    Importing race bike from US

    Doesn't need to be roadworthy. Doesn't even need an ownership. You don't need an ownership to take it across the border, you need a declaration of ownership. Race bikes don't have ownerships, and on some racebikes the VIN is UN-registerable in Canada Yes the border wants 2 days notice. Taxes and...

    Your biggest worry storing in a unheated space is condensation. Be sure you have good ventilation and you'll be fine

    storing motorcycle in unheated garage (attached to house)

    Uh OH... incoming diatribe..... Start with: OP don't bother "fogging" the motor if you've recently been riding the bike. the motor fogs itself... if you don't believe me: get your motor up to temp and remove the oil fill cap. See all that oil rich mist floating out? Engine fog. "Fogging" and...

    The personal and private use only endorsement can get you around that on select vehicles... just to further add to the confusion

    Hauling double trailer with Pick up?

    There was a time I was pulling my buddy's Super Stock drag racer all over the country with a minivan, and the weigh tickets were close to the GVW of the truck, which had a PUO endorsement... which RAISED the GVW from the factory GVW, almost doubled the GVW. And I have visions of being pulled...

    Hauling double trailer with Pick up?

    For commercial vehicle registered over 4500kg GVW. Under 4500kg no yellow sticker, no annual inspection... AND you can get blue passenger car plates for it (IF it has a seatbelt in the back... doesn't NEED a seat, just the belt)

    Hauling double trailer with Pick up?

    The CVOR is nothing in this debate. Law says IF you operate a commercially licensed vehicle over 4500kg you need a CVOR. It is a further add on license. Just more government BS... BUT the CVOR means the operator of a commercially licensed vehicle with a "G" license is bound by the same...

    Hauling double trailer with Pick up?

    There WAS a time when you had to register the vehicle as commercial IF you used it for ANY commercial purpose... so taxi cabs had commercial plates, so did delivery vehicles (including pizza or chinese food) and the like. That day is long gone. I started driving a cab in the late '70s and I...

    Time for a new ride... (ideas welcome!)

    The swingarms on those '70s bikes weren't strong enough for the big motors (neither were the frames, but that's another discussion) so CalFab whipped up these trussed swingers... which just moved the excessive forces to the swingarm pivot, so they started bracing that too, which moved the forces...

    Hauling double trailer with Pick up?

    I THINK most, if not all, states changed their laws the same time Ontario did. These rule changes took a lot of race carrier setups off the road... you USED to be able to register a semi as a motorhome and pay next to nothing for registration and insurance... not anymore. Now the racer setup has...

    Hauling double trailer with Pick up?

    No longer legal in Ontario, been illegal a while now... 20yrs or so. One trailer per non commercial vehicle As long as the "thing" is self contained piece of equipment, it is not a trailer. A trailer carries stuff. So you can pull a smoker, or a compressor or a wood chipper or the like without...
