Question by Blake: How do I convince my parents to let me get a motorcycle?
Background:
I am 19 and I have had my license since the day I turned 16, I have shown responsibility by having 5 different extremely nice cars and trucks, all of which would normally draw a lot of police attention (custom paint, tinted windows, and fast / bright colored cars). I bought every single car myself and paid in cash.
I never even got pulled over, and I have never been in an accident.
I am a full time engineering student and work 20 hours a week at a bank, I am a “good kid” and don’t use any drugs or alcohol.
As you can see i am very responsible.
Question: How do I convince my parents to let me get a motorcycle?
I have been trying to convince them since 6 months after I turned 16. They say they trust me, but don’t trust other drivers to not hit me or pull out in front of me. I live at home and they say that I cant have a bike until after I move out, not for my safety, but because my mom does not want to sit at home and worry about me making it home.
I have tried for a 250-350cc dual sport (dirt bike type) bike, as well as a small sport bike (Kawasaki Ninja 250). Neither of these are fast by any means (My car I am driving now has a top speed of over 160mph).
So how do I convince my mom that I wont get hit by a car?
I have already suggested: extra reflectors, neon green / reflective riding gear, extra bright lights, buying a bright colored bike, only being allowed to ride when its light out, call/text her when I leave and get places.
I am lost, please help as this is a passion of mine.
Thank You
I cant just “go get one”, because I will be kicked out of the house, and cant afford to live on my own because I am going to school.
In my state its required to take a beginning motorcycle safety test in order to get your endorsement, and I would be wearing protective gear, and only be riding a 250cc bike.
David- It probably does not help that my dad used to ride street bikes and got cut off by a car and ended up in the hospital when he was about my age. I am trying to work on my mom because she is “the boss” lol
