I know there was another thread started about this subject a while back but I can't seem to find it now. Well anyhow.

So ya'll have heard, that there was a bill about lead in children's toys and it had the unintentional affect because of wording that caused youth motorcycles to be outlawed because of lead in the batteries and stupid stuff like that.

Well, good news. That bill has been re-done that exempts youth motorcycles from the bill so children's bikes are now available again.

Malcom Smith of trials bike fame and featured oin "On Any Sunday" has a dealership. I saw him on tv selling motorcycles and telling them to come and get him. I never heard any more, but the tv guy said he sold three children's bikes that day. Good for him!
