CPSC at it again!! Youth ATV's and dirtbikes to be banned!, along with a/m parts!!

**Nick_R_23** · 02-01-2009, 07:32 AM

Thought you all might want to see this. The CPSC is banning the sales of new or used Honda TRX 90, CRF 50F, CRF 70F, or CRF 80F models and other makes and models of youth ATVs and dirtbikes will be banned after February 10, 2009, because of concern about low levels of lead that MAY exist in paint, engine casings, battery terminals, and tire valve stems. Accessories for these machines could be banned as well.

They are considering attemping to ban all aftermarket parts for these machines also. What pile of bullshit will they come up with next???

These people need to get a life.

it won't happen, there 100,000's of these sold alone in the united states, this is going to backlash, you cant ride them, you cant sell them, that means scrap. as for after market crap, this is a control issue. Agian this going to backlash, I don't want to be the guy in charge when it does. I have never heard of lead poisoning from riding an XR....lol....

I guess I should start importing cheap banned youth atv and motocross in Canada...

How many of use grew up in houses with lead pipes? Or rode our bicyles without helmets, and ran with scissors in our hands? I guess they'd rather have the kids grew up to be stupid couch potatoes that are hooked on kill'm video games than grew up knowing the risks in real life. What about the rays that tv's and computers put out?

Yeah....but they don't taste as good as the old schoolhouse paint did.

**factoryX** · 02-03-2009, 09:28 PM

wow, 7 days to take your kids riding for the last time...lol

**night4creeper** · 02-06-2009, 08:27 PM

wow! if lead is the excuse, they better take all the cars and trucks on the road away too. the last time I checked everyone of them have lead battery post. just think about those "green nazi's"....the electric cars are even more of a threat since they have so many batteries...

Soon it is going to be illegal to be alive.. if you die, they will probably give you a fine.
