Alphado, if you're an enthusiast it's YOUR fight too....Manufacturers will just stop sending the bikes to the US, and in 10 or 20 years we'll all feel the impact....Just my 2 cents.
I can use it as an excuse as to why we don't ride anymore, not that I can no longer afford to.

Yes we all did this before, and the manufacturers have been fighting, infact there was the CPSEA in 2010 drafted by Waxman that would give flexibility, but it wasn't finalized before the end of session.
We need to keep the issue in our representative's minds so that they know it is 'our' issue and not just a money hungry organization's agenda to make more money.
KTM, Cobra and any other mini-racer manufacturer should be the ones fighting it.
I get that this stuff isn't fun or sexy, and maybe you don't feel the need to help. But feeling the need for public displays of apathy? I'd bet that some of the same people would be first in line to complain if the ban gets reinstated.
Now we have $3,000+ peewees and people wonder why the industry is taking a shit. For every kid that has the parents who can afford 5k for them to START racing peewee there are 10,000 kids who parents say fuck that. Those kids are lost for life in this sport.
In my opinion competative, organized racing should be reserved for adults who have disposable income to participate.
I will vote FOR the lead law to protect our sport. Sorry. And thanks for the reminder.
I can see good arguments on both sides, but besides a financial benefit to the manufacturers / tracks / accessory companies and the benefit that America could lose its grip on world dominance in the sport of motocross because the next Johnny O'hannah won't be able to start racing until he is 14 - I tend to side with Mstock - but only a little unless someone else can give some better reasons.

Is Lead Law J-Law's long-lost brother?
The Japanese understand this but americans can't seem to grasp the concept. The big four don't give two shits about the USA lead law. They want it, and for good reason.
Of course nobody is concerned about "lead poisoning". That is just a farce to make greater change under the guise of a "law".
I was being sarcastic here. I really don't want my kid driving before 16, and I don't want my kid smoking before 18 or drinking before 21... good laws that were put in effect for lots of reasons.
It's a Jersey thing anyway.
Since they were your own words I thought that when you said the word "I" I thought you meant yourself.
My bad.
LMAO
How that affects everyone in the sport is that all parts, accessories and riding gear that is intended for the under 13 crowd will have to be tested/certified. They won't pass all of the cost on to the mini-riders....everyone's prices will go up.
so while you might not be a fan of mini riders - it will still affect you
What else you got?
