Answer 2

The ideas about trading good grades, good attendance etc. for a bike are good -if you have good grades....
Explain to your parents that you want to get a bike license when you turn 18, and that the training you get now on a motocross bike will help and also keep you safer when you do get the license as you know how to handle the bike and can concentrate on the traffic around you rather than the bike.
I started to ride road bikes 10 years ago and have the last 4 years been riding enduro and motocross, in my opinion no-one should be allowed on the road unless they have at least one year of experience on a dirt bike, this as the bike skills you get riding in terrain are far more advance than the ones you get only riding on the road and you can react correctly and quickly if things go wrong.

Sorry to inject a little reality into your situation, but I doubt you'll be able to convince your parents. In that case you'll just have to wait until you're 18. At 13, five years seems like eternity. Take it from someone who was 13... 27 years ago... it's not that long of a wait.

In the meantime you can still remain interested in MX. There are plenty of magazines to read out there. Just remember to separate the fluff from actual technical information. Buy a mountainbike and ride it often. Other than not having a motor, many of the skills used in off-road bicycling transfer over to off-road motorcycling.

Off-road motorcycling, including MX is very expensive. After purchasing the bike you'll need the proper safety equipment. Then there's track time. Legal places to ride are not free. Add to that the cost of routine maintenance and repairs. If you do plan on competing, you've got travel expenses, entry fees and organizations that require annual membership fees.

I race enduros. I prefer tham over MX because I get to ride for 5+ hours as opposed to doing a moto for 15-20 minutes then sitting around for 2+ hours waiting for the next moto. I usually spend ~$100/race. Add in another $85/year for AMA and NETRA membership. Then I've got my club membership of $50/year so I can have a place to practice. Just last week I spent over $200 for new suspension bearings, brake pads and brake pins. That was just for the parts as I did the labor myself. This week I'll probably spend another $150 to have my front forks serviced and change out the steering head bearings.

As you can see, racing isn't cheap.

Answer 4

Here are some random ideas:

1. Please, Mom, I want the the Honda CR125, Louis Vuitton edition.
2. Don't you realize mad MX skills are all the rage on the Riviera this year?
3. Motorcross? Of course not! It's how EVERYONE fox hunts these days!
4. Dad, competitive racing builds transferable skills to succeed in the cutthroat world of finance and arbitrage.

Answer 5

just ask politely and keep up your grades..etc....they're too posh? dirt bikes and motocross is an expensive sport and you find the nicest people in dirt biking.

Answer 6

Ask for a VERY expensive sports car when they refuse then ask for the bike if they buy you the Sports car then trade it for a bike
