More stupid laws... Here in Washington the state just imposed a new "safe" lead level for childrens toys. Now the ATV shops are going belly up because ATV's and dirt bikes are listed as childrens toys in the legislation. The paint has lead in it that exceeds the new state limit for toys, can you believe it? The dealers have tons of ATV's and bikes in stock but have them labeled "not for sale". They are turning customers away. The fine is up to $25,000 if they sell one.

The bazaar thing is that you HAVE TO BE 18 to buy an ATV here!

I'm tired of poor legislation that isn't thought out and makes no sense.
