HERE IS A CRAZY THOUGHT.  I'M 15 YEARS OLD STRAIGHT A'S IN SCHOOL.
JUST GOT MY LEARNERS PERMIT, DRIVE MY MOM'S 3800 LB. TRUCK ON THE
ROAD AND OFF ROAD.  BUT CAN'T NOT DRIVE MY FOREMAN ON SOME OF
THE TRAILS AND IT ONLY WEIGHS 600 LBS.  WHAT UP WITH THIS??

I hear you, I think the age recommendations for ATV's are crazy.  According to their age requirements, you are suppose to be riding a 90, and that's just crazy. 

its because the government people are retards.

Actually enough people hurt themselves acting like retards that the government just put an age on statistical data. It is outdated & rediculous. My son and daughter were 4 when they got their first quads. I was 12 when I got a 200x 3wheeler.

Well if you flip your Moms SUV u have something protecting you, and too boot you have a seatbelt.  On a ATV you flip and your going to hurt something no questions asked, and your not strapped in.  It is a dumb law but it keeps alot of deaths from happening.

they could have done a little better job. a 15 year old on a 90? thats screwed up. when i was 15, i weighed 150lbs and was 6' tall.

Notice your the only one laughing, pathetic aint it?  Anyone with common sense let alone a brain knows that an automobile is safer than an ATV... but wait didnt you just laugh at my statement that said just that? ::) 

He brings up a good point but its not about the machine that decides the roll over. Anyone can roll riding anything. That responsibilty lies with the rider. Anyway I think most of us agree that they are outdated and wrong.

rebel is a joke he is a tard i still cant bleave he is still on thise site with out a bike lol what a loser


my friend is going throw the same thing he has a rancher and he cant ride it now cuz of  the rules and what not its pritty gay

I'm the tard?  Atleast I can spell correctly bucko 2:L.  Go back to grade school, or in easier terms for you to comprehend... elementary school ;D Good try though.

Atleast this kid doesn't have mommy and daddy buying his bikes.  Some of you may buy your own.  Most likely because you are 18 or older and you should be buying your own toys.  Give the kid a break he's apparently quite a bit smarter than the majority of you spoiled little brats.  Just because he doesn't have a bike doesn't mean he doesn't have an opinion or has never rode one.  And the rest of you little obnoxious kids giving him hell have no business talking because not a damn one of you would have a bike either had your parents not bought your first one.

Finally maybe they will LISTEN since its coming from someone elses mouth.

So then why defend yourself if you aren't one of the spoiled brats?

you have a point but im not a spoiled brat tho i buy my own bikes and im 17 i do go throw alot of bikes but its not coming out of my moms pocket i just sold my rubicon to give her 1500 to help her pay some bills she had
i wish my mom and dad would buy me a quad (my mom got me one when i was a lil kid and then one about 3 years ago but when i sold that my mom got the $ not me )  ill rag on him if i want too if he wants a bike go get a job i have had a bunch since i was 14  i pay for my own car insurance i bought my own truck i pay for my gas and any mod's i do and i pay for gas to go to the track only thing my mom buys me is cloths and food this isnt school why should i try and talk right here ? are you going to give me an a or b ? no so why should i care ?

You misquoted me.  The first part of that was 'And the rest of you little obnoxious kids giving him hell have no business talking because not a damn one of you would have a bike either had your parents not bought your first one.'  You are 18 and not a kid.

You said you bought everything that had wheels on it 100% with your money but now your saying your parents got you your first one? ugh.... :D

Doesnt matter if you got the money or not, fact is she bought you a quad.  No money talk.
 She spends money on alot more things than food and clothes dude.  It doesnt matter if its school or not, using correct grammar and not talking like an idiot shows maturity thus people will have more respect.  If you go around saying "lol he doesnt have a byke lol what a loser he shuld go dye lol" of course im going to make fun of you, anyone would.  Notice this sites majority population is adults, not many talk like that.

ok and >>>>> i said my  mom got me my 1st bike when i was like 5 and then one at like 13 ? arnt u like 16 ? why dont you work and buy your self a bike ?

ohh and u got me there she also pays for my doc co pays and lil  things  here and there also when she got me my 2nd bike i had to work my A$$$$ of for it 
so go cry some where eles and go buy a bike

It doesnt matter, she bought you your first bike, PERIOD.  Were talking about who got you started in the sport of ATVing, not if you paid for other bikes when you were capable of going to the potty correctly.  I have a job on the side, BUT I cannot spend any money I make.  I am basically on a contract with my folks, I have to get all A's and B's on my next report card in order for them to co-sign on a 10k loan.  I have no credit history so with them co-signing saying I will pay that weekly/montly fee I have a good chance to get approved.  And that is going towards a car im getting this summer.  Maybe when I graduate and have that loan nearly paid off I can get something on the side, but until then its not happening.

15 yrs old is too young to have a license.

Permit, he has to drive with a 21yr or older licensed driver.  Trust me, it sucks. :-\

or a permit

lmao i herd the same ask juan 450r or juan z400 w/e his screen anme is he has seen him on his myspace and the kid is plump lol

If the parents do not take care of their kids. the government has to step in and do it. What a shame.

You said you bought everything that had wheels on your own.  But then you quoted QT by saying your parents got you your first quad? How old are you by the way, or do I even dare ask?

I havent logged onto my myspace in atleast a month + I have no pics on it.

oh ok.  I dont know how old you are and I'd rather not take a stab at it.  If you have ever seen the show "Rob and Big" on MTV he always says 22's referring to the width of his upper arm.  I got it in physics one day when I took all of the books and lifted them which was atleast 250lbs+, so now whenever I do something everyone at my school says "22's son".  Its a inside kind of thing you can say.

Hmm well the last time I checked, it wasnt the 15 yr olds getting into cars drunk and killing innocent people. If the world had more defensive 15yr old drivers then it would be allot safer. I've seen adult drivers that do so many things that its ridcilous while there driving.

Just to let everyone know redneckjetski is my son.  He earned the foreman.  He has a part time job. He has been my riding buddy for about 6 years, been riding the foremans for about 3 years now. He's a better driver than alot of adults. But that's not the point.  The age recommends are really stupid when it come to ATV's. There are some adults out there the should not be allowed to even ride atv's. And it's not atv's that kill or hurt people. It's the people that ride them. You need to have respect for the machine or it will hurt you.

Rebel what ever happened to your banshee?Or that 100000$ check or w.e that you posted up here?Why didn't you buy a bike with that money

So if i get stopped on my shee or 4x4 what happens?im 15 turning 16 in 2 months

I hear ya on this one.  If you go to buy a new ATV and are under 16 the dealer cant sell you it if they know anything about you riding it.  Parent or someone else has to buy it and cant say a thing about you having it.  And yeah what 15 year old even 12 year old would be on a 90cc quad?  Your knees would be on the handlebars and to me be unsafe.  The reason I think is that people get killed riding a machine too great for their experience.  A few years ago a girl (I think about 13) got decapitated hitting a barbed wire fence on a 400ex.

The Banshee I had for a week tops, I was forced to sell it back.  People complained of the noise since I didnt have a trailer to take it to Croom or anything.  That was for 44,9 and thats going towards my UTI fund when I graduate.

You won't get in trouble for riding under age on an atv. They are simply dealer reccomendations (liability) not a law. I'm 14 and the only place I know of that I can't ride because of my age is Big Cypress.

rules are rules ::)
