Did The Shield turn face?
bmx and street bikes are non-comparable so get that outta yer head right now. sorry, i dont belive u got hit at 30 mph. if u actually did, u wouldnt be alive to tell about it. u are in for a rude awakening. wait till u start shopping around for manditory insurance. if u are thinking sport bike, u are in for sticker shock hardcore. do u have a job to afford the insurance? mention sport bike to an agent, and he is gonna crucify u. dont bother with a new bike. u wont be able to afford the payments and the full coverage insurance either.
Lot's of good advice here. One other way is to get a dirtbike and learn how to handle, balance, manuever, brake, clutch, shift, gas, etc. where there are no cars. The skills you learn here will really pay off when you then go to the MSF course. If you buy a bike and jump out in the street you are in a rush. Be more carefull- ghost was right- you only slide into a car or guard rail once.
Clean with acetone, prime with Kilz spray and paint with Krylon Fusion. Works great!!
That may help you with requirements for a motorcycle licence. For a motorcycle, I would suggest starting with a used one. While you are learning to ride you will drop the bike a few times for sure. And dropping a new bike is a really sad thing. If you are riding an older, used bike it doesn't matter so much. A good beginner bike is the Kawi Ninja 250. Up until the 2008 model they were all the same since 1988. This means there are a lot of used ones floating around, and parts are readily available. If you are mechanically inclined, this little bike is easy to work on. As for riding, this little Ninja is very forgiving to a beginner. It's one of the best learner bikes I've come across. And it's not a weakling either. My son (who is also 15) has one and zips right along on the freeway with me. After you have ridden the little Ninja for a while, you for sure will want to get a bigger bike. And, if you have bought a used bike, you can get the majority of what you spent back when you sell it to get a newer, bigger bike. For maintenance you should obtain a service manual for your bike. It will tell you when to do periodic maintenance, how to do it, and what tools and parts will be required. The service manual will also guide you should you need to perform repairs.
