Well, there are differences, which is natural and what makes life worthwhile. The bonds we share far outweigh the bonds we do not. Kinda like big brother / little brother, both can handle their own when icomes down to it.

The Canadians have been America's ally through thick and thin, and that is appreciated in the military for sure. Here at Nellis AFB many countries send the pilots to train tactitcal / supporting roles. Canada , also reciprocates in Cold Lake. We are proud to work with them. Nothing finer than a squadron of F-15Cs along side some CF -18,

I will be an ulitmate winner in that I inherited a property outside Windsor on Lake Erie,very nice area and has a little bar, where bikers congregate. It is very low key and everybody remembers you. I look forward to spending more time there in 5 years.

But you can keep the winters thank you

You can find everything you need in life at Tim Hortons, Canadian Tire, and the peelers in between

Default I hope we don't loose the fact that this should all be

Tongue in cheek.
We are all the same because we have have a common bond, and that is these beautiful bikes we ride. Mostly for the same reasons. Although the chicks don't dig me as much as I was hoping. Regardles, the US and Canadian Military are the finest bunch of folks this side of any ocean and we should never forget that. These bikes bond us together. Everthing else or all the other **** (just doesn't matter) I still think your Miller High Life is the best beer in the world and am willing to drink with any of ya to prove it. Our Canuck beer is pasterized so that kills half the taste. Maybe if you yanks ever decide to get back at us for burning down the Whitehouse, maybe you could start by taking over our brewies first.
To the people in arms who protect us, I say to you "you will never be forgotten for your sacrifce"

All kegged beer and all imported beer sold in the US must be pasteurized. And because of how breweries work, that means all the bottled/canned beer is pasteurized, too. Only small-batch brews from microbreweries that say 'bottle conditioned' were not pasteurized. Often, small-batch runs that are bottle in 22 oz bottles have not been pasteurized either. Not always, though.

We can forgive the burning of the White House. Still fuming over that pig!

Wow ... I stand corrected! I have never heard of that actually happening. I don't think I know of anyone who has ever been caught going 35 over the speed limit either. If you ask me ... they should not only get their car impounded but, they should also get a kick in the **** with a frozen boot! There's no reason to drive THAT aggressively on a public road, where other lives are at stake ... Period! That's what ya call a menace!

I completed a circle tour around Lake Superior last summer on my brand X bike (sorry). I met some nice Canadian bikers. The biggest difference I noticed was they were more friendly and outgoing than my American counterparts.

You got to love our Canadain brothers to the north they gave us Hockey only the best game ever ...
By the way USA just beat the Canadians for the Junior World Championship last week in Canada. With any luck we can do the same in the Olympics next month in Vancouver.
All ribbing a side I truely love Canada and the Canadain people.I find them friendly and down to earth people that can drink most Americans under the table.
