Default Government banned youth motorcycles and ATVs

The government just passed a bill that stopped the sale of all youth off road vehicles and their replacement parts because some of the parts (battery terminals, engine cases, brakes, etc) contain lead. Click on the link below to fill out and send a letter to US senators. This is some seriously messed up stuff guys.

How about we just ban everything. Stupid tree hugging "it's for the children" morons. HOW ABOUT YOU LET ME DECIDE WHAT'S GOOD FOR MY CHILD.

This crap pisses me off to no end.

No kidding, what kind of a kid would sit and suck on the battery terminals of a mini moto? I'm tired of Congress and all of the lobbyists telling us how we should live and what we can buy. Let alone the fact that Congress can't pull its $h!t together to do something right for the American public.

Red face Re: Government banned youth motorcycles and ATVs

This stuff needs to be thrown in the garbage and set on fire. Would have given a lot of heat to the homeless people that would've gone otherwise wasted in the shredders.

Congress doesn't know what is best for our children. Its not like they're going to be getting high on leaded gasoline (which hasn't been sold for years and years except on the farms!)

Sanosuke!

I wonder how come they haven't started metering how much junk food kids eat or how much time is wasted on video games instead of physical exercise? Oops, better keep my mouth shut b4 they install cameras in ppls homes doing so.

Government needs to keep out on isht like this.

That's probably because they are too hard. Try getting them to chew on the lead battery terminals - they are much softer, and therefore more enjoyable.

Hmmm....maybe thats what is wrong with me as a child my parents allowed me to chew on my dirtbike parts.

Unreal! I believe the government should be focussing on something slightly more important like our economy.

Please sign the petition guys. This affects a lot of people and and really pisses me of as I sell youth atv's and bikes, and I started riding and racing at the age of 3. I know that the big four are working on getting some stuff moving to have the law changed, but it's gonna take some time and signatures

I'd like to see the government take some responsibility for the economic downturn we are in. After all, Congress did pass legislation which reduced the oversight in the mortgage industry.

On another note, Congress is old and out of step with younger Americans. In Congress, old is in - Politics- msnbc.com With the average age of senators being 60 they still reminisce of the times they spent chewing lead paint chips and battery terminals.
