  1) i like riding bikes, only when you ride a bike you can feel freedom on the roads.
  
  2) you stand and wait for bus also will die what, cross the road at a junction also will die what, some sleep and still die, some die while exercising. so what do you plan to do? not wait for a bus at a bus stop? stop crossing roads? don't sleep? don't exercise?... when its time to go, its time to go, doesn't matter how you leave this world.

  just go for it lor.. u can reason out with them by telling them that car is too expensive...especially maintanence...
  then abt the 2nd one.. u can tell them that of cuz u dun wan to die la... u would ride safely.. if u wan to be more crude in words.. u can tell them that whether to die on roads, it's all depends on fate lor... some ppl even though they dun ride bike, they also kana accidents... e.g. the girl waiting at the bus stop and got knocked down by a car... all fated deh..

  Well, I've been through it. No matter what you do you can never convince them. Tell them to get you your very own car or you're gonna get a bike. If you're gotta a bike, take this advice from me,
  
  1) Accidents are called accidents because you never expected it to happen. If you expected it to happen and you still do it, then you're a fool!
  
  2) Try not to be a hero when you see a pretty girl whizzing pass you as a rider or pillion, if you must, do it smartly, be very very careful, cause if you do get into an accident in front of her, you'll be a bloody fool!
  
  3) Take precautions!

  1) Car nice to drive, but difficult to find parking.
  2) they havn't been riding before i guess. It's actually safe to ride motorcycle. 90% of the time fall down will be becasue of your own qiu qing, guai lan.

  i agree.. i find tat most ppl who dont ride think tat riding is a sure way to get killed.. when i ride my bike i think tat is probably the furthest thing from my mind.. of cos safety is another story.. i'm not afraid of bangin into ppl but terrified of ppl banging me.. so i tend to be quite paranoid while riding.. look out for traffic esp at junctions n behaviors of drivers.. if u think the car wants to be funny u better avoid it.

  of cos those who ride will say tat mah.. when im riding i also will say avoid this and that...safety here and there.... when buang tat time... also not my fault.. also lanlan...
  not to be a wet blanket or wat lah... as a rider myself i also noe tat riding is actually waiting for accident onli...(not ur fault.. mostly is others fault)
  its a matter of serious or light..... skin cover metal will always be a lose out point

  Dont need to tok much, just buy and secretly ride for 2 years. Then after u got ur class 2 already, tell them, I riden for 2 years, nothing gone wrong, and they will be convince u already grown up and know how to take care of ur own life.
  
  I taking my class 2 soon, but the cat already out of the bag.
  
  I am not forced to sell, but just that my personal target is to ride until I reach class 2, get license switch to a small car, then save up 30K cash for my class 2 sports bike first hand. Becos now my insurance for class 2 first hand sports bike is near 3K for 1st party, so not worth it getting the class2 bike now, so driving cars while I save up first.
