It became illegal Tuesday to sell off-road machines geared for children younger than 12 because parts in them contain lead at levels greater than 600 parts per million. Most motor vehicles have such parts.

At 110 degrees, it was one of the hottest days of the year in Colton. As I walked out of the Honda Rider Education Center's equipment room, a wave of heat hit me -- a harsh dose of reality.

TIPP CITY -- Tipp City officials want to put the brakes on riding allterrain vehicles, dirt bikes and snowmobiles on private residential property of less than five acres. The proposal was drawn up following complaints last summer from residents of the Windmere subdivision about off-road vehicles causing noise, fumes and dust.

Tom McCullough grew up on the West Side of Evansville, but spent countless weekends with his family at their wooded property near Lynnville, where he and his brothers raced dirt bikes. After the property had fallen into disuse, McCullough and his wife, Pam, bought it from Tom's parents and began taking their own three boys there on weekends.

In 2008, he found another use for it.
