Meh. I got a 90cc dirt bike when I was eleven, a little before my dad bought me my first rifle.
But we usually didn't ride in the streets, we pushed them to a big field nearby.
It looks like we had more sense than many kids seem to have today and certainly didn't careen down streets in packs to take over the roads. There's just about only 1 demographic that does that.
I read every reply on this thread and some of you guys, not you peir... ...some of you guys truly forget what being a kid is like. We are not talking busy streets... we’re talking neighborhood streets where the speed limits are 25 mph... kids zones... kids playing... etc. Christ we player hockey, soccer baseball right in the middle of our streets!! There were never any whiney ass Karen’s who called the cops... bikes, minibikes, motorcycles, what ever!! Now its a fkng crime because some adult is inconvenienced!?? Man thats some BS... No wonder kids are such pu**ies these days!!
