Hello from California.
Hello guys! I am a new person to this forum obviously. I have joined to learned as much about motorcycles (specifically ninjas) as I can. Currently I have no motorcycle and I have no idea when I will be getting one. Reason being is that I am only 16 and am having trouble convincing my parents. I really need help in convincing them. It is understandable that it is dangerous but I am willing to take the risk.

I'd suggest a full year of driving before getting a motorcycle just to know how other drivers operate. Once you understand this, the scope of biking will be more clear.
Operating a motorcycle in California is a death sentence without properly knowing how others will drive. Get a bike when you are 18 bro, and for the next two years, ride around in a Used Honda Civic or something. |

If I had to choose between motorcycling and sex, I would choose sex on a motorcycle

Welcome! I would get a used stick shift and just drive that around. I was driving at the age of 15 and just recently started wanting a bike. You could always convince them to get a permit if you want. Even at my age now I probably would not tell my mother I have a bike lol, they will never agree.

Welcome to the forums... as mentioned we have a great group in the SoCal area (I know it says I'm in Afghanistan but I'm from Oceanside) even if you don't have a bike you can go to a get together and check out bikes and ask questions and what not... I won't be back till later in the year, but I look forward to meeting up with you at some point!

Thanks guys! That sounds good for me to go to a meetup without actually owning a motorcycle. And this kid at my school has a ninja but he is selling it because he has a cruiser that is 1300cc and he wants a green bike. I want to buy it so bad but I don't know how I can afford it!

Take everything in steps. Start with an MSF course. And if you're really going to get a bike, consider all the things you will need to buy, like gear (price will add up quick), the bike, insurance is a big thing too and also the MSF class, DMV fees (like registration and permit fees, blah blah blah).
