Here's a quote from an email I received from my local Honda dealer.

"The CPSC is still holding out in the BAN AGAINST YOUTH MODEL POWERSPORTS PRODUCTS. While this is unfortunate, at Hayden Honda Powerhouse, we have decided to help where we can, because we know you want to ride. In accordance with a new Honda Policy, all TRX90, CRF70, and CRF80 dirtbikes can now be sold, but are restricted for use by individuals over the age of 12. We know the law is dumb, but we know you just want to ride! "

Buy em up boys.

Update: I finally got a chance to talk to my local dealer. He's always been a small engine shop, making his money over the years selling mowers, chain saws, etc. In the last two years he's done well selling Chinese ATV's and dirt bikes. I've been very supportive, sending him as much business as I can. This guy's different because he's not a fly-by-night operation and he really supports what he sells. But I digress. The point is I was worried about all the inventory he had that I didn't think he'd be able to sell. He showed me a letter from the CPSC that says there's a one year stay on the enforcement of this new law. Machines manufactured after April 2009 will not be exempt from the law, presumably becuase the manufacturers have had time to fix the problems. Everything prior to that can still be sold under the stay.

Here's the funny thing: the way they're fixing this is the manufacturer is sending out all new stickers to put on the ATV's and dirt bikes saying nobody under 16 can ride them. I went to the Iowa Deer Classic over the weekend and there was an ATV dealer there called Lueken ATV's from Sullivan MO. They were doing essentially the same thing: they had 110cc quads with "no riders under 16" stickers. Apparently this is perfectly legal!

So the news is apparently improving on powersports for kids....

Gonna get my little man a fake ID!!!!

I love it.

So what happens if you let a small child ride one of these bikes that has a new warning label? Is it like tearing the label off your mattress? Pretty soon you won't be able to buy a 50 till you're 50.

[LonesomeTriZ]

I wonder if it is one of those laws they do not enforce. Kind of like the states in the bible belt have a no oral sex law, but no gos to jail over it.

[firehart]

I wonder why there was no ban on bicycles or tricyles?

[MonroeMike]

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[smvorndran]

My daughter's 110cc quad says no one under 16 may ride, and she started on it at 8. I'm not taking her off of it. They can kiss my butt.

I wonder if they are enforcing the rule at Silver Lake or ATV parks.
