If you need a vehicle for work and are afraid of going into debt, buying a motorcycle can be a fiscally responsible way to commute.
Bikes dominate cars when it comes to fuel efficiency.
It’s easy to find a motorcycle that gets more than 60 miles per gallon. If your mum buys the fiscal argument, make sure to mention this. If not, make it an environmental point.
Parking is easy.
This one is big for the urban motorcyclist. Circling the block looking for a spot big enough for a car wastes time and gas. Finding a spot for your hog is a lot simpler.
Manoeuvrability makes a big difference in an emergency.
While you shouldn’t be swerving between cars in normal circumstances, lots of action movies prove that when you need to cut through traffic in an emergency situation, a motorcycle is the way to go.
You can’t text and drive.
Well, technically, you can. But the stupidity of doing so is much more apparent than in a car — so you’re unlikely to try it.
You’ll be easier to shop for.
Come your birthday, your mum won’t have to worry about finding something you’ll like or need. There’s so much cool motorcycle gear out there (helmets, gloves, jackets, and accessories are just a start), she’ll always be able to come up with something good.
You need a motorcycle licence to ride a scooter.
I really appreciate you taking the time to right this! I think that my parents are really caught up on the fact that there are a lot more deaths from people riding motorcycles than there are from people driving cars. Also do you know the costs of insurance and registrations?
Get your motorcycle license without telling them.
Tell them six months later.
You’re done.
That’s what a buddy of mine did. So far only his dad has found out, and he’s super cool with it. I basically just told my parents that I was getting it just so I could have it (a total lie). I started riding the second I got it.
lol i would but i can’t get it without one of them signing for it
Seriously I dont know what i have to say because i’m 15 (turning 16 this year) riding bike/scooter almost everyday to school. I guess i like to live dangerously.
it doesn’t help that i crashed my dirt bike and might have broken my hand…
