I am 18, 6'3, 220 lbs. female. I will be using this to ride to work and just around, probably 80 miles at the most, round trip.

my parents had a few bikes in their glory days, (aka before me). my brother has one, and I have always been fond of them. I would like to buy it myself, since my dad is a little wary of my getting one.

i can bare around 00.
it doesn't have to look pretty

Long but please read: Let me start from the beginning. When I met him he was smoking weed and I didn't know about it, he was a pot head. One time i caught him doing outside of my house, how stupid can you be..and i broke it off with him that night. After that night, he promised he would change. That he really liked me, that he would change for me. So i gave him a chance. He was my first everything pretty much. My parents didn't like him because they found out that he was smoking weed outside of our house, and on top of that he would pick me up everyday after school and we would have sex in my house. At the time i was 17 turning 18, in my senior year. My sister's ex bf didn't like my ex, so he decided to tell my parents what was going on, he knew what was going on because my sister told him..i was really pissed off at the time but then i realized that it wasn't right and it was disrespectful..Anyways everyone kept telling me that i could do better..Another thing i disliked was that he smoked cigs..i hated that..I told him to quit many times, and he would tell me that he had quit and i would find the packs..it really hurt me that he kept lying to me, and then i finally made a compromise with him, to cut down the amount little by little, and now today he has stopped smoking. It got to a point that i didn't really want to kiss him because i was just disgusted by it. Another thing, his dad bought him a motorcycle, and he knew that i hated motorcycles because my dad had a real bad accident, he almst died..so we argued alot about this! He even had a motorcycle accident, a few scrapes and a weak leg, and he wasn't wearing helmet..i was very upset and told him that he is lucky that is all that happened to him, after that he kept riding his damn motorcycle, i almost broke up with him because of it. Oh he even told my mom we were having sex on prom nite because she kept calling all nite, I was humiliated, I wasn't ready to tell her this! Anyway when I met him he was taking emt courses and was failing because he wasn't studying. At the time he was working at chillis, and we barely saw each other. We would talk on the phone alot, and i really liked talking to him. I was never unfaithful to him. Then sometime while he was working at chillis he got arrested for credit card swiping. At the time i was really suspicious because he was buying alot of gifts and taking me out 2 eat, and then he finally confessed to me what he did. I was soo uspet at him. I remember him telling me something about it, but i never thought he would actually do it. So before all this had happened, he broke up with me because we were having alot of drama, with my parents not liking him and my mom threatnening to call the cops, and he couldn't take it anymore, and that i deserved better than him..and he was right. Then some time after that he starts texting me out of no where that he misses me, that he can't live without me, and this is in the middle of the night, and then one day I see him at the club with his friend, and Im with my friends dancing, and he won't take his eyes off me, later on he asks me to dance and i don't know why I say yes..and he starts telling me that he misses me again, and he tries to kiss me and I don't let him and I begin to cry and tell him that I can't do it anymore and I walk away, then after some more time as im studying in the library the messages start again, and i give in. We start seeing each other secretly, meeting in motels, and i start lying saying that I am going to the library.. and then i finally tell my parents that i am seeing him again, and my mom n dad don't like it..my dad even told me that if i ever married him that he wouldn't go to my wedding, that i could do so much better, and that he didn't want to talk to me, eventually he did start talking to me though. So when he got arrested, his dad bailed him out and he called me crying, that he was so sorry for what he put me through, that he was happy that i was in his life, that many other girls wouldn't have put up with it, and that i was the good in his life. So obviously, he got fired from chillis and he began working with his dad. He had plans to start a bussiness, he had alot of plans. Through all this i supported him because I loved him, despite everything. He changed because of me, he told me that i was the positive influence in his life, and his parents and sister told me the same. They loved me, and they were so good to me, i grew really attached to them. Then some time later he decides to go back to school, he found a good job that pays for school as long as he maintains his grades. He was very smart, but made alot of stupid mistakes. I loved how affectionate he could be with me, but there were times that he was an asshole..he had anger problems, he would flip out easily.. i am really bad with directions and he called me stupid and retarded one time, and then when i would cry later on he would tell me that he was sorry and that he didn't mean it,

Im currently 17 years old, 6ft, and around 130 lbs, and im looking for a good first STREET motorcycle to buy. I really want a GSX-R 600, but my parents are telling me not to start out on a GSX-R because they are VERY powerful, even the 600 one. I was just wondering if anyone had any good suggestions on a motorcycle. Something that sounds looks good, and sounds great. Speed isn't THAT much of an issue, because i'd rather not kill myself on one by speeding. The bike doesn't HAVE to be Suzuki, but i'd appreciate it if it was, i love Suzuki's.
-Thanks in advance!

