see, now youve gone and made me go on my motorcycle rant. why why why??? is the kid wearing a helmet? even if so, i shudder to think of what would happen if the motorcycle took a spill. thats why bikers wear head to toe leather! so their flesh doesnt get ripped off if they wipe out! im not sure of the laws in every state, but in IN, you have to be 14 to ride on a motorcycle. sadly, we do not have an enforced helmet law. i see people cruising around like jackasses barely dressed and with no helmet, and i just wonder what the hell theyre thinking.
