Bet that title caught your eye.
Aparently Off-Road Motorcycle/ATV/Snowmobile Manufactures have to cease all production of youth vehicles because of lead in the parts of the engine,batteries, etc.
Question?
How the are parts in the engine going to affect some kid riding the vehicle? That AIN'T gonna give lead poisining. the only way he might be poisoned is if he sucks on the exhaust pipe. These vehicles comprise around 20% of the industries marketyou are loosing a BIG chunk of the pie with this.
Come on. I've never heard of any kid dying of lead poisoning because of a dirt bike or ATV. it just doesn't make sense.
Here's an article.
