His Mother lives in the real world. Kids are told no on motorcycles most of the time. So when they turn 18 they go buy a 600 sport bike & with zero training & zero experience, & no license, the results are never good. And everyone telling them that 750-1000 CC are starter bikes. He's going to ride whether mom likes it or not, & she knows that. So we started with farm store mini-bikes, went to a 250 Honda Rebel. Got his permit at 14, done in Iowa, & followed the adults around for 2 years. Ride safety course as required to get a license. He is required by ME to wear a helmet, gloves, boots, & jacket. He likes the leather & full face anyway, so no issues. It's about all you can do.
