Whose parents don't know that you're riding? *raise hand*

[fion12]

On the contary, sports bikes are generally safer than cruisers, at least for those in the class 2 range. Sports bikes usually have the latest high-end brakes, good suspension, good tires, good handling. Cruisers on the other hand, have weird riding position, bad handling, poor suspension, yucky brakes. So, which bike is safer?

 

Hmm, I didn't know that. That was useful! I always thought that sports bikes are really dangerous from all those road accidents. You know.. a lots of the bikes involved in the accident are sports bikes, or from what I know.

 

I don't dare to tell them because I am afraid they will cut me off financially so that I have no choice but to sell my bike. That is terrible as I am still schooling..

Thats debatable - though which bike type is safer is a moot point considering the general consensus is that all bike are unsafe. Unfortunately its the organic bit holding onto the handlebars that causes the most problem.

 

The TS should be well-advised to invest in the proper gear (All The Gear All The Time seems in vogue and is a good practise to follow though Im very guilty of not practising it). The experience will come with time. A lot of riders dont ride so much, just commute to work - it might be a good idea to spent time just riding to get a feel of the bike, roads, traffic conditions. Over time you will be able to react to conditions and traffic more fluently.

Hopefully everyone who has problems with the family over their bike riding will be able to resolve these issues. I understand that my case is not as serious as you guys so I have no moral high ground to stand on, but well, I've been through your age and I've waited so many years. Good job on daring to go ahead with your dream! I didn't dare do that.

 

I intend to go to a motorcycle shop with my mum tomorrow to buy a helmet

You can never forget the look of your parents when they see you home in blood and bruises. So...

I'm not sure she will think that it's safer. She might think otherwise you know? Don't push my luck that much lah. My father wanted me to use the 20 year old helmet at home, and my mum said that she'd rather I get a new one hahahah!

 

And I read somewhere that it's not allowed in driving school.

It's quite funny actually. For a long time, I didn't know where to get one near my place. I asked my colleagues for suggestions and suggestions would be places like Ah Boy's. I figured I don't need to actually go all the way there just to buy a helmet for school and so I never really got around to finding a place to buy a helmet.

 

This Wednesday, I decided to ask my dad where to buy one in order to 'show hand' that I am going to learn how to ride. I brought this topic up previously, but I wanted it to be a 'confirm they know' thing. Thursday figured out that on Friday my mum would be going somewhere (and wants me to go) where there are motorcycle workshops. So I figured, let's go find a helmet there with my mum.

 

So.

 

Now I have a helmet. Heh. My mum even carried it home for me cos I had to go to school (Uni) after that.

 

By the way, Thursday night I had a mini talk with my mum. Basically I told her that I'm not young anymore and I don't want to be like 60 years old and thinking that I should have learnt to ride. I also said that I didn't want to learn to ride in secret and end up buying a bike without her knowledge.
