I say get them a yamaha yfz450 and a bombardier outlander 800 and really give all those " I know how to raise your kid better than you." people something to talk about! What's bad is when a guy comes to an atv forum asking an honest question and gets everyones holier than thou comment. By the way most 50cc and smaller atvs can be limited to a lower speed than the powerwheels.

I especially like how you insult others for making some unfavorable comments about you.....I haven't forgotten about the "choice" words you used on one of my threads....

You need to back up and realize you are not our father, so please stop telling everyone what to do!!

Stop acting like you are better than the rest of us.

Ohh that's right...you are a safety instructor so you are better than us?


You cause more grief than good......


Once again I will bring up the point of the AMA sanctioning ATV races for 4 year olds.....Why not pick on them rather than good people tyring to find a way to spend quality time with their kids......


You mention that you are a "master skydiver, commercial pilot, stunt pilot and computer engineer"...Which one of those gives you the right to insult other members...as far as I can tell none of things really makes a difference in life, except for yours.....If you said a doctor or scientist or a red cross volunteer then I would have to give you some respect for your accomplishments....

Come on buddy get off your pedestal

 

1st thing........I dont want a darn "ATV instructor" handing my kids ANYTHING!!! I teach my kids everything they need to know (and more) about riding! I will put my kid on any size quad I want when I think they are ready. I have a 8 year old that is 5 feet tall at 80#'s and she is sapposed to fit on a 50cc...LMAO she would kill it. So needless to say I dont agree, nor follow any "laws, rules" saying size, age or that someone else is sapposed to teach my kids! I use that grey matter that fills my head! (or for you that are lacking......MY BRAIN)

 

It’s really quite simple. Just because you were the sperm donor does not automatically make you the best decision maker. When parents fail to make the correct decision for their children and place them in danger – then the law has to step in to protect the child. Therego the ATV age/size restrictions. Its not any more difficult then that. You may not like it – but that usually takes us back to the 2nd sentence herein. (p.s. I didn’t write the laws and if I did they would be very different)

For me – I VOLUNTEER my non-paid time to help kids 12-15 years old to become certified to ride larger then 90cc quads. With all the chest thumping and peacock feathers being strutted in here about how tough and smart they are – I think it gets forgotten that some of us are actually trying to do something positive in the sport.

It beats sitting around with your tails between your legs because your feelings got hurt in some stupid internet argument over babies riding motorized quads.

If hundreds of children were not dead and 100,000 taken to hospitals over the last couple of years – I’d be more inclined to agree that the restrictions are wrong. But they did die and they did get seriously injured. You can't have it both ways.

Do not make this about me - I am perfectly comfortable I have not made my drivers license my greatest achievement in life. Its about the kids who don’t know how to tell there daddy that he’s a jerk for putting him on a machine that will kill or injure them.

So quit acting like little girls having temper tantrums because I don’t agree with your logic and do the right thing – for your kids.

 

This doesn't make any sence. Comments like the last paragraph is words that could help your child have a better chance of getting hurt if not killed. I do feel that some children are too big for an 50 cc machine.. that's why we have 80cc machines etc.. The problem is with the legal system not doing anything with the children that fall in that catagory. It doesn't mean that since you are too big for a 50 you graduate to a 500+ cc machine.
