It's an uphill battle. Fortunately, I took the MSC WITH my parents, and then they got 2 bikes on which I rode until I got my first bike at 17. That being said, I didn't immediately tell them about my F4i.
I could tell you to tell them that "it makes you a more alert driver overall" and to reference the stats, but it is not going to help. I'd be worried sick about my son/daughter if he/she was out on their own riding a motorcycle.
My best advice is to just ride very carefully and let your own stats speak for themselves. 2 years go by, 10000 miles, and no accidents, it will help a little (but not much).
I guess it's just going to be one of those things. Sorry...
