Save the Motorcycles!

Please click here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKjGo5BWIOQto watch a short video from the AMA regarding the recent ban on kids motorcycles. This ban is from a Consumer Product Safety Act about lead exposure for kids. I am pretty sure most kids dont lick or eat their motorcycles or ATV's. This is seriously impacting the lives of people who work at dealerships, manufacturing plants, and the folks at the AMA. 60% off the AMA's events are from children's racing and riding. This isnt about safety for broken bones. It's for LEAD. Just let the kids ride! Let them have fun! Hunter LOVES riding his motorcycle! It is sad that parts and larger bikees will be unavailable to him in the future when he outgrows his current one. Tom Self, a motox dad and Congressman from Missouri, has an awesome petition on his website. All you do is fill in your info, click submit, and he does the rest. www.tomself.com Call your state representatives or send them an email.
