Default Tell parents or keep secret

Basically my parents know i bought my first bike like 2-3 months ago. TO make a long story short, they were worreid i was gonna crash, so i decided to sell it and they were really happy.

Recently i bought a 2nd bike with my own money , got it insured under their plan (my name), and registered in my name. Problem is that both my insurance AND title of ownership will be sent to their address while im living 50 minutes away.

Im sure i can pick up the insurance thing before they check the mail (usually comes 2-3 days later) but hte title thing is hard as expletive to guess when its gonna come. Im worried they might go crazy and take the title and rip it to shreds or some ****.

What should i do lol... one side i dont want my parents worrying and everything, other side they're gonna find out sooner or later

Im thinking about going to the DMV tmmw and getting an address change but i already did the transfer of title a few days ago.

Tell them. The truth is easier than trying to keep a story going.

Hardcore Asian parents, eh? You guys got plastic over all the furniture??

The way I see it, that is a childish game to play (on both parties). Be honest with them from the get-go. If you want to prove you are a responsible enough, then stay on two wheels. Parents like the ones we have just need some time to get used to the idea. You won't be able to convince them with sound arguments.

I wouldn't know. I doubt it. They'd probably make you wait in the long-*** lines to tell you no.

Show them that you're a responsible rider and you know the consequences if something is ever to happen. It's better to let them know than not to. They'll probably get mad at you but as time goes by they'll eventually start trusting you on the bike.

I did the same thing with my mom, I did everything to mpt tell her until thetitle showed up at her house. Since she hadn't supported me in years at that point she knew shed be wasting her breath if she were to tell me something. she still hasnt seen it, but she knows I have it since her BF sees it often.

You want them to think you're responsible enought to have a bike so do the responsible thing and tell them.

They took it pretty well. I told them before that if they treat me like a 10 year old and start yelling at me, i was gonna just hang up. Basically they just told me to stay off the highway and be really careful. They coudln't really say anything else cuz i blew my own money on it (like all of it from working the summer hahaa)

it must feel good to have that out of the way!

btw, my mom felt better about me riding when I showed her all my gear (jacket with armor, gloves, helmet, boots, etc.). she had given up on forbiddling me riding motorcycles by that point but her knowing that I took those precautions made her feel much better about it.

happy trails...
