Plagued by thick traffic from suburban sprawl, this busy
DH seems destined for extinction as a decent motorcycle road. And that’s a
shame because this route, rolling through what’s left of the pleasant
countryside between Colwood and Sooke, has good pavement and great curves.
If you could move a little faster, you might even get to enjoy them. The
pylons-- mostly retired couples wearing rakish Tilley hats in their white
LeBaron convertibles-- crawl even slower than the ridiculously low speed
limit of 60-kph (40-mph) allows. Presumably, retirees don’t like the
centrifugal force generated by twisties. It’s the perfect place for speed
tax collectors to enforce our favourite section of B.C.’s Motor Vehicle
Act: Section 145(1) A person must not drive a motor vehicle at so slow a
speed as to impede or block the normal and reasonable movement of traffic…
Fat chance.
