A motorcycle crash involving younger children

[FROSTY:Me]

Fuck me--the kill switch to baby bikies quad is now hidden away.
I think a bunch of ya making comment here have NO idea how smart kids are and how bloody stubborn.
Said 70cc was a kids farm bike and the 7 year old was riding-pillioning his brother.
Why so defensive ya ask---well its the sorta stunt baby bikie has pulled thats why.
The dad had no idea his kids were on the road and had told em not to do so.
Like Motu said -we all did it --and this was in a rural area not city.
For the record--Baby bikie has pushed his quad bike 600m and can start it when its hot. so kids are strong enough to ride bikes --they shouldn't without adults arounnd-I agree but kids be kids.
As for the issue of those 50cc choppers--those things are fucking death traps.

I'm afraid strength is not really the only issue although it is important.

It's maturity and responsibility and skill as well, and there are kids that are perfectly capable of being out and about by themselves, and there are those that are not.

When I was 9-12 years old I used to hop on my friends farm bike evry weekend and roar all over the farm.We used to do seventy on the dirt road, around blind corners as well.

We also over loaded the atv with seven kids and the thing flipped going over a bank (surprise surprise).

No one got hurt, but I know how some kids think, or don't think in our case

From the accounts I've heard around here it is true. It was apparently a blind bend or crest in the road and the driver could do nothing to avoid the impact.

Yup.
