[QUOTE="Hudson, post: 935490, member: 15488"] Wayne, Here's my two cents. A 16 yr. old has at least 2-3 years to simply get the hang of driving, and understanding traffic, learning about responsibility of piloting a powerful rig, experimenting with speed and braking and weather and distractions, and learning how to handle the boneheads around him. And that is just driving a car. If he or you has to get him a bike, take the advice of others here and start on the dirt. He can master learning the extra issues of a riding a motorcycle, and the both of you will have tons of fun without worrying. When he's 22 and proven responsible, I'd consider getting him a road bike. It will motivate him to finish school. I've got two boys 8 and 10, and can't wait till one or both can ride with me. Starting them on dirt now, and won't consider letting them ride on the road until they finish college. The DAY after, however, we are going shopping! [/QUOTE]
