Don�t cry, in Holland: roadtax for my bikes (younger then 25 years) about
55 dollar, but for my car (rangerover)about 800 bucks a year. Every year a
mechanical test for 34 bucks (for every car but they thinking about bikes)
redicules soundregulation, every mile a speedbump or in my hometown about 1
every 100 meters.And if there is no speedbump then there is a trafficlight
at nearly every crossing, Petrol 1 dollar a liter,
We have a female minister who made it her mission to be sure cars becomes so
expensive you can�t drive it, and she hates motorbikes because they are
dangoures.
