First off dolt, the ban has nothing to do with the type of engine,
although I a sure the greenies had something to do with it.. You
should really have read the article before acting like an idiot...

As to Harry's tripe I did not say Obama or Bush. Unlike you idiots I
don't post everything with a political slant.. The companies have been
trying to get a waiver for them, but again, the greens are probably
deep into this. They have used a portion of a bill that doesn't allow
lead over 600 ppm in products "marketed" to children under 13 so bikes
under 85 cc's are effected. Watch out though, your kids XBox has lead
solder, and there are many other toys and such coming down the road
with this one.. Fact is, most kids, even little ones don't chew on
their motorcycles, but the lawmakers know that... Either way, it is
just another way to attack the industry...

Despite your paranoia and other mental illnesses, it is unlikely the
regulations were passed to "attack the (kiddie motorcycle) industry.
Rather, to date, the kiddie motorcycle industry has thus far been
ineffective in getting an exemption.

It would be a good idea to ban entirely for safety reasons kiddie
motorcycles, but that isn't in the cards.

Tell you what...write and call regulators with your usual persuasive
manner and style, and I'm sure you'll never get the exemptions you seek.

Oh...my kids are too old for video games, and my grandkids' parents push
books on them, not video games.

From USA today...

By William M. Welch, USA TODAY
IRVINE, Calif. — A new federal law aimed at protecting children from
lead in toys has also forced a nationwide halt in sales of off-road
motorcycles and recreational vehicles built for young riders, killing
off a multimillion-dollar industry that was thriving despite the
recession.
Thousands of powersports dealers were told to halt sales of vehicles
designed for children 12 and younger because of new lead restrictions
in an act of Congress that took effect Feb. 10.

Freaking idiots are killing off whole industries and putting tens of
thousands of people out of jobs without really understanding the
consequences of the actions of the laws that they enact.

My first wifes kid broke his collarbone with a too big bicycle. I told
her the bike was too big and he would get hurt.

Yeah, so? Did you think I was denying the possibilities of a kid being
injured in a bicycle mishap?

Because Harry was kept locked in his hermetically sealed room, he
doesn't realize that learning to be competetive in sports relates a
lot to being competetive in the market place, the boardroom, etc.

Great, so like you, they'll learn to resent anything that hasn't been
"pushed" on them. Also like you, they must get pushed around alot at
school for being such wimps.

Yeah, but it makes them "feel good".. The big problem is like with
taxes. these idiots don't subscribe to the same rules as the rest of
us. It is just silly to think these kids are going to chew on their
bikes but the manufacturers took it real serious. Go to a Honda dealer
and try to find a CRF50.
