Man! No words can describe how appreciative I am of your mature and understanding response!
I actually once thought about getting a dirtbike, but I thought there would be too many limitations and rules with it (You know, only on dirt, and it has to be dirt that dirtbikers can use in order for you to ride on it.), but if it helps me learn, I'm wiling to, and I already ABSOLUTELY can't wait to get on something, so I guess a dirtbike's o.k., since it's the only thing I can ride at my age. And I WILL follow your plan.
