They have already started back East. I come from Nova Scotia and last year they banned anyone under the age of 16 from operating a quad or dirtbike other than at sanctioned events. there is more to it than that, but i'm not completely clear on that. They also said nobody under 16 could be on quads past a certain CC.
The way I see it is the same as the gun registry. It's the next step to abolishing them all together.

So where the hell do the kids get to learn to ride.Some of the best riders are the best because they rode before they walked>how do we get all the info on this and try do do something about it before it is to late.

Here is the link to the Off highway vehicle act of Nova Scotia.......look at section 11 in regards to persons under the age of 16.....
Section 11(c) the off-highway vehicle does not have an engine size in excess of that recommended by the manufacturer for an operator of the age and weight of the person under the age of fourteen years and, in any event, has an engine size of less than that prescribed by the regulations.
Not sure exactly what this means........

In BC, it is already illegal to ride motor bikes/quads/dune buggies on the Forest Service roads without a license. On top of that the CO's are supposed to be equipped with radar this summer to enforce the 80 kph speed limit. Go figure......
The only saving grace is that not all the roads out there are Forest Service roads....but it is coming....

Hi Folks
Just to let you know, here in Alberta you can't ride any ATV untill you are 14 years old. But, if you are under 14 and accompanied by a person 18 years and older it is OK to operate an atv on prov/crown land with lic. & ins.
.
Here at the lake there were so many complaints regarding ATV's there are Bylaws in place now to restrict their use.
The minority screwing it up for the majority.

Now imagine all those kids protesting at parliament hill. Little voices making a big deal would be awesome to see. All their mispelled words and little signs would be great.:d:d

Maybe I'm wrong here but aren't most of the child fatalities/injuries on ATV's a direct result of the machine being beyond their ability...so how does restricting the under 100cc's help. I have 2 PW80's and a crf50 so if they stop selling them it's no skin off my ass but it sucks for those who would want one in the future...as it is now they are very hard to insure, most insurance companies won't touch anything under 125cc...no insurance means no registration. my kids use them around the acreage but can not take them out onto the trails as it is now...so I guess if we want to go trail riding I'll have to put the boy (6yrs) on the TTR125 since he might hurt himself on the crf50....Don't argue, the government is smarter than us....

problem would be that it would still be against the law for your kids to ride them.
