Not sure if you have seen these new little dirt bikes that the real young kids are driving but they really get out there! Gas operated but zippy as all get out.

I was walking the dogs today and a kid no more then 7 whizzed by. At first I thought "dang, wish they had those when I was a kid..." but I noticed he wasn't wearing a helmet. Well, I can say that I never wore one either when I was young but then again I was a bit older too. A few seconds later Dad goes flying by on one and he has a boy on his lap that was the better part of 4. No one wore a helmet. Dad was zipping at a really good pace.

I hope I don't come off as a grumpy ol man but it would not take much to send them azz over tea kettle. Bikes are a blasty but if your gonna ride, do so safely and not with a 4 year old on your lap.
