Not sure if you’re mention of the lawn mower was ironic (which is funny) or you are hinting at the fact that you have no experience driving a motor vehicle.
If it’s the latter, my personal belief is that it is much safer to learn about traffic safety while behind the wheel of a car before moving on to a motorcycle.
I’m not saying it can’t be done. But when it comes time for my son to want to get a street bike (and he will), it will come only after he has some solid car driving experience under his belt and I feel confident that he won’t be having to simultaneously learn about traffic patterns and behavior, and about handling a bike in traffic. This is despite the fact that he will have a couple years of offroad experience by that time.
