you are not a "playa" your a "looza"
your not a "pimp" seeing as the controll of money and prostitutes requires some mathematical skills.
i dont even want to know what a "hustla" is...

i recon scooters are not as safe simply becoz they go slower than the trafic flow and will end up becoming a new item on the front of a trucks grill.
i have to drive to town in a 80kmh zone on a main highway so is not sutible for where i live.

i have had 1.5 years road use. i know how idiots think they can make it and pull out in front or dont look. i have had 2 people pull out in front of me.

as 4 the people so fussed a bout how i spell get a life it is simple abriviation ( hope i spelt that right)
my spelling skills are not great but i seam to be getting along

Well, it sounds like you've done the right thing in terms of allocating money for gear etc.

I think the best thing is to just work on your mum slowly, giving good arguments. Most of the advice given has been pretty good.

Good luck.

As for the spelling thing, you're not the first person to get this flak for it. Just be aware that punctuation (if not spelling) can put you up for a lot of hassles on the site. Just a warning, not a condemnation.

Bad spelling, within reason, is OK around here. If you want to use TXT language, or write like a Hoodie, buy a cellphone.

i talked to mum she said same old thing about it more dangerous than car becouse of no seat belts ect( i now know u guys refure 2 a car as a cage). is said i will drive carefully and i wont make the same mistake as dad. my younger brother who is a wana be gansta/hoddie said your 16 and got a job get 1 any way. i said i would rather live in the house and not hav me go behind mums back. later mum said that she will think about it and as long as i get all the gear (all 1000 bucks worth not just a helmut) she said she might be able to live with it, but she will worry every time i go out. so i decided to use her car for a month or so more and slowly work at it so she wont be so worried when i get 1.
thanks for the advise and will watch out 4 more davice from you guys.
on this thread
will tell u when ready 4 a bike

now, those posts i could read. the first one i had to re-read about 6 times. as hitch said...bad spelling is acceptable, so long as it can be read.
you seem like a sensible kid otherwise [ie, allocating $$ for gear.] you will be lucky to get a $2000 bike, a new gn250 can cost up to $3000 plus. [unless you buy second hand] if you do go that route, make sure you get it checked, properly.

The thing is, you can be one the most careful riders out there, but that's not going to give your mother back the man she once knew. It's also not going to stop idiots from being on the road and killing/maiming you. This issue is not going to take 5 minutes to resolve. The quickest fix you can get is time. Truth be known when you get older and get the bike you want, your mother is never going to like you riding it. Hell, you could have a career in Superbike and be the winningest rider ever and never have an accident and she still won't like it.

In saying that, you are going to have to make the decision to get a bike yourself. You could get killed crossing the road on foot or by many other means. Life itself is dangerous. The thing is though that you still live at home and are cared for by someone who does actually care (there's a lot that don't) just be patient it's the best thing you can do.

ditto col i second that, man i didnt get a bike till hmm fark till i broke up with the ex lol. my parents never wanted me to get a bike too. i went for my basic handling bout 4 or 5 years back, but since i was still with my parents i had to live by their rules which sucked lol, so i took off moved in with my mate then later on i finally did the basic handling again and got my bike. im not saying that you should take off from home, just be patient and talk to your parents like the others say

He must be someone getting a laugh outta this thread..... A new guy who posts with terrible spelling and has to ask his mum if he can ride a bike when he is already 30 years old????????

Buy the bike, have it in your driveway and then ask your mum if you can have it, it works.....

as someone else said....you can literally be the best rider ever...ride for 10 years and never have an off. just remember, its not if....its when. im sure some of these guys on here have been riding for years and ill bet my weeks wages they have all come off at least once....whether it be their fault, a cagers fault or a mixture of the two.
