First, Thanks to everyone who has visited my website. I really enjoy getting a bit of feedback.tony wrote:good site thunderace ,looks like a big country,any speed limits there?
Second, Yeah Canada is a bit big. If you rode non-stop it would take about 5 days to go one side to the other...
City limits are 50k
Bigger roads are usually 80k
and the Freeway (#1 Highway - TransCanada Highway - goes right across Canada) usual limit 100.
usually everybody goes 65 in the city
100 on the big roads
130 on the freeway....
(or more)
Too many cars not enough cops.
Of course I have come to a complete stop on the Freeway MANY times.
Figure that out.... too many cars not enough lanes....

If you think its bad there on the roads, you should try it here
I visited Ontario a couple of times years ago and hired a car to get around.
I was warned to try and avoid coming through Toronto at rush hour ( i think it was the QEW) cause it was really heavy traffic.
Well me being me decided to take absolutely no heed to the advice given and went through Toronto at rush hour.
All I can say is that you guys have got it easy, your rush hour traffic is nothing compared to ours over here an yours only seems to stop if theres an accident.
Going from town to town though the roads are a bit too straight but you can get good top speeds on them
I only ha a small runaroun when I was there...... a 3.6L Malibu

Yeah, I guess we got it pretty good here. Gas is about $1 per litre....
Traffic isnt THAT bad most of the time....
And I am lucky, I have my own two car garage (one car and the bike inside) at home and my own private underground secured parking at work.
I have heard that parking in downtown London costs about $10 per hour.... All I can think of is that poor kid working at McDonalds for $8 and hour looking out the window and thinking "That parking meter is making more an hour than I am!"
