[QUOTE="Sun, post: 70169, member: 143"] Well if Mom is behind you on this and can help fund, OR you can find sponsors why not? Just keep in mind pavement is pretty dang hard and I wouldnt do it without a full leather suit. Your Mom sounds really cool! I'd die to have a Mom who rode. Mine never even rode a damn bicycle. Barely would go in the ocean with me and never got on a horse with me:cry: Personally, I think you should start riding SuperMoto.
