A few bad apples can ruin it for everyone I suppose.

Dont ban, just do like snowmobiles, you go ever a certain CC youre going to pay out the nose.

Those were my thoughts too. But that would make too much since I guess.

That's just silly, but I doubt it will actually happen. Why don't they just increase the insurance costs for sportbikes, instead of banning them all together? If all they care about is the money, then just increase how much it costs to own one. But I doubt they will ever ban every sportbike over 400cc, because what are all the people that already own one supposed to do?

I personally find insurance companies to be real big bs'ers. Ohh lets ban this type of vehicle because we are losing money. We are suppose to be ripping of the customers, not the other way around. Anyway, I bet they exagerate the amount just to make even more money. Bunch of greedy bastards.

Quebec may be part of Canada and suck up their fair share(and more) of the benefits that go along with that(while contributing.... what exactly?) but they are actually living in their own little world.

Too bad they want to force their world on the rest of the country.... :roll:

They can take their ball and go home anytime IMHO....

I thought the same thing about the $100 million. That just seems a wee bit inflated for some reason.

Dam, your right, Pete!!!

How could I forget. I do love that stuff!!!

'Course, it is designed to slowly kill you by clogging your arteries solid, and I'm convinced that's the reason they unleashed it upon the rest of the country.... :wink:
