In my opinion and in the opinion of many, any adult who allows small
children to race motorcycles is encouraging reckless endangerment and
more, and under the right circumstances, child abuse charges could be
brought.

How about organized youth football, soccer, baseball, hockey or
golf? All have inherent danger of injuries. With the proper
equipment, supervision, and correctly sized dirt bike, I am not sure
it's any more dangerous than the other activities I mentioned.

There's a possibility of injury with many sports activities, of course,
but adding in the element of motorization, speed, gasoline, vehicles
that might weigh several hundred pounds, and bumpy courses, and the
resulting injuries can be very serious.

I don't believe "tackle" football should be played until high school. In
all the years I played "organized" baseball in New Haven, I never saw a
serious injury, and that includes Little League, Pony League, Babe Ruth
League and Industrial League. Lots of bumps and bruises, strained
muscles, et cetera, but no one was knocked unconscious or suffered a
debilitating spinal column injury.

Little kids have no business running motorized vehicles.

What about the stories of you operating a motorized jon boat at the age
of 6?
