Well...heres the short version...I was gonna get my bike first of next month or just shortly after that. It will be my first bike. Father is totally against me getting one says I get it I better have an apt to goto and not home. So the bind is move out and wait a little longer for the bike or just get the bike and see if he really means it. I didnt think he would but now im having my doubts. Im 20yrs old no reason I cant buy what I want with my money. I make plenty of money enough anyways but my parents and I were well I thought were rather close and was the deal that I could stay at home as long as needed they didnt care. Plus father has health issues so he enjoys me being home. So move out and wait and get a bike like I've been wanting for yrs and now finally make the money to afford it. Or say screw the bike and just deal with it cause thats life?

 

Plus anyone know of some nice apts in new tampa or plant city? Some place around moris bridge road area cause thats far enough away and same distance to work as I am now. Cause I work out in plant city. Thanks ahead lol...

 

Well, that's a tough call man. It depends on how bad you TRULY want that bike. If you think it's just a phase, I'd take a pass on the bike and just stay home.

If your hell bent on getting it, nothing is going to stop you, obviously, so your going to have to move out and then get the bike. But consider this before you move. If you have never been out on your own before, it's not easy at first. There will be lots of new things to you. Not to mention, a lot more bills. With your current budget and living situation, you might be able to afford it. Once you move out, your budget will change. Give it thought before you make that decision. That bike shouldn't be your #1 priority when you move out, there will be a lot more to consider then that...trust me!

Hope that helps.

 

Get a storage space and keep the bike there

 

Listen to dad... sounds like he both loves and needs you.
He has undoubtedly made sacrifices for you.

Maybe it's time to return the favor.

 

well, I dont want to sacrifice for the fact at what he doesnt like.

Its tough its an odd relationship we have. Its not a matter of where the bike is stored its having one period. He says they are unstable and he doesnt want to contribute to me having one. I make roughly 3200$ gross a month I can afford to move out and get one just will take a bit longer then what I want. He is calling it a phase of mine that I want it and that he thinks I go into phases. Like I tried hunting and firearms with my brother in law and well I took it in and enjoy it so he still wants to belive its a phase. He is never really wanted me to grow up and be me he wants me to be and live what he wants more or less. Just found out he had a friend die on a bike so im thinking thats what it is more or less but it doesnt change the fact I want one so im looking for apartments now we got into a fight more or less about it tonight. So he said I get it im gone I said ill just get gone so thats going to solve my bind I guess.

 

I was more saying hide the fact that you have a bike kind of a joke. But if you can afford to move out and that's what you really want then do it.

I lived with my parents until I was 20 also and looking back I they were right on pretty much everything they said. Sometimes it takes a little growing up to realize that and it sucks to admit but you may want to consider what your pops is telling you. GL with whatever you decide though!

 

Sometimes dads aren't the best communicators... but we usually mean well...
You are an adult... you will be expected to take responsibilty for your actions.
You are also his son... no matter what you do, you will always be his son and he will care for you accordingly.

Assuming you are going to get a motorcycle for riding on the street...
What actions are you taking to protect yourself?
MSF
Insurance
ATGATT
etc.

 

What sacrifice would you be willing to make?
Why?

 

full gear, no jeans really cause in reality they dont last long if you lay the bike down so a nice helm prolly gonna blow the $$ for a shoei, leathers, riding boots.
for weekend riding only for pleasure only. As I have my truck for hunting work ect.
MSF course im calling to setup the first date I can get in.
Insurance ya im gonna have it just basic no comprehensive(sp?) cause I was planning on still being at home and having the garage to use. But seeing as how that doesnt seem fit any longer im looking for an apt with a garage.
