I can hardly believe it!! :eek:

Youth dirtbikes and atv's are banned in the US!!!
This includes the sale of..by dealer or private party... and the sale of parts!!
Apparently because the metal in the engines contain too many "parts per million" of lead.
Certainly wouldn't want any children hurt by eating their dirtbike engines.

Talk about Government regulations spinning out of control..
America has finally gone totally fricking crazy!!!!!!

It's all true ....read more here:

No, is very true.
Had pics of the local dealers on the news with "Not for Sale" signs on the smaller bikes.

For 'the land of the free' you aren't very free really, are you.

I don't think that even the mmiserable bunch we have here as a government woudl go that far.

If you lived on my estate you'd celebrate. Poxy things are all over the place buzzing around at all hours of the day and night.
