Okay people, seriously, he's obviously gone completely mad and turned into a hooligan. I'm willing to bet he's out riding the streets in full squid mode!

I am getting that feeling as well. I don't think he got the bike and now is depressed. Poor guy.

If he got a dirt bike today, I can almost guarantee he would have posted up a pic by now.



EDIT: I just saw in the Picture Game thread he said he is getting the bike tomorrow. So who knows whats up with him.

Also, I'm so touched that you guys care so much about me...I actually got let down several times today lol here's the story:

I wake up today, no school. I just say "I have to go to DDS Motorsports!"
So, I am super happy, pumped waiting to go! So, then, I find out, my dad has to get picked up from work early. My heart just sinks Then, I say, let's bring dad haha It didn't turn out well. My dad starts yelling how bikes are dangerous and that I can't have one, so I'm wasting my time going there.

We get there, I go inside, very sad. I walk around, convince my brother that he should start on the 250 (yes, he's getting a 250 before I am and he didn't even want to ride till yesterday !!! ). I go and sit on the KLX. PERFECT fit. It felt so nice. Like a glove...

I was so sad that I would never have any bike. I started thinking of ways that I could blow all my money. Then, my dad comes in. He walks over, looks at me, and says "that it?" (Except everything he said was in russian xD) and I'm like yeah...dealer walks over, and starts spoon feeding my dad stupid stuff, like, it's a KLX140L, I'm like no sh*t sherlock lol I start telling my dad everything about the bike. Then he realizes I'm not joking about this either (apparently my parents don't take me seriously).

He says I won't be able to afford it. I'm like, yeah, I will! I work at McDonalds (sounds dumb but I make more then enough lol)!! So, he thinks I'm being stubborn, and decides to go get a calculation of how much it would cost to prove his point. Calculation comes back while I'm trying on helmets. Found the one I have above $300 dollars a month. Coming to a total of $7000 something. I was like, "There's no way you did that right!". I could get a 650 for that lol

So, depressed, sad, and feeling like crap, we leave. Then, some old comes running out, as we're stepping in our new car, ready to leave. Completely out of breath after running 30 feet (so sad and funny at same time lol). He says, she calculated it wrong. It's actually $70 lol I'm like, no way! I win! My dad was wrong xD !! So, we go inside, and he's impressed for some reason, has a change of heart, and we buy the bike! I have no pictures, because they rolled the bike away right as soon as the forms were done. Then someone random dude comes up in a GSXR-1000, and I say, nice bike. That's the 1000 right? He says no, it's the 600. I just say okay lol

I went home and checked, it was an one thousand. You know you shouldn't be riding when you don't even know what bike you're riding lmao!

Pictures come soon

Helped you out there buddy before the Ninjette's had you head. That's a sweet bike. I've read a couple of your threads since I've been back on the forum, and that's awesome your parents allowed you to get a dirtbike! I wasn't allowed to have dirt bikes or quads or anything fun! I'm jealous, but I got my Ninja when I was 22, so be patient. Ride the hell out of it and maybe when your 18 take the MSF course and then press the issue again. You didn't hear it from me, but eventually you get old enough to do what you want!

Ride safe...and I want a dirt bike now! And don't listen to Alex, kawi green is the best and fastest color!

If I can find a way to get it! Just got news that our transportation plans for the bike isn't possible, as our uncle no longer has the trailer. I guess I'll probably need it to get shipped.

No I just changed the word ship to deliver. Call the dealership and talk to them, most will be happy to deliver free of charge. You can't ride a dirt bike out obviously, but mostly dealerships will want you to feel comfortable and safe, so they will do it without question or issue.

I find it sad that parents can be so negative about bikes to kids. my dad got me my first bike when I was 5 yrs old. he wouldn't let me get a street bike until i turned 18 which was a good idea IMHO most 16 yr olds can't handle the responsibility of a street bike but at the time I was sure I could! lol

You won't understand until your a parent...

Parents have a pretty good understanding of what their children are capable of doing. Honestly from some of the post I've seen Nick make.... I would have to question whether or not he was ready for such a responsibility too.

I am 42 now and I have 2 girls age 5 and 3 so I am a parent and if my daughters want to ride bikes I will get them one, though I really doubt the older will she is a princess and a scardy cat. they youngest is a bull in china shop with no fear so it would scare me to get her one but I would teach her and let her do it. I will not ride them on the street until they are atleast 10 prob 12 because in todays would the roads are alot more dangerous than when I rode on back of my dads bike, more traffic and more assholes. I applaud nick for getting a dirt bike he will benefit greatly from riding one, and anyone whos first bike is a street bike at 16 is asking for trouble, you need that dirt education.

I just got my son one for his 4th birthday

Hey Nick, i got your back, dont feel bad, start on this KLX and move up to a a Ninja I'm 16 too and i bought my Ninja last November, main reason parents let me get it is number one, ive ridden dirtbikes all my life(definently helps) number two, gas is insanely high!!!

Have fun on the bike man, stay safe, and keep your hopes up for a street bike! Youll get it!

Anyone that buys a bike solely to save on fuel cost is a moron... Just saying

It's never cost affective.

It is very cost effective in my case. Ive got my own lawn care business so ive got to have a truck to haul everything around in. And that truck gets 11mpg. Tops. Driving 30-40 miles a day with a 11mpg truck is kind of expensive IMO. I figured out in one of the threads floating around here that i save $2000 a year in gas by driving my bike. I bought it for $2000, so in 2 years ill be saving money. You have no clue how much ive saved already...

But i also got it because ive always wanted one, and i had the ability to get one, so i did

Not bad but you still have a lot more factoring to do. Insurance, maintenance, annual registration, and you still have the cost of fuel for the bike.

Cost of gear, farkels, bolt ons, add ons and such should also be included.

Some more calculating is due sir.
