the pops isn't too pleased, he thinks I should wait until i'm 24 (he follows the train of thought that you magically wake up one day and decide it's time to stop taking risks...(ie. speeding, riding the bike in the first place) , i think I should make my own decisions...

any of you guys have a bike? if so, how old were you when you got it? any accidents? was the pops (if applicable) happy? post some pics of your bike!!!

also, i found this link in my travels...

seems to me everyone thinks you're getting the rates for the 40 yr old guy on a harley. but $4,183 is a yearly policy for the same bike (granted it's 10 years older) with similar credentials (the example gives 18 y/o, i'm 20)

if 2 grand is for a 6 month policy, then 15% of that is 300 upfront, then monthly payments of $340 for the next 5 months for insurance?!?!? damn, it's no wonder there aren't a lot of young riders....

Any new/young riders thinking of starting out on fast (i.e., rocket ships on 2 wheels).......don't. It's like anything else...you aren't gonna learn how to drive with a 700WHP Viper, so why would you learn on something with two wheels that has a fairly similar power/weight ratio and can kill you much more easily?

Currently I'm riding a modded, mean, green ZX6, I'll probably sell it next season.

Before I bought my first bike, I was already married, so at first, my wife was not too happy about the thought of me and a bike but once I took a driving course she was all cool about it.

When my parents found out I had a bike (about a half year later) my Mom was pissed but not as pissed as when I got my first tat!

BTW, since this was not said yet in this post..................there are two types of bikes out there, the one that you already dropped or the one that you will drop................keep that in mind and invest in good riding gear!
