It is illegal for any child under the age of 16 to operate a 4 wheeler, a jet ski, or drive an auto mobile why in the hell would anyone put a child on a 2 wheeled high powered motoecycle ? I know they want to but they also want to operate the other things too ! 16 should be the mandatory age limitation for motorcycles

Beats me why a motor bike at such a young age. A bicycle is bad enough.

Heaps sic ayee
my names trent

first of all. i want to say. my prayers go out to the famley & frinds. this is really sad to here. and its not your falt. no matter what any one says. i am at a loss for words for what some of these people have said. what world do these people live in. i am 40 years old. started race ing whem i was 5. till i was 36. i have 7 kids. and have ben rideing since befor they could rember. that means around 3 to 5 years old. i almost lost my sun. in a bad crash. on a dirt bike. but as his father i wanted to take his bike and sell it. but on the other hand. i rember i put my dad through the same thing and he sold my bike. i hated him for that.i was 9 at the time. i dident talk to him for almost 2 years. one day i came home and there was to new dirt bikes in the yard. a big one and a little one. now all i rember is all the rides i had with my dad. befor he pasted away. any way. i did not take my sons bike. if he loved rideing as much as i did n still do. i would not take that from my son. some of the best years of my life where on a dirt bike. and i wouldent trade them for an extra 100 years of life. i can see your sun loved to ride. and you obviously supported him in his rideing. and that is what he will rember. we dont just go away we go to a better place. and when he is not watching over you i would bet he is up there rideing. i beleave every one should live life to its fullest. and with no regreats. life is to short. to sit and watch it go by. you did the right thing by supporteing him. to you sad people out there that blame the mother n father. when you are laying in your deth bed wishing u had more time to do all the things u never got to do. YOU WILL DIE WITH REGRETS. in your little bubble. so befor you say any thing about the mother n father. u should take a long look in the mirror. i would hate to be your child. and be forsted to watch life go by. i dont no this boy or his famley. but i wish i could get my hands on some of u people. u must hate ur life. to talk to them like u did. ur said n ugley people. and have no idea what life is all about. i live every day as if its my last day. and i ride like that to. i onley hope when its my time to go. i go doing what i love also. rideing i have almost died 5 times on my bike. and u no what scares me the most dieing of old age. my 2 cents. our peayers go out to u from all of us here at club wfo. mike aka animal #69 kc mo

Took every bit of my 5 years worth of schooling to get through that last post. I got through it finally. Enjoyed the 2 cents.

First of all this kid was my friend and nevr have I seen a kid forced to ride a dirtbike I was 2 when I wanted to ride so my parents told my I had to learn how to ride a bike after a year of knowing how to ride a bycycle I got a guad to learn the basics of riding then I got a 50cc. All of my friend want to ride it's something we love like for some kids it football or baseball and motocross is just as dangerous as anyother sport and now the protection that riders have is crazy alot better then they had like 10 years ago. So all u guys can shut the hell up no one knows what it's like of you have kids that ride or If you ride youself. And the family is now helping other kids by getting them better gear so that this never happens again.

And another thing we do a slow lap for him every year and this year we only had 174 riders and his dad was in tears and was so thankful one year we had almost 400 people and it's all for the kids so almost all u guys went in a different way and thank u to the people that are seeing it the way I see it, thanks alot R.I.P Wyatt never forgotten.
