how old is your son. my daughter rides a 125 and she is only 9 and sometimes she rides the 250. i have never been harassed for her age nor has any of the other children that ride with us. as long as their not doing anything stupid he should be fine. my kid knows the rules and rides safe.

 

This sounds a whole lot more reasonable than the stupid 6-12 70cc and 12-16 90cc recommendations.

Looks like they're basically saying that if you are a parent who has proven that they know how to safely operate an ATV that you can then be trusted to supervise your child.

Not bad.

called around and found a atv training class in town today it is full until september. found out that calf has a program that pay for the $75 class for kids under 16.

 

It is great to have the kids take the safety class, but hey, nobody will ever check to see if he has a certificate, or if you have one if you are riding with him. It just never happens. Put the kid on whatever bike he can handle, and go out and enjoy!!
