  UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  MY COMPLAINT IS ABOUT THE "CROTCH ROCKET" MOTORCYCLES THAT GO OVER 100 MPH ON 2ND & 3RD GEAR ON OUR PUBLIC STREETS. THESE BIKES WERE DESIGNED FOR PROFESSIONAL RACERS AND ARE BEING MARKETED TO YOUNG ADULTS. THEY SHOULD BE REGULATED. MY SON LOST HIS BEST FRIEND LAST WEEK ON ONE OF THESE BIKES. HOW CAN WE GET THEM OUTLAWED. *TR
