Well, my long distance ride with my motorcycle club at school is coming up soon, and It looks like maybe half of the trip will be through Canada.  I was wondering what rules rules I should be aware of as we ride through, ie.  Helmet Laws, gear laws...   Thanks

At first I read that as "Canadian motorcycles rule".

Ogg: Not spear, caveman.

Cars suck, Canadian motorcycles rule?

Well, rememer to read the little numbers on the inside of the dial while you're up there...

Gear laws won't matter because you're ATGATT anyway, no?  :P

1. Helmet required
2. Drive in KM not Miles
3. Tim Hortons is not someone's house, it's a coffee shop.
4. Watch out for wildlife
5. Watch out for Canadians.

That is all.

Bike needs to be insured and valid plates and registration... For Canadian motorists anyway-- I'm sure same goes for visitors.\

Ha! Cool I'm up there all the time. Haven't seen any GS's but my own outside of ProCycle :)

Good to see a fellow Maritimer ... If your down on the south shore drop a PM and I'll show your crew around the place...

not that i'm suggesting it, but when i went to toronto, i got pulled for speeding.  Just about twice the speed limit... when the cop... (who was in a pinto!) pulled me over and noticed i was from the states, he just kinda muttered "Damn" and warned me.  I'd assume tickets can't be inforced on us.

Sweet.
LIFE should NOT be a journey to the GRAVE with the intention of arriving SAFELY in an attractive and well PRESERVED body, but rather to SKID in sideways, CIGAR in one hand, favorite beverage in the other, body thoroughly USED UP, totally WORN OUT, and screaming WOW - WHAT A RIDE!

Have fun.  
Remember to bring some $1's and $5's in US dollars.  There's nothing like paying for a beer with a US $20 and getting back $18 in Canadian dough.  
The teacher from my motorcyle class said insurance is required.

Next is Aug 13, but won't have the GS then... I'll let you know when we go up with the bikes.

1. Dog sleds always have right-of-way.
2. Book your igloo's early, they rent out fast
3. Pick up your complimentary case of Molson Canadian on the way across the border.
4. You must have a CSA certified cup holder if you want to drink beer while riding the bike.
5.  Don't forget your toque.
6. Don't ask anyone for a "candy bar".  They won't know what you're talking about.
7. Don't worry about speeding.  The mounties can't keep up on their horses.

Kokanee (sp?) is the best Canadian beer.  If asked by a local, Ottawa is the capital.

Other than that, do as you please.  What's the worst that could happen?  Your American.  JK!

What are candy bars called?
