Morning PSAR. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Hey Bing, be sure to look at the front end. Looks like they switched back to a stock tire, and doesn't match the lift on the truck. Other than that, it looks good.

Make a nice present for someone in Texas. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Came across this story, very sad

ATV Accident in South Texas
Tags said no one under 16 years of age. That means it was larger than a 90cc quad.
Sad story but once again shows that 80% or more of the accidents causing injury or deaths on quads are caused by not following manufacturers recommendations. These are listed on every new quads fender.
I agree with a 6 year old riding double with a 2 year old is dumb. But, if we went by the "manufacturers recommendations" with the age limits, Jenna would still be riding a 90cc and so would Peyton. I think every parent should be able to decide on what is best for thier children, not the manufacturer or the government.

As it is, those parents are paying the highest price/penelty for the loss of thier child. We all know it is a dangerous activity and yet we still choose to do it. I doubt that the kids was wearing any kind of protective gear either when this happened.

Just my .02 cents worth.

I agree on the size of quad / size & experience of rider not quite being right from what's recommended from the manufacturer. That being said, a six year old WITH a two year old also on a 90+cc quad is nuts. One of the other things against recommendations is riding double. This is extremely dangerous even with experienced adults.
Like you said, the kids probably weren't wearing protective gear, another recommendation!
All this does is add to the ATV injury/death statistics that the greenies and others use against us to get more and more restrictions put on our riding areas. With their ultimate goal to shut us down completely.

4 year old truck with 167K miles? Over 40K per year. That would be too much for me. My 12 year old van has less miles than that.

common sence is all that is needed to keep this from happening ...I do not agree with manufactures recomended ages at all if we followed them Michael would still be on the 90 and the other kids would be on 50cc...just because a quad says 16 and over does not meen everyone that is over that should ride it...COMMON SENCE
