I (14M) have been into dirtbikes for half of my life. I've been thinking about having one, and I really am excited about it. I understand that motorcycles are very dangerous and that these aren't toys, but I want to at least try it out, slowly and trying my best to be careful. But, there's a problem, I don't know how to ask my mom what does she think about that idea. I've been bringing some moto stuff and she said that it's too dangerous. I understand that.. but there must be a way to slowly make her more comfortable with it, like talking about safety and all priorities and all that. But how do I approach her, and when?

I (14 M) have been "invested" in motorcycles, specifically dirtbikes for a fairly long time. Sometimes I think about owning one, but whenever I bring up anything about motorcycles, my mom immediately says and possibly thinks it's too dangerous without even thinking about the cost, and I could only own one when I'm 18. I want to tell her that dirtbikes (if ridden with proper gear and.. well, ridden on the perfect bike for your skill level) are fairly safe, but gotta know a way without her immediately putting down the conversation. She was basically always against motorcycles no matter the type. Any tips?

Do ya'll got any gear recommendations? Like, also you can tell me if normal, dirtbike boots are really that uncomfortable after riding for a longer time and if hinged boots have a noticeable difference, and other things about other gear. My price range is from 500 dollars to 600 (for helmet, goggles, boots, knee guards, gloves). My height is 174 cm/5'8 ft and my weight is 61 kg or 134 pounds.

Any advice is appreciated.

I have never ridden a dirtbike, or any sort of motorcycles, but I have much experience riding bicycles. I'm looking to start riding on dirtbikes, and i don't know which one to choose; a 250, 140 or 125. Help me choose! (I'm 173 cm or 5'8 ft tall and 61 kg or 134 lbs)

I'm a kid who recently got into dirtbiking, and found the suzuki drz125l. Since I'm 173 cm or 5'8" ft tall, the L version with bigger wheels would suit me, I think. What do ya'll think about that decision? (fyi I have many years of experience on riding bicycles, but never rode a dirtbike or motorcycles in general)

I have recently started looking on dirtbikes (especially enduro) and I think it would be really, really fun, and since I know that my mom doesn't like when I sit at home and experience boredom and also that she doesn't like dangerous things, I'm scared to tell her about it (I just don't know how to tell her that without her starting about school to make me distracted, even tho she's proud from my grades and how I learn generally). Also started a car detailing business with my buddy, we already had a few clients to make mom EVEN prouder. I'm not stating that she needs to buy it with her own money, I want to help her to earn for it (with the mentioned business). Also lost in terms of what first bike I should get because there's so many of 'em (and btw I'm somewhere between 10 to 18 yrs old and I'm 173 cm or 5'8 ft tall)