I'm a 16-year-old guy with my basic license. I’m going into my senior year and looking to buy a bike, nothing over 600cc. I've been saving my money from part time jobs for the past two years and have saved about 8 grand, after buying my self a car. With gas prices soaring it's starting to seem unreasonable to have a car with bad mpg for my only mode of transportation. I've always been a fan of motorcycles due to their sporty look and great handling. My parents aren't really supportive of me buying a bike, not due to my lack of responsibility or skill, but due to the lack of responsibility of other drivers. They think that if I drive a bike I'm going to pull out of the driveway and get hit buy a semi. I am about to enroll myself in a motorcycle safety course and more defensive driving courses; unfortunately the parents still have a problem. How should I go about convincing them in a polite way to let me buy MYSELF a motorcycle?

I want to get an 08 or newer yamaha r6.I have a part time job making a little over minimum wage and I am going to start stripping a few nights a month. I am almost 19 and would like my parents not to know about the job, but if they find out, whatever. So pretty much I am trying to figure out how I can manage this on my own. I have no credit, but I am responsible. Also I have a clean driving record and am on good student discount for insurance on my car.

What would payments look like for a 8-10,000 bike?
Also what would full coverage insurance be like (approx) a month?

I am looking to buy a sports bike, motorcycle at the end of the summer, and I am curious, what brands are there other than Kawasaki, honda, suzuki, and yamaha, b/c at Kawa, i found a ninja 250R, and it suited me better, I have 3600$ to spend, and I don't need anything too powerful. Also I am 16 years old, can I use a seperate insurance from my parents? Or must I be under theirs? Also, where is the best place to buy? Straight from Kawasaki, or a dealer of many moto's?
I forgot to mention i will have 3.6k cash, or w/e, so no loan, i will buy on site, if that helps, and im not gonna pop anything crazy. Also, I already have helmet jacket boots, etc.

Hi,
I'm a guy and I'm 17 years old.

I like my life so far, I'm not rich or poor just an average guy. I have a motorcycle, a car, a job, money, and a "sense" of independence. I can do pretty much whatever I want now. My parents don't care and I earned their trust. I can go to the movies at 11 in the morning on the weekdays.

I go to HS, and I'm pretty much the loner guy or the lone wolf. I'm not bad looking myself and I carry my motorcycle helmet to class.

I can't ask anything more- so far... Anyways, I don't have a GF or have friends. I guess I'm always like that, I think I'm just mature for my age and lucky for you girls you have friends and I don't...LoL

You girls have that "cushion" that protects you when you fall. Unfortantly, for me I don't have that 'cushion' and when I fall I fall very hard. That's why I work hard to take care of myself I've been doing it sense Elementry.

I go to the movies, to the mall, restauraunt, Best Buy, pretty much you name it I "do it alone."
I'm not a creep I can be out going at some times and I like to wonder at the mall.

Anyways, girls.......Do you girls have the worst self-esteem of them all?
Why do you girls always want guys, espically in HS?
Do you ever consider going out with "nice" guys or are we just way out of your league?

WHy do you want to be popular?

If you had a chance with me will you go out with me?

My bf & I are taking a motorcycle trip next week on his Harley(2005 Sportster) We r visiting my parents in Iowa, then taking a trip north to Minnesota/Wisconsin. However, my a$$ kills me on these trips.Is there a way to cushion my butt on this trip without having to buy a new seat?
LOL... I am not wearing a diaper
Awww Reality Check. U my buddy,but I'm too hot to be in a side car. LOL

I really want one but my mom thinks theirs no point and I'll kill my self the first day.

She knows I'm responseable enough but is afraid of her little boy growing up. My dad is ok with it as long as she is.

1. I'm 15, 2 mouths from my 16th birthday

2. The bike is a CBR600RR
http://powersports.honda.com/motorcycles/sport/model.asp?ModelName=CBR600RR&ModelYear=2008&ModelId=CBR600RR8

3. They're planing on buying me a car, but the bike is only 8,000

4. I like the looks of sports bikes and how they feel, so I'm not going to speed cause I know I can get hurt doing that on a bike.

5. South Carolina doesn't require helmets but I plan on wearing one along with other safty gear

6. gas mileage is alot better on bikes which is good with gas prices now.

7. The only wrong reason I want one is that girls like guys who ride bikes.

please only put anwswers that apply to my question and none that say how i'm to young
they wear planing on getting me a car a long time before I even wanted the bike
sorry if the "girls like guys with bikes" offended you, I only ment alot of girls I know
I driven bikes with alot more power, my uncle has acouple that he let my drive alone (i have a bike licence)
I've driven raceing qality bikes that have 1000cc
I have been driveing bikes for a year an a half parents don't know that but I do know how to ride. and the only place i ride FAST is at a drag strip my town has(no raceing)

When I was about 9 years old I started riding motorcycles, my parents bought me a helmet, I slept with it on the first night. Pretty silly.
If any of you read this, would you please report vanessa, and head first for halos, lets get these idiots off this site.
Thanks

I am an 18 year old female. 5'5 and 110 pounds. I admire sport bikes, mainly the Suzuki GSXR. I currently have a 2008 Mustang, and my parents pay for the payments, gas, and insurance. Now I'm contemplating buying myself a motorcycle. My parents are against it, so I know i'll be paying for everything.
I plan on signing up for Rider Courses to learn how to ride, and being safe.
I just want to hear some feedback on any experience of riding. Is it worth it? What bikes would you recommend for beginners, such as myself? And so on...

