My young fella is the same. He'll stand up at the gates of hell for his mother.
Get some training bro - lots of it. There are courses for africa over your way.
Get an $80 pocketbike and race it on the track. Tell your mum the road is for touring and the track is for racing.
Buy some books and read them until they fall apart.. leave them lying around on the coffee table - explain that it's critical safety information and tell your mum about the cool things you learn.
Get some old fart on a boring bike and introduce him to your mum as your mentor. Go on rides with them.
Buy ALL of your safety gear BEFORE you go anywhere near any bike. Make it all the good expensive stuff. Tell your mum why its imperative to have all the safety gear before you even OWN a bike. Explain all the features of the safety gear to your mum.
Get someone to teach you to steer properly.
Tell your mum how much she means to you, and that you are not going to get your stupid self bent.
Don't tell her not to worry. She IS GOING TO WORRY.
Live up to your promise, and DON'T BE AN ARSE on your motorbike. Picture your mums tears when you are dead. Remind yourself of this every time you ride.
Tell your mates to fuck off and do stupid shit on their own - you want no part of it.
edit: ask your mum to help polish your bike. Polish it like you have never polished anything in your life.
Is this helping?
