How to convince my parents to let me have a motorbike 10 points best answer?

Well, my dad said many times i can and now he thinks they're to dangerous he had one. I'm paying for it etc if i'm aloud. I got off report like i said i would which was an agreement for a motorbike and he don't keep to it. I asked him loads of times in past and he said 'your money' now its No bikes.





Any help?How to convince my parents to let me have a motorbike 10 points best answer?
motorcycles aren't dangerous - bad riders, and the cars around you are what's dangerous.





i didn't buy my bike until i was 22, so this wasn't a huge issue for me, but parents USUALLY respond well to reasoning.





have a plan laid out for them:





- register for the local Motorcycle Safety Foundation class. If you can get a parent to attend with you, even better.





- Have proper safety gear purchases laid out. a decent helmet (a $150 scorpion is fine. doesn't have to be a $700 Arai), armored jacket, leather gloves, armored pants, and riding boots are essential. a reflective vest makes you 200% more visible to cars





- suggest a bike that's practical and not stupidly powerful. 500cc and smaller are easier to control, and cheap to insure. No one needs a liter bike, or even a 600cc inline 4 as their first motorcycle...





- share what you know, and what you're learning about motorcycle safety. the 2 major causes of motorcycle accidents are cars that don't see bikes, and drunk/impaired riders. You can make yourself more visible, and obviously avoid drinking and riding.

Take the Motorcycle Safety Foundation Basic Rider Course. They will provide the motorcycle for you to learn on, in addition to the mental and physical skills needed to operate a bike. I've put the link below, or you can go to your state's Department or Bureau of Motor Vehicles website and look for a link to Motorcycle Rider Training.





There are other factors involved here, however; you don't say how old you are, where you live, what your driving record currently is like, what type of bike you want, etc.





The more calmly and reasonably you discuss this with your parents and try to logically address their concerns, the more likely they are to come around. If you throw a tantrum or try to hide the fact that you've already bought a bike, however, you're just giving them more reason to say ';no';.





Unfortunately, there are times when parents just won't come around, no matter what you try. Prepare for the worst, hope for the best, and be satisfied with something in between.
You are NOT ready and should NOT be riding a bike if you're still at home living with mommy and daddy asking for their permission. I'm shocked that an MSF instructor is encouraging you to buy a bike. This is a recipe for disaster. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT even think about buying a bike until you're 21, have a more mature and responsible head on your shoulders, and are independent of mommy and daddy. Ignore this advice, and you're parents will be at your funeral for buying a new ';toy';.
Wait till your out on your own... Unfortunately there are no pros that outweigh the dangers of a motorcycle. They are just as dangerous in the hands of a veteran rider as they are in a new rider... Best wait till your older and on your own to make the decision your self.
go to the following website and print it out. then have your parents read it. tell them you will take a msf course an be careful. worked for me

Take the MSF course. Then buy the bike and hide it at a friend's house. They will find out sooner or later, but sometimes it's easier to get forgiveness than permission.
