Got a link? The only thing I can find is stats saying Ontario is one of the safest places to drive per capita, per mileage and per licenced driver.

I ended up spending a few days in Croatia on the beach and made my way back "sideways" through the Alps. Since I rode mostly by myself I did not take many breaks and just rode.... picked another pass, rode, camped, rode.... and rode.... good times

That would be an amazing trip. I've done it twice in the Blue Ridge and Great Smokey Mountains and had an amazing time... just thinking of doing it in the Alps makes my hair stand on end.

I guess I can consider myself lucky (or spoiled), after riding for many years in Southern Germany and surrounding areas, I lived/rode in Oregon and now in WNC.

The only really bad riding area I lived in was in Florida for 3 month

... sorry folks - but it major league sucked. `

First time I did it, I was in the fast lane following a pickup in a Mazda Mystere doing about 140-145 and I come around a corner and traffic was stopped dead. I was on the brakes as hard as possible and stopped with my bumper so close to the truck I was following that I turned to my gf and actually asked, "Did we hit them?".
