but i want it next year, anyone have any luck convincing their parents? just want to hear some stories, not really looking for advice since i doubt i can change her mind, i'll just do it anyways. |
Ride a scooter first on the streets of Vancouver, that will totally change your opinion on whether you want a big CC bike or not. It also helps if you've been a car crash (or two). Those two things really shaped my view of whether or not I REALLY want a bike.
My parents are against it and are still against it. I still want one, I'll probably get one but not when I'm living under their roof.
Oh yeah, and like Ulic said, you need a good amount of driving experience before you should get your hands on a bike. Being a statistic is waaaaaay too easy.
