OMG what a world!

It was announced by the AMA a few days ago they will be fighting legislation on the banning of ALL youth motorcycles,ATV,ect. (below 90cc),clothing and accessories because of the concern that these products contain more lead in the products that are currently allowed for consumer safe levels.

The AMA says it would cripple the family sport of youth racing and recreation.

We have two dirt bikes and an ATV. I don't like the sound of this.
Doesn't really surprise me though. Seems like the guvment is always trying to protect us from ourselves (legislate our lives for us ) some way or another. My youngest is old enough that this doesn't affect us now. If passed it could affect my grandchildren.

We had a kid killed on an ATV here last fall, 10 or 11 years old if I recall right. OF COURSE its very sad. but scaryest part was nearly 1/3 of the people writing into the comments of the paper. Wanted the parents charged with child endangerment and manslaughter for letting the kid ride.
Someone pointed out how many more kids are backed over by cars. Most of the hang-em high people said "But we need cars, we do not need ATVs"
I pointed out that even more kids are severly injured playing football and we don't NEED football. Good lord that gottem riled up.
One way or another God takes people when HE wants them. not when we choose.

I've been riding bikes since age 5 and I can tell you that some of the best memories of my youth were motorcycle related.

Let's hope we can stop this !

I have a couple of boats for him if he ever shows any interest in anything other than girls, motorcycles, baseball, duck hunting, and fishing....
