Maybe this is why Canadia insurance is so high.

Ghost rider has a Canadian cousin who rides yamaha. I never really got the guys doing that kinda stuff on the highway, too easy for someone to change lanes into you/in front of you and it's all over. We all know how distracted cagers can be.

Or why their medical is publicly funded. 300 km/h is like 185 mph or so.

Toronto.. Canadia.. it's all the same thing... Don't any of you watch South Park.

Exactly. It doesn't matter how good your reflexes are. When you're going that fast, all it takes is someone in the left lane going, "OMG, that's my exit", and you're dead.

And if your under 25 you won't even get a quote that cheap for a CBR125 lol.
My buddy is 22yr old and paying $2400/year for a CBR125. (Which is decent for that age)
