I rode my bike from Vancouver Island to Edmonton this weekend. As I passed through Blue River I watched the RCMP loading up an RT on a flat bead and tow it away. The guy was going 140 plus in a 100km zone. Above 40km over the posted limit they immediately tow and take your driving privileges away for a week. The cop told me that that particular detachment nabbed 246 vehicles last year for that offense alone and they nailed 6 just that afternoon. Blue River is a heck of a place to lose your wheels and driving privileges for a week. There is virtually no way to get out of there or to come back later to get your impounded bike back. The lonely highways in B.C. are a very tempting place to wind up the bike, but if you get caught it can be a long walk home.
