So if kids cant ride motocross, what about riding in cars

Edited Date/Time 1/20/2012 12:36am
Heres one for ya. They said that kids under 12 can not ride a motocross bike as there is lead in the frame. What is next? Kids can no longer ride in a vehicle as they have lead in them also. Give me a break. Since when it is ok to tell someone what our children can do. These law pushers need to get a life.

What about the "green" battery cars with the batteries under the back seat?? Now kids have to ride in the front??

It is just stupid. Give kids & parents some credit. Kids are not that stupid to chew or lick on the frame and parents are not stupid to let them.

dl117: really, they are the ones that said it is not safe for kids to be in front.

The law does not say kids can't ride.

Where did it ever say that?

Well think about it. If you cant buy the bikes the kids cant ride. Correct.

Cars (all motor vehicles, which means vehicles licensed for road use) are exempted from the CPSIA. Even though they have lead-containing parts.

No!

They can only not purchase year 2009 models or any older models still on showroom floors.

If/when OEM's comply, then those models will be legal for sale.

Any models presently owned by the consumer can be used by the consumer.
They did not make the use of these vehicles illegal.

Stop trying to make an already bad situation worse

Because they are not intended for use and sale to kids 12 and under


12 yr old kids don't own and drive cars

As posted under topic "More Bad News"word for word what was said by a promoter:

Because the manufacturers are now issuing these guidlines: we as promoters cannot allow a youth UNDER the age of 13 to participate for 2 reasons:
We are allowing someone to participate in a sactioned activity on a vehicle that has been determined by the manufacturer and the CPSC to be unsafe for that age level.
We are allowing someone to participate in a sactioned activity on a vehicle that the CPSC has determined is a toxic substance.
Also, consider the following as stated in same post:
MX Sports is considering removing youth classes from the Loretta Lynns program, GNCC, and ATV Nationals..
The AMA will be forced to ban youth riders under 13 from any AMA Amateur or pro competition due to legal ramification. The same will apply to local district and sactioning bodies .

Now, If That is not saying some kids cant ride. What does. Like the gentleman states. The youth classes make up 1/3 of the classes.

That's fine as long as they don't need parts. My dealer said the only parts he can sell for them are tires. I don't think the dealer has any guidance on how long that will be in effect. I'm only going on what he told me his situation is.

Actually, even though it's true that 12 year olds don't drive, they specifically wrote a section exempting motor vehicles as defined by the law (which means licenseable vehicles) from the CPSIA.

What about, go karts, basketball goals, hockey gear, football helmets/pads, pens and pencils for school, bicycles, badminton, tennis rackets/balls/and the cans they come in? Is there another industry out there that's flipping out over this Act?

That makes no sense

I think there's a lot of overreaction going on in order to spur action

12 year old kids dont "Own" motorcycles either.

Riding and cruising in a car you don't own, is somehow safer than your parents owning and driving?

What if the kid decided to lick the battery post? Kids lick 9 volt batts all the time.

This whole rule is totally ridiculous. TEL is absorbed through the skin. We washed filters in leaded race fuel for years. No one died. No one got sick.

Maybe we should have ate more CR 80 frame paint?

The Government doesn't want Kid's riding little ATV's they are Dangerous. We are just to stupid to know how to raise our KIds safely. That is why they passed the child seat belt law, and maniditory vacinations, and public schools , and...

I probably can't use the seatbelt as the buckle may contain too much lead

Oh, and my little ones can't use that famous number 2 pencil at school anymore.

Had to park the kids PW50 cause of this new law, but no worries here.
I got Jr riding the 450 now. He is gonna have a huge power to weight ratio advantage considering he's only 6 and weighs 40pds. Hey the kids gotta have something to ride.

I cannot believe that such lunacy has progressed so far in the legal system. I hope this gets sorted quickly.

Dave, I don't think parents with these bikes can resale them either.

I know I can't sell a used klx110 as of now.

Unless something has changed..
