    2-3 days -

    Usually travel a month at a time in US. First thing I do when I cross the border is find a Walmart and purchase a 'Pay as you go phone' and minutes. Costs around $60 much cheaper than trying to buy a roaming plan form one of our Canadian Ripoff companies.

    No Helmet Laws in the USA?

    There is a flip side to that. It's cool to see in the US guys on their big Harleys riding with a full front motorcycle helmet. Not every one is stupid in the US only a select few. What about our people riding their cruzers with those peanut sized helmets? To my mind they are only for show and to...

    I live in the Stratford area and have my parcels delivered to Port Huron (Sarnia). I have used SCC Parcel Pickup (2540 Lapeer Rd in Port Huron, MI) several times. They too charge you $5 per parcel and will keep for two months before adding another $5. I ride a BMW and most non-BMW accessory...

    How Long Did It Take You To Learn How To Ride A Motorycle?

    I took my motorcycle training/license training 30 years ago at Centennial College and I have been learning to ride my motorcycle ever since. There is always something I can do better.

    Border trouble

    If you get caught bringing in something illegal or not declared and it's only minor then it stays on your record (i.e. Passport) for the next three years. This includes Air and Road travel in the U.S. Yep! bin there done that! and had the searches.

    First 30 Days Most Dangerous

    I was told at the motorcycle course I took over 30 years ago that "you are not a motorcyclist until your first accident" and from experience over the years it is very true.

    little bugs/insects getting in to a full face helmet while riding.

    Have eaten and snorted many bugs over the years, that's why I now have a Shoei Multitech Helmet with a 'Chin Curtain' to keep those pesky buggers out :D

    On-coming car in your lane, what do you do?

    On the way back from Grand Bend a couple of years ago and idiot coming the other way decided to pass three cars and a small truck. I saw what he was doing and realizing he was not backing I hit my breaks hard! (I was doing 100 kph) Locked the back brake and it started fishtailing. Not a nice...
