Considering bailing early...

Knock off that full coverage and you're sitting pretty with a couple years experience under your belt. Hell I think I get 25% off for my classes, and statistically should be more to be fair.

insurance too high???? !!!!! WHAT!? I guarantee you you've never paid less insurance on a garaged pedal car than I do on my bike. Wife and I together is 150ish a year.. like 75 dollars a half. 2 bikes and riders.
Put full coverage on a bike that gets totaled when tipped in a parking lot and yea, its a grand or 2. Stay away from fairings and its less than 200. I mean hell, I bought an xb9sx (naked) the only bike in progressive's book was an xb9r (faired). they wanted 2500 for 6 months, called a geico that had the 9sx listed. $250.. new with collision.

And as for carrying things, I assume you mean large things every day. I have some like 30 litres or more of panniers for carrying my things. But the biggest things I've carried are my golf clubs and a sheet rock square. 55 mpg with my idle screw backed out to knock out some engine popping on deceleration. Wife gets about 110mpg. INSANE! *crf 230. When I ride it it gets about 85. And yes a crf 230 WILL pull me down the road at 70 mph. Though It probably severely limits its life.
It does a 0-60 with me (200lbs at least with gear) on it in about 8 seconds. Better than my scion. Not quite as fast as my truck. But 0-45 is probably a bit faster. I mean really.. 110. How can you beat that?

I'm 19, and yeah. Insurance is high regardless what I drive, and at my age, and I highly doubt a motorcycle will be cheap. As for carrying things I guarantee I can not carry the 6 boxes and dolly I need to have for work. Also, in Houston, the weather will always change randomly.
