you should try a honda cb125, the bike i learned to ride on, and i carryed two people on it. it only cost $750(approx. 312.5 pounds) to buy with all the lights and gauges in working order. it hasn't ever broken down exept for a flat tyre(we decided to try it in the bush down south), and when someone put two stroke fuel into it.
they are a stable bike, easy to ride and reliable.

good luck on your test, god knows i'll need it

i gota move to new zeland with a licencing law like that, im prity sure i have to be 16 to get my learners.

i try to reduce crashes but they happen any way, last time i was down south i was riding a xt500 (1976) i crashed it because of the guy on the back, it was his first time on a bike; and i was riding a yz426 (2000) i crashed it because it had dodgy brakes, i was riding down a hill hit the brakes (which did nothing) when i was almost at the bottom, i went up the side of a dryed up river bed then up and over my friends head, it really sucked when i hit the ground

Japanese Bikes / how do i convince my parents?
« on: July 01, 2007, 10:56:39 PM »
i am a 14 year old boy living in W.A. i have had two motorbikes in the past (a dt175 and a yz80)
my mum never liked the idea of me having bikes in the first place and my dad followed suit. they said i wasn't allowed to buy another one after i sold the dt175, so my friend gave me a yz80 to get around that problem, but it wasn't the bike for me, it didn't start well and spat oil when it was running and smoked like a chimeny (it was modified for racing poorly) so after a while i sold it, but before i did i made my mum say i could get another bike, a four stroke, but now she says she never said that and that im not getting another motorbike until im seventeen.

for some reason she refuses to believe that i know how to ride even though i was taught how to ride by a man that had been riding for 45 years and counting.

she has allowed me to go down south riding before but the last time i came home from a trip i was limping from a crash and i think this is why she doesn't want me getting another bike.
has anybody ever been in this situation? and does anybody have any idea on how to convince her?

PLEASE HELP
