im a bit worried about getting him one now its getting nearer the time, i know how wreckless i was when i was 16 on a moped. but it was my idea so he could get to college and home when he starts and i dont like him walking home from his mate late at night, very worrying being a parent  i know but cant help thinking hes not mature enough to have one.

eeeek! Bet you cant wait till you have a couple of years NCB, and are a few years older!  ;D

I think I got off lightly - £609 Fully Comp with Direct Line (Im 21, with 2yrs NCB, and one 'cockup' on file!)

Thats gonna take him a few paper rounds to fund.....I remember it took me a whole year just to buy a Tv!

Unless your being soft and funding it all for him (mug!)  :y

yes i am funding it all, unless he decides he doesnt want one now, he wasnt too sure at first when i asked him about it. i may give him the option of putting it aside for when hes 17 so he can get a snall car. his mums not too happy about me getting it and said its gonna be my fault if he has an accident

If he had doubts, perhaps give it a miss...??
If it was my son, i would opt for the car...even though more expense...

Love bikes, but these days no....
