Yes, it's definitely Christmas.

As of this afternoon, the annual I'm 13 And My Dad Bought Me A Dirtbike Extravaganza, has begun.

So, for the next 3 months (they'll be all taken back after that) I'll have to carefully avoid illegal drivers, on illegal vehicles, doing illegal stuff in my neighborhood. Happens every Christmas. I'm shocked none of them have been killed yet because they pull right out in front of you and sometimes think it's cool to play "chicken".

Why do parents do this? Don't they see how the other kids behave on these things? Don't they ever think, maybe I should take little Timmy somewhere where it's legal to ride?

And if you just bought your son/daughter one for Christmas, I'm sure they'll drive it very safely, while they're still within your eyesight.

It's unfortunate that there are parents that aren't the brightest crayons in the crayon box and allow their kids to get away this behavior.

I had one of those in my area here in Donelson last year. 1am and I keep hearing a dirtbike run up and down the street.

Got pissed enough to get dressed ,turn off the alarm and was going to go have a talk W/ the parents....until I saw the police car sitting in the driveway. dad was a cop...figured it wouldn't do much good at that point
