    That will work, but you can do that only once every 12 months: Tax exemptionYou do not have to pay retail sales tax if: You are a qualifying Diplomat or Status Indian. You can complete a transfer by showing your identity card. You receive a vehicle as a gift from a close family member, such...

    You were at Rochester too? If I had known, I would've gotten my bike earlier. Would've saved us both gas and rental fee's lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hi! New to this site and to riding.

    Well, there is a downtown meet on Thursdays at Leslie and lakeshore. I'm sure there will be people there who you can meet and ride with. I just got my bike and just need to register it :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Importing a Motor Vehicle To Canada (the be all end all)

    I got the charges reversed today so I'm good to go. Another ~500 back into my pocket :) As for the cargo van, it doesn't seem like it will be a problem, but make sure you have the proper tie down points for your ratchet straps. Don't forget that you will need a ramp which can be done with...

    Importing a Motor Vehicle To Canada (the be all end all)

    Holy cow, I just took a look at it and I got hit by not 1, but 2 useless taxes. 1) Excise Tax - $100.00 2) Duty - $37X.XX I know I shouldn't be hit by both those taxes, but it was because the customs officer screwed up. My brother imported the bike on my behalf, so he didn't know much and...

    Importing a Motor Vehicle To Canada (the be all end all)

    I forgot to take a look last night but I think I was hit with both duty and excise tax. Duty as it is a Japanese bike (look at the first number on the vin and if it is not 1-5), you'll probably get hit like me. For the excise tax, I need to look that up as I have no air condition and the...

    Importing a Motor Vehicle To Canada (the be all end all)

    And to joeyjoejoe, the answer is no because it takes 24 hours for riv to process and send you form 1. This is assuming you send your payment and recall letters right away. I know you figured it out, but I guess this can serve as reinforcement Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Importing a Motor Vehicle To Canada (the be all end all)

    rx_se7en, it all really depends on the price of the bike you are purchasing. The extra costs/savings associated with it are the following: - Gas to drive to states - Meals (if applicable) - Truck/Trailer Rental (if applicable) - Trailer Hitch (if applicable) - RIV Fee (195 + HST) - Customs also...

    Importing a Motor Vehicle To Canada (the be all end all)

    Just finished my RIV inspection. Anyone know how long it takes for the sticker to arrive? I can't wait to get on the bike, especially since I pushed it to my nearest CT last night -- it was brutal! Pushing a bike 4km each way is not fun when it's hot and the bike is heavy as hell.

    How to Tie Down a sport/sport touring bike?

    Canyon Dancers I or II on the front handle bar (compress forks to 30-50%) -- if you do it too tightly, you will blow your fork seals like Rob said. As for the back, one strap through each passenger peg and make sure it is sitting tightly in place. Make sure it is not wobbly or anything. This...

    Insuring two people on 1 bike

    I got a quote from an insurance broker on a 600cc ss bike for both myself and my brother (myself as primary and brother as secondary) and it turned out to be 2100 for liability only. However, after purchasing the bike and trying to process the paperwork, we were given a new premium of 3800 for...

    Try "paint circuit", they are located in Toronto and can do a color match on your paint on the same day or you can go online and look for colorrite, they sell colormatched paint as well. As for the fairing repair, I didn't look on your website, but there isn't much required...
