Yeah I'm 19 & living at home until the military takes me (still working on waivers & such). I know I'll have a bike one day. But I'm in a bad way with money right now & every financial aspect of having a motorcycle makes since. $100/year insurance compared with $1500/year for the truck. 60mpg to 20mpg. Maintenance costs are about the same yearly. When I told my mom about it I asked if it was going to create serious problems with us & she said she had to think about it, so knowing her, that probably means she doesn't like it & we'll have a long talk about drugs, alcohol, & safe driving..but in the end she'll let me make my own decision. It's just one of those things where you get something in your head & you know you aren't gonna be able to stop thinking about it until you do it.
