How to convince my mom to let me get a motorcycle.?

Question

I'm 16, and have had my drivers license for about 4 months now. Ever since I was younger, my dad has had motorcycles and I rode on the back, and wanted one.

I took the ABATE class (MSF) about 6 months ago and got my motorcycle endorsement... All I need is a bike. I have the money to do so, but my mom is just not budging. My dad just got a new bike, and he's all for me getting a bike, but he won't get me one because I really think my mom would divorce him if he did hahahaa shes THAT stuck on NOT getting me a bike.

Any suggestions on what I should do? I have a car already, so I'm not getting a bike as alternative... I just wanna ride! It's been a big dream of mine since I grew up riding dirtbikes... I just want to start early before I turn 18 and I get a brand new bike... Regardless, when I'm 18 I will be buying a brand new bike really don't know, and I REALLY want to get my experience up on a cheap bike I can find around town. I even offered to take the advanced ABATE class on MY bike.

Answer 1

I totally agree with you, you should get a bike since you have everything you need and are able to. But your mom wont budge on this matter. No matter what you try to do to convince her, its a mom thing. Even if you were 20 your mom wouldn't like you getting a bike but since your 20 she can't do anything about it. So my advice is wait a while longer and then bring it up to her again in a few weeks or even months. Well at the most 1 month. And see if you can ride your dads bike for a little while and show your mom that your careful and you ride safe on a bike. Even take her on a ride a few times if you are able to do so. If all comes the worse you will just have to would have to wait till your 18.

Well, what I did was act really mature, responsible, and respectful toward my parents for a couple of months, and they finally decided I was deserving of a motorcycle.

Your question is not RACING, so you get this :

Sorry, but you must have clicked the wrong section, as this is the motorcycle RACING questions.

The best advice I can give you is you to post this question again.

You would get a better response in....

"Cars & Transportation"> "Motorcycles"

I guess you will just have to really suck up to your mother as most mothers love to be appreciated.  Who knows if you do a good enough job of it she may give in.  OTherwise you will have to wait till you are 18
