I have about 10,000 miles road experience on a motorcycle. Many years dirt bike experience before that. I made all the really stupid learning mistakes on dirt with no other vehicles around. Good thing. I have lots of great memories from the road bike experience and a few choice memories of some mistakes. Not all that many people have run over their own foot with a motorcycle on the road and not dropped the bike.
What I have learned from that experience is that, for me, I would not be riding a motorcycle anywhere in Rhode Island.
Since that time, from many years ago, I think people are ingesting more lead from paint chips or water pipes. They are driving more retarded than ever.
I hope your parents will talk you into a less dangerous activity. Maybe a rattlesnake farm.
