Wow that is the most retarded thing I have ever heard. There goes people who don't ride legislating those that do. Stupid. There is big difference between a small toy a child could put in their mouth and lead on a dirt bike. Come on people.

so far only seems to directly affect quads and bikes at 50cc or under, as it's targeted at kids under 12. However, several places are now putting disclaimer stickers on the 50+ cc up to 110cc as not suitable for kids under 12. There seems to be some confusion on the exact cutoff size, as that video seems to say everything 110cc and under.

Pretty stupid law. It was aimed at childrens toys from China (that's a good thing) but was written so broadly that the quads and small dirt bikes got lumped in also. As it stands they cannot be sold, cannot sell parts for them, and the lawmakers expect the dealers to destroy all of them that fit in this category (like that won't put many of them under). No buy-back, nothing, so sorry...............

The goverment is doing a piss poor job tieing there shoes. Folks can decide whether they want to chance there kid riding an ATV or Motorcycle. If they are dumb enough to let them do it without a helmet, so be it. We don't need anymore laws, it's a waste of time. Let's concentrate on the real issues.

There's a ton of channels for signing petitions to fix this mess. Just go to transworldmx.com or racerxill.com and they have links to follow. Also if you google "Let Kids Ride", hundreds of links will pop up.

My kid WILL have a new PW 50 on his next birthday. I've been looking forward to sharing motocross with my kids my entire adult life. We'll beat this.

There is an update on this that came out a few days ago. All inventory and bikes can be put back on the floors for 1 year.

All these manufacturers are going to have to rethink the ppm of lead contained, because they are going to place restrictions. At least they are not cutting it off for good. The more research and studies involved the higher the cost to the general public.

It's much better for america's kids to stay in the house playing on video games based on death & violence & destruction causing them to get fat, become a diabetic in their teens and later become a burden to society.

Anyone remember the "Presidents Plan for Physical Fitness" in the 70's.
All the students had to do the calesthenics for time etc. Now many schools
don't even have PE at all. "I don't want my child to go through the humiliation that I did" It's the American coalition of uncoordinated goobers
picked last for the team" Where is Lou Dobbs?
