If you wanna argue about gear, you STILL dont really have a case as the amount of money you save in gas will buy you decent gear in a few months. Especially coming from a truck. The kid hasnt put any farkles on, nor does he have too.
Hands down cheaper than his truck, and better than buying another car for gas reason.
Definitely not a moron to think that. I think the 16 year old is better at math than you.

I'm pretty sure this is a TOS violation but you sir are an idiot. We are not talking about selling his truck and buying a bike.... We are talking about adding additional cost and expenses on top of his current costs/expenses for the truck. Yes in did the costs for a bike are "cheaper" than an auto in most cases but in no way is it "cheaper" to own 2 vehicles vs. 1 just to save on fuel. Or at least is not for any short term goals. It will take years to save enough on fuel (unless your drive a Dodge Viper) to regain the monies lost in the ownership expenses for a bike.
Someone.... needs to go back to school. Are you 16 too?
