Interesting Situation

[Anonymous]

My parents said NO WAY. When I was 14 I bought a moped. They said NO WAY. I got my moped permit on my 15th birthday (earliest I could) they said fine, you'll never be allowed a MC. When I turned 17 my brother was in financial trouble. I bought his bike without ever talking to my parents (they didn't know he had one) I brought it home they said NO WAY. I got my permit 2 weeks later (had to get it runnin) they said NOT UNTIL YOU MOVE OUT. I'm 20 now, have a full endorsement, ride like a bat out of hell and, on top of that, we got my dad a bike for fathers day and he rides regularily. Threaten to move out and the song changes... assuming you're a kid they want around

I started on a moped a Mobylette Mobymatic when I was 13 back in the 60's. They way I got my dad to go for it was that I needed it to get to and from my job after school. In the next few of years it was a Riverside 55 Yamaha, then a Campus 60, then an 80, and then a Yamaha Bonanza 180.

Iwas off and running and have been ever since.
