Should I ?????....To all my bike owners

[Blackbob]

So I was talking with a friend today at school about bikes. Her X has one and she was asking me about how to get her license and driving a bike,etc... Well in the process of helping her out. It reminded me of my dad when I was younger. My dad use to race bikes down at the track locally for a guy out in Winstonsalem,NC named Norman(when my mom first met him). Norman owned his own bike shop and after my dad retired he still took me and brother down to the track just about everyweekend for the bike runs and all. And then a few years(might have even been months) later my parents devorced. Now I haven't really talked to my dad since and all. I don't like talking about him and whenever I do it brings up old memories of you know the track and all. So I decided to get my bike license and possibly a bike before the summers out. It would be a weekend thing at first. Due to florida drivers and all. My mom is kinda against it ONLY because of florida drivers. But what I want is to get the license just for my self. It was always a goal of mine to do before highschool was out. So I figured it can't hurt. But what I wanna know is what you guys think bike owners and non-bike owners. What do you think, should do it ?, or is this just old feeling I should just blow off ? The more I think about it the more I want to but I just want another opion. I stopped by this local shop near me and talked to the guy there and realized this:

The Good:
I can afford it
Cheap way to go fast
good on gas
Girls dig'em
CHEAP
NEW(if I get a new one)
Makes me remember the good times

THE BAd:
Florida drivers
insurance(A must if it's new)
mom is for now AGAINST IT !
Parking
Chances of it getting stolen are REALLY high !


I don't know what to do......

why is parking on the bad side. The only thing bad about florida and bikes is the sand. It will eat away at the things. i think you got cheap in the wrong catagory as well;).

if you want one i would go for it. you will need insurance no matter what. If its new you will have to have full coverage unless you pay for it all at once. that gets expensive if youve never ridden before depending on the bike. none of us are going to be able to tell you what to do.
