My mom sure squawked a lot the time I showed up after nearly crashing my friend's 4-wheeler (pretty embarrassing - it did not crash but I managed to throw myself off the side, then tried to run over my leg with the back wheel). That pair of jeans was done, and I had an interesting knee scar for quite a while....
Edit: no I was not wearing a helmet during this sorry episode
Yah, we were allowed to drive boats, cars, motor cycles, sandrails, etc., at about 10 (sans parents). As long as we showed capability and respect for safety.
Lolol…many a near death experience that the folks never knew about. And no helmets. Made us brave and self sufficient.
