whats next?

unbeliveble.

I was in Borders Books the other day, and saw a book based around what would the founding fathers say to todays world,laws,taxs ect. I shoudl have bought it. Makes me think of this.

[.J u s t i n]

Read about that the other day.

If we are worried that kids are going to lick or eat their dirtbike or atv we really need to reevaluate our sanity.

[skeebs]

I heard something of this before, but was misinformed. I was lead to believe the ban was on powerwheels & such.

My Letter has just been sent to help stop this stupid BS ban. This world really has taken a sad turn, that some A HOLES would think a child rider would look at his OHV as a got dam happy meal..... I mean WTF! This world makes me EFFING sick some times. I'm goin to bed.

[JeepSteeler]

We are doomed.

[Dragonslayer]

are they f#@$^$g serious????? They actually believe that kids are licking and chewing on ATV's???? OMG

[DMG]

That is lame. Look for that to be the next end-run around the 2nd Amandment, too.

[Cebby]

That is ridiculous. Seems like some cockamamie BS to keep everyone's attention while BO is doing other shady stuff. First 30 days in office tells the tale. So far, no good.

[Wrecker]

If you dont like mini bikes then go after them for CO or make them put roll bars on them But lead poisoning? Come on, is that what we are up against?

[abrzrkr]

Is this some thing he did?

[Dyno Doug]

I'm pretty sure this was an end of term deal by bush. If I remember right, it was done on August 20, 2008. Check the AMA website for more info.

[highlandercj-7]

done

[skeebs]

What I want to see is the comparison of lead poisoning cases from China made toys vs. children munching on their OHV's!

freaken government is a bunch of cock bags

[fast250r]

Good thing I bought my son his quad last summer. This ban is the most retarded thing I have ever herd of.

[skeebs]

Boy, I'm still wound up tight about this one. It's no mini bike or anything, but it as you can see the 'smart' kids don't wanna eat their toys, the want to do stunts on them. This is my 20 month old daughter.Now believe me; like any other kid she wants to taste everything, but I have yet once caught her nibblin on her quad.

[Fourx4sr4me]

I heard that you can't even get parts for these mini bikes or quads. The only oneselling parts is KTM for now.

Amazing how people will believe the crap they read w/o checking the sources. I was just at a local ATV dealership and they never even heard of this article....total BS.

Hey if this isn't real then somebody should tell Kawasaki to change their web sight!!

I'm sorry but this is retarded.

"The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008, intending to monitor and limit lead content in accessible parts and components in children’s products, took effect Feb. 10, 2009.

As written, this new law includes thousands of products that may never expose children to harmful amounts of lead. Unfortunately, some youth model off-road motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles currently fall into this category. The Kawasaki KX™65 is one of those products.

Industry associations are working to obtain clarification of the Act or its implementing regulations which would permit us to resume selling these youth models. For now, Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A. regrets that our dealers cannot sell the affected products starting February 10, 2009.

Comments regarding this regulation should be addressed to your congressional representatives in Washington, D.C. To view the latest information regarding this regulation, visit: http://www.cpsc.gov/about/cpsia/cpsia.html"

What a bunch of malarkey.

[Madmax22]

all this because walmart and other giants outsource to china for cheap lead painted toys so our great government passes a law putting everything that any kid might touch into the same category.
We have a family business of selling products for Handicapped children and adults, all of which are made in the US or the UK and we are at their mercy with this new law. It is impossible to have every product tested as it is an outrageous amount of money to do so..... gota love our gov't, DONT impose rules on CHINESE garbage, make it hurt the american people
