I think I am gonna start speaking my mind to people I see riding in my neighborhood without helmets. Find out where they live and speak with the parents, they might not like it, but at least you've done what you could.

Title: Re: Another ATV Death in south florida Post by: MadMudder on October 18, 2006, 06:43:19 PM Its due to 2 things. One, the media is bias and seems to want to help ban atv's because the environmentalist are paying to get them to do so and 2 is a lack of knowledge on the part of the people. Most people know what an atv is but whenever something like this happens, its just blame the atv. Never mind that little cyindy or bobby was riding two up on an atv way to big on a public road. Couldnt have ANYTHING to do with the death. Now if your axle flys off or your playing chicken with the semi or big fence post then ofcourse its your falt. Then naturally you have the wonderful CPSC comming in to save the day and passing another stuipid rule to make themselves look good. Then the process repeats itself. So just incase you were wondering why we get all the crap thats a little breakdown.. :lecture.gif
