Did anyone even read the article? It has nothing to do with tree hugging or scared moms. It is part of the effort to remove lead from products made for children. It will be sorted out soon enough.

"Lead rules send mini dirt bikes to storage"
"Even the agency administering the ban understands it might be counterproductive."

"It became illegal Tuesday to sell off-road machines geared for children younger than 12 because parts in them contain lead at levels greater than 600 parts per million. Most motor vehicles have such parts."

soon you won't even be allowed to have cars. retarded
