yeah, i've been through it all. here's what i did. I saved up enough for my own place, got some roomates, moved into the excellence (around usf), sold my stealth, and had everything I wanted. I was 19 at the time, my parents eventually found out when they had to pick me up in the hospital after i ruptured my spleen on faulkenburg doing ninety into the dead end side... ( i know i know i know). In my defense i didn't see the dead end sign at all because it was so shot up with shot gun holes and stuff. that was a while ago and I finally got up the money again to buy another bike so now i'm rolling on a 04 636. I'm a lot safer now. although preoccupied with wheelies instead of high speed cornering. Long story short, my parents aren't disowning me or anything, they are mad but... whatever I like riding and my parents are boring as hell so you just gotta do what you want. and stay in school.
