[QUOTE="garyahouse, post: 936368, member: 20946"] After reading the rest of this thread, I must disagree... with me. I totally forgot to mention that Kathy (remember the pic of the red Honda earlier in this thread) is 22 years old, and has been driving responsibly for 6 years. I should have pointed that out. My bad. You did say 16... what was I thinking? We were all 16 year old boys once, and nothing, I mean NOTHING on the planet is more exciting to a 16 year old boy than a motorcycle - with the exception of a beautiful new girlfriend. But barring the female factor, the very fact that bikes are indeed soooo exciting seriously raises the odds that there will be an accident on the road. Good grief, I drive like grandma most of the time and I can't believe how often trouble ALMOST happens. Good thing I've got angels looking out for my hide. But we remember being 16 don't we? Sure, we were careful... but most of us would have to agree, there were many times that we were LUCKY. The question is, are you sure you wanna take that chance? Better to make the call now, than to regret not making it later. Consider this: would you have complained if you got a dirt bike and got to enjoy a trip out to the boonies each weekend when you were 16? As I recall, dirt biking was much more fun than streetbikin... and I had both when I was 16. And at 16, let's face it, fun is the name of the game... or have we all forgotten?