A friend bought an old motorcycle frame and various parts from a garage/ moving sale and has since slowly but surely, as time and money permit, been building a chopper. Recently in a discussion the question of registration came up and a lot of different opinions on how and what he will need to register it. He has lots of paid receipts for parts but no title. Anyone have a clue?
It seems the frame was purchased from the parents of a son, not available, who long ago realized the work involved and completely lost interest and hung it out of the way in the family garage at least fifteen years ago.
The son, it seems bought the custom fabricated frame and some odd parts from an old lawnmower shop going out of business as an abandant project by the shops owners at least five or six years before the reality and expense of the project surpassed his dreams too.
The custom built frame is numberless.
Although rebuilt, the engines block has numbers and a pile of receipts as does most all essential parts.
The bike will be registered in New York and there is little concern as far as passing N.Y.State's inspection.
It is the what, when, and how of registration is in question. Is there such a thing as a custom/ homemade title?

I want a motorcycle really bad, but my mom says no. I am only going to ride my bike in the neighborhood and not on local streets, plus my neighborhood street almost nevr has a car in it. I am going to go like 5mph for a few days to get a feel for it. I promise to only go a maximum of 20mph after i get a feel for it. I also said I will pay for all and that i must buy the equipment(gloves,helmet,forearm pads, knee pads, and elbow pads.) before buying the bike. i must have my cellphone at all times, cant ride unless i have all my safety equipment on, no stupid stunts like wheelies or going off ramps, never go anywhere on it w/o telling her, no one else may ride it except for me. Also my parents are divorced and my dad doesn't care if i get one if i do what i say i am going to do, but my mom says no. On top of that when she doesn't like something she doesn't even let you finish a sentence.

I have little compassion for those that say they cannot afford to insure their children. #1 - don't have children if you can't afford them; then don't expect me to pay for the ones you can't afford. #2 - it doesn't cost that much to insure a child; part of a parents responsibility is to sacrafice for the sake of their children.

Case in point - I have an acquaintance whose parents both worked and they made just above the cut-off for getting government help for insurance. What did they do? They went out and bought 2 brand new motorcycles, helmets, chaps, gloves and boots, so they could take their little darling on wonderful family outings. That money would have went a long way to insuring them, huh?

Am I unreasonable?
artgurrl - you exagerrate...anyone can get a family plan HSA account for much less than 00 a month. No, the best plan that pays for all of the coverage would not be affordable to most, but at least some coverage is better than none or making someone else pay for it?

okay so my brother is 18 and bought a street bike. hes a smart kid and all, but just the thought of him out there on the rode riding it makes me so nervous that i want to throw up! im so scared that something bad is gonna happen to him, ive already had two friends and one family member die in motorcycle accidents! and now that he has a motorcycle, it scares the crap out of me! i love him sooo much and i care so much about him, hes pretty much my best friend! my parents dont really want him riding one either but they seem alot more comfortable with it than me!! i know that hes an adult and that hes allowed to make his own decisions, but that doesnt change how i feel!! everytime he leaves the house, i feel like i have a hole in my stomach and it doesnt go away until he comes back home! hes a safe driver and wears a helmet, but i just cant stop being worried about him!!

HELP ME!!
what i am supposed to do??

So I recently just bought a motorcycle 07 Yamaha R6S. I'm 19 years old and first time rider. I financed the bike under my name. My parents have Allstate and I'm under there insurance for the car insurance. Can they add a motorcycle under their insurance or do I have to go on my own? If so, how much is full coverage on a bike for a 19 year old? I have 1 ticket on record. Would I be able to just get liability? I live in California. Any advice would be helpful.

He says he wants a kawasaki ninja or something because its a good price and gas prices are sky rocketing.
he already received a Honda Passport, or something called something like that.. but it was his BD present.
So anyways at school he was mentioning to me how he made a deal with his parents if he could save up the money (which he is) he can get the motorcycle.

I have been fascinated w/ motorcycles since i was a young kid.I wanted 1 so badly i told my parents i'll get 1 when i became old enough & they just smiled. Now i'm 18, have a job & saved enough money to buy myself one...but they wouldn't allow me to have one. I took The MSF coarse,Passed it w/ flying colors, bought all my safety gear(helmet boots Gloves & Jacket) in advance. They told me that this day will come & they're afraid that i might get hurt or even killed. Dad won't talk to me; Mom was crying. They even offered to co-sign a brand new car, but i told them that i'm set on the bike.And i told them that i'm a safe& responsible rider(even showed them my gear+ my MSF test Results) but they still wouldn't budge.Even my best buddies dropped by to educate them about riding safety; but to no avail.Why are my parents so not fair about this? Please help...I don't know what to do, i never wanted a car or any 4 wheeled vehicle for that matter...just a motorcycle. Thank You & God Bless...
