Re: Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008
That is not entirely true. There is lead in the steel. There is no lead in the paint that they use to paint the frames. Yeah since they are sold for kids they do not pass under the new guide lines. Now if they where sold for kids above 13 then we could still sell them, but the manufacturers are not going to use that loop hole!
I mean, are they really 'childs bikes' or are they just 'off road bikes'
I mean, a 12 year old can't purchase one, even if he had the money, gotta be 18 to purchase

Its a paint problem
lead in the paint
tehy'll simply paint them in another type of paint, and they'll be right back on the showroom floor right?
what I'm getting from the post, is there is too much lead in a product made for children
which IMO on a dirt bike is a little retarded.. That should be compared to a kid drinking the gasoline, eating grease, or drinking oil.
Obviously you don't eat chips of paint off your dirt bike, they are covered in dirt and oil! lol

Re: Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008
looks like I'm going to my local dealer Tuesday night and hustling a deal....lol
I just got my kids a fiddy for Christmas but 2 kids and 1 fiddy will only work for so long. I was thinking I'll have to give mine up so both of them can ride at the same time, but if the price is right I'll just pick up 1 more....
