Pending legislation in Oregon. Don't know what it's chances are for passing, but the fact that someone even introduced it is bad news for us all. By the way, Oregon's vehicle code includes 2-wheelers under the definition of ATV.
Summary of bill from oregon.gov:
Prohibits operation of all-terrain vehicles by persons under 12 years of age. Restricts operation of all-terrain vehicles by persons 12 to 15 years of age based on vehicle engine displacement. Prohibits sellers of all-terrain vehicles from knowingly selling all-terrain vehicles for use by persons under 12 years of age or for use by persons 12 to 15 years of age in violation of
engine displacement limitations.
Here is the website for the actual text of the bill:

We had a couple high-profile (media-hyped) kid deaths recently when their ATVs turned over on them. I agree they're very dangerous, but the bill goes way too far in including all motorcycles and all kids. This just isn't fair.
