Very good point, Darla. We do have to let them go.

my son started racing his first motorcycle on the motorcross track at the age of 6

i am definitely envious of your son. i always wanted a dirt bike growing up. finally bought one when i was about 24 or so. there is definitely a huge learning curve if you start later in life (at least for motocross style of riding). wasnt fun for me at that point because i was wrecking and getting hurt almost everytime i rode.

i still have an eye for motorcycles though. right now my dream bike is a ducati sport/touring or a supersport bike. of course i like the simplicity of their "monster" line of bikes as well.

Yeah, I was disappointed that my comment there didn't attract more attention than it did. The only thing I can conclude is that apparently everyone agrees.

i didnt respond because i thought everyone knew that was true[

the good thing about starting on the race track is that is where he keeps his speed. he races sprint cars and hobby stocks now...even the horses he rides are faster than what i like

but he is sensible on the streets with his harley.

he was a good racer and had well over 200 first place trophies by the time he was 15 and several season champion jackets. it was fun and scary to watch him all at the same time. it is never something i would want to do but my ex (his dad) also motocrossed so must have been passed down thru the genes

2 concerns....

1. Anyone just joining the military will quickly realize that drinking at the pub will consume more money than they may first think.[:@] O my poor kidneys and liver how I use to punish them.

2. If he is buying a HD does he realize he will need two[

Most 19 year olds wouldn't have established enough of a credit history to buy something that expensive without a co-signer, so I would have been surprised if he hadn't needed one. I feel your pain, Billy ... I have one that's 35 going on 15.

>>Is every girl going to want to get on a bike for a date? <<

Not EVERY girl, for sure, but those who do, put out, and there is NOTHING more important than that to a 19 year old boy. []

*blinks hard*

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Some girls just like bikes, you know. Just because I thought it was cooler for my bf to show up on his Sportster than in his F150 didn't mean I put out. I liked both vehicles, just liked the Sporster a heck of a lot better. I'm assuming this was a joke. Yes? *worries for a moment*

P.S. If he does get one, tell him to lock it up but good. My dad got his stolen while it was on base in Washington state when he went home for a week. Never saw it again.

If you`re old and mature enough to buy a roadbike you should be mature enough to have established your own credit.
My boys are 31 and 28 and successful and I have never cosigned a loan. Cosigning may also add some liability exposure to you.
I hope this doesn`t offend anybody but why a sporty? In my local paper for the same money I can find used big twins that have probably bottomed out depreciation wise. Sporty`s have no resale. I`ve been buying and selling HD`s since the 70`s.

But you DID, didn't you? [

You can ALWAYS get a little from girls who ride motorcycles and from girls who smoke. And don't even get me started on ugly girls. [

Billy, please go back to the corner and study up on "nice" and PC posts.

I don't have any real advice for this dilema. My sons were always told, "not while you are living under my roof" but that wouldn't work for you. I wouldn't co-sign for something I'm opposed to tho......

Oh, and for what it's worth? A long ago boyfriend had a snazzy Trorino (sp) and a 1948 Indian. I much preferred the bike, but we did NOT have a sexual relationship. And I smoke too. Not sure on the ugly....that would be a personal preference I guess.
