Motorcycles

Motorcycles are dangerous. This is a known fact among everyone, even the people that ride them. I understand this fact and want to buy one. Yet my parents are pushing me away from the idea of buying one. I understand that they are afraid of what could happen to me if I get into an accident, yet that is a risk I am willing to take. This has been my stance for the last year or so. Recently I have changed it for two reasons. One, my parents are usually right about 99% of the things I argue with them about. And 2 is something my father told me the last time I was on vacation from college. He said that he was not willing to pay any of the loans he would incur if I get hurt in an accident. I see his point. It is not really my own life that i could possibly ruin, but my friends and family as well. Do I have the right to possibly put my families future on the line because I want to have fun? My parents do not think so. I agree with this and while I still want a motorcycle, I do not foresee myself buying one anytime soon.
