So my 18 year old wants to get a motorcycle license..

As a parent, if you tell a kid they can't do something, they will do it just to spite you.

Valid. I'm hoping that I will be able to present it in such a manner that they will respect my wishes.

why?

Currently they are nine and 14. No real worries out of the 14 year old, the nine year old, different story. By the time he is of age I can't really project the numbers of vehicles clogging our roads, nor can I predict how much further this school system will have brought down the collective IQ of the inhabitants of those vehicles. I honestly don't have faith that people will be able to pilot the damned things, much less watch out for those on only two wheels.

In a nutshell, people are idiots, they will be far worse by then, and I love my boys and want to lessen any odds of losing them in any way that I can...

Exactly. That's why we don't recover a large number of stolen motorcycles.

We can't chase them, and we can't read a plate, so it just stays stolen.

They will never learn that what helps them stay anonymous also helps the thieves keep stolen bikes.

So does that mean I can shoot someone trying to steal mine since they have a low recovery rate j/k it's easier just to leave my plate where it is and not speed then I don't have to run.

I think its actually required now.

It is.
