How do convice my family member to let me own a motorbike

[kitaro9202]

i got my licence close to a year back

 

and i it without their knowledge

 

They found out i have a bike licence.

 

I told them i would like to own a motorbike and they strongly against it.

 

Is there anyway to convince them?

[Rochmer]

Spare a thought for them.

They brought u up only to lose u 18 years later. How would they feel?

You will only understand when u have your own children many years later.

[lkm]

You don't. Unless they are convinced themselves.

My parents were a big part of the reason why i ride a three wheeler. But it was a joy to ride. I told them while learning 2b.. And after awhile.. they kinda got used to it. Earn their trust by coming home safely each time

Yes. Cannot agree more with taleo85. Earn their trust by returning home safely.

 

In addition, wear gloves, long sleeve top / jacket and covered shoes.

 

Upgrade your protective gears when you are able to do it.

I was trying to make my 2b learning as discreet as possible. After found out by my dad, kenna scolding and then scolded my wife as well why let me learn blah blah so dangerous. He remarked even I pass, he would never ever allow me to buy a bike back home.

 

So upon passing, I bought the bike without my dad's knowledge and parked the bike at other car parks. Some people will say why not get the approval from my dad, which I can tell you is a straight no as he just wanted me to drive only. But when I went out on rides, I will wear jacket, gloves, jeans and shoes and abiding to speed limit.

It's not how safe you ride. It's the carelessness of others that can kill you. Hope you understand that

Nagging:

 

I didnt have to convince my family members to own my bikes.

 

Either I am old enough, and I wasnt taking finances from the family members.

 

Its different from a pet, where you bring into your homes, sharing spaces with family members.

 

Whats important, is how you are responsible. From finances, to how you live your life which include how you ride, what activities you do, and how you plan for life besides the present.

[haoKR]

u should have just bought a bike after your license.

they say dont ride so fast ah.

 

of cause they are angry. and how many parents out there let their kids ride.

get 1 ride if you really like. throw away your license if that passion is not inside u

Yes old enough to think already.

But yes on the other hands me as a parents will also try to stop my children from riding..(Double standard)..

When I took my license back in 1996...my parents also not aware. But I still tell them. But I made a promise to them I ride safe and come back home. They eventually got used to it despite the nagging. There are many factors on how you can end up on the road. Self discipline is one, be conspicuous and road smart. It's the love ones that I think about daily that makes ride with open eyes and want to come back home safe. My bikes has always come with those with big headlights and turn signals...till now I do ride but very much less as I drive. One things for sure, being a rider and a driver I keep a lookout and anticipate better for other road users.

Ask ur parents at wat age they will allow you to ride...

[wait4me]

u wil only understand once u become a parent.

[kaiq]

If u can't ride now, go upgrade ur license. At least still can ride.

Long long time ago. Standing at the back to two uniformed policemen, who was approaching a home, to announce the fatality of a certain youngster on bike.

 

The moment the father and mother opened the door. Saw the two police officer, the mother turned to the father, slapped him real hard and screamed at him. "Told you not to buy him the bike!"

 

All persons will hurt.

 

Its like Gun Control. Its a necessary evil. But only with consistent training. Care and Awareness. It shouldnt be the fault of the machine. And it shouldnt be about passing of the phobia to whoever, to limit the possibilities.

Riding a motorcycle is of course more dangerous than driving a car. But it is a risk worth taking, because if you have not ridden a motorcycle before in your life, then IMHO, you miss out some very enjoyable activity in life.

I'm both a driver and rider, and that really helps me to be accident free. Touch wood, I've not got into any accident before in my 13 years of everyday riding. Thinking of your family is a way to keep you from reckless riding.

I can well afford a car, but I still ride, nobody can stop me, and 13 years accident-free record is enough to show anyone who is stopping me from riding. I bought enough insurance.

My son is old enough to take driving licence, if he wants to learn 2B, I'll say, "go ahead but be careful, it is better to gain road experience by driving than by riding, drive 1 to 2 years first and then ride, it is better for you and other road users." I got into a car accident within my first year of getting class 3, luckily it was car accident, not bike accident. I drove a car everyday for 4 years, then I rode a bike.

So in summary, there are people who died while riding motorbike, but there are also many people who live to very old age riding motorcycles since their teens. It is self-discipline, mindset, experience and attitude.

Enjoy riding.

hmm... I also start to drive for a few yrs 1st before learning to ride n so far touch wood, no accident too. Maybe that shud really be the way. never thought of it.

[kaizersg]

Bro go find of job @ j.Island , shift Job so lay out your story nicely on why u require a bike to travel to n fro

[duo]

Pardon me but i do not like the idea of someone gaining road experience first by driving. Its just selfish. So its alright to get into a car accident first? In which it might involve some bike rider? Look around on the roads. Most that simply happily cut, forcing out, tailgate, high beaming riders are those who have never ride in their life. They do not even have a riding licence. They always ask why are riders on the first lane and they expect riders to always be only on the most left lane together with the heavy vehicles at all times. When a rider passes them on the highway they somewhat get initmidated and thus stepped more on the accelerator. When they see riders lane splitting, instead of looking out for the rider they 'close' the gap by moving closer. When a rider squeezed all the way to the front while waiting for the green light instead of giving the rider space they purposely start to inch out to provoke/scare the rider.

 

I would hope that those who want to get a class 3 have to acquire a riding licence first and have real on the road riding experience. That way they will feel and know the vulnerabilities of those who rides. Also hopefully they also will learn how important safety is through riding. For if one neglects or make the wrong move while riding it could be their last. As for TS, I do not know how you can convince your family to let you ride or own a bike. But what I can say is you got to earn their trust first. Eventually they will hopefully. Unless you are from those atas type of family that owns a car each. That one you can really give up. I am guessing that your Dad neither have a riding licence nor have ridden a bike. I may be wrong though.

Always remember, our lives dont just belong to us.

our families and friends will be impacted.

 

Ride safe, leave the ego, pride and anger behind.

instead bring along a clear mind, sharp reflexes and a defensive attitude.

 

all the best in your bike riding journey.

[Anodize]

Tell them that even buses have accident =x

haha. but seriously. Sometimes, just have to ride without letting them know. That's how I did and my parents are okay with it now.

Some may force you to sell the bike, some will be okay with it. Just have to gamble with it. x.x

[gohjohan]

I think there's another thread like this somewhere, but it's quite relevant to me because I still haven't told my mum that I bought a bike when I return to Australia. I don't plan to tell her until she visits.

[stsoh]

need your parent permission?

need to convince your parent?

u r not old enough to ride, keep your licence in your wallet.

[solitaryrider]

imho if u want it real hard enough u will get it regardless.

 

I take my parents' advice but I live my own life
