Message: [QUOTE="Anssi, post: 222648, member: 23342"] Yeah, just try riding an MX bike on the street or doing 100mph on any road here in Finland. For riding an MX bike on the road it's not inconceivable that you would have to pay the registered bike tax on the bike(about 70% of the bike's price when new) plus penalties, together equaling to at least what you paid for the bike, and possibly losing the bike. 100mph even on a bigger road will cost you your license, although they usually let you drive home and I don't think you'll land in jail unless you flee or hurt somebody. However, I live in the most urban area in the country (downtown Helsinki), but can get to an old sandpit in the middle of a mixed forest to ride in 25 minutes. If I get injured, my $100/year insurance will take care of ALL treatment and rehab and pay for lost income(plus pay for all damages to other parties). When somebody gets shot dead it's big news nationwide. [/QUOTE]
