Oh this brings up a question. You brought a gun into Canada? Was there any problem with what kind? I don't want to get to the border then have them confiscate my Sig P228 becuase its a handgun. I'm not staying for more than two days in the country so I hope this isn't an issue. Being from Georgia I'm always wary of other state's law enforcement when it comes to guns and going into Canada is another concern altogether

Your coming into Canada? Are you crazy? Crossing the border is like trying to enter into, well ...the USA!
You'll be grilled, drilled, scanned, threatened and if your lucky and all your little documents are in order and you certainly don't have loud pipes you just might get it.
Ya, bring yer guns. That goes over real big.

Been through numerous times and State Farm was perfect...Although I never had to use it in Canada...One thing that you may want to consider is the medical insurance, couple friends had to go to the hospital there, they were from Alaska, their personal insurance from their state job was not accepted on the spot, they had to pay out of pocket but was refunded afterwards... Be safe and have a good ride!

I have Allstate, but I will go there anyway to try and get a card. I suppose theres no way they will let me bring a few personal use Cuban cigars back eh? (Im practicing on my ehs already).
Are you guys serious about the pipes? one of us has v&h ovals which are the loudest in the group next to Pro pipe and I have Monster Ovals

It's very SIMPLE you CANNOT bring a handgun into Canada and you must have a permit to carry a rifle---automatic weapons are banned up here.
Your insurance is accepted here, and if you need medical attention,--YES- the emergency waits can be long for simple needs. We cross the border into the U.S, at least 3 times a week and have been to the emergency in Washington state--paid a small fee up front and our health service covered the rest.
Never had any conversations regarding loud pipes either at home nor in the U.S.(just back from Sturgis and California) Border crossing people have more to worry about than your exhaust--just turn your bike off when you reach the kiosk, entering and leaving.
