[QUOTE="charismaticmegafauna, post: 553813, member: 665"] In the (linked) video it says: "Children under 12 won't be allowed to race." I didn't see anything in the video that said anything about ages over 12. The video also said it was mainly bikes that were sourced from China. That seems like it would be easier to remedy -- get the Chinese to stop using lead based paint. On the face of it, under age 12 doesn't seem like a great handicap -- but, I admit to not having a child under 12 (things could be way more acute if one were actually, personally, involved?). I have seen parents take risks with their child's safety with small motorcycles -- and, I do think some parents see small ATVs as defacto baby-sitters. The "kids on dirt-bikes/ATVs" issue is part of a serious campaign (against) by do-gooders across the country -- and doesn't appear to be going away. The 'paint-issue' is just a place where they found a 'chink in the armor'. This latest, I fear, may just be 'the camel's nose under the tent'...? :unsure: [/QUOTE]
