    Bin watchin the telly too much i gather , funny home video show over the last cupla weeks and guess what , funny? clips with the revelence of helmets and saftey again on motorcikles.

    see's a few young kids from 5 to 10 yo by the looks of em on those little dirt bikes alllllll dressed up by loving da mum or dad , big$$$$ , full kits , new helmet new barkbusters top and bottom new boots and gloves all the right gear , then shows said full protected thing take off , flat out , no control , looks like not knowing about brakes , the head wobbling all over the place due to the weight and smacks head on into a fence or more as flat out , no control over a jump and departs the bike midair or sticks with it untill it hits the ground or others hit a stationary article.

    I looked into the mind? of mum and dad and saw that they were doing exactly as they were told/law/safety see's fit as in they thought they were doing the right thing by kitting them up as to "protect" the kids not even noticing the little [but now big in helmet] flopping about and even thinking about [the heads safe what about the neck].

    So my point of those mentally challenged people are they that stupid as to not realize it is more inportant to know HOW to ride/operate the said device first preferably without protective gear so one CAN ride , then instruct on further safety practices.

    That all from propaganda , see the point , buy the gear your safer everthing else is SEcond.....

    One crack at the Right time and thats it..

    UNREEL.....

    No kidding...

    Most starter dirt bikes have a throttle limiter - set wide open from the factory.

    Ten minutes reading the manual by Mom and Dad and little Timmy has a great bike experience - learning safety and learning slowly.

    Instead they ditch responsibility and someone gets hurt... Then they sue.

    I'm as hot as you are about this since I am trying to buy some property this month that would allow me to get my son a small bike.

    It's been on my mind...

    Yaknow i never thought of bringing up the insurence thing even though its mentioned on the other debate which i think has now stopped for now jim.

    I supposed buried deep in the background its lurking around in the subconcience of said people as in a 'we can sue?' maybe or has right , as you see though the infliction will not be on them per se but the little tacker who is probably just trying to please da mom/dad and being told what to do as da mom/dad is also being told what to do and even though da money is all spent one knows who really will pay for it , maybe permanently.

    So i re quote to defend them , "who is the stupid one the ones being told or the tellers!" excuse the obvious link to a bank there :)
