That would be coming up there to work. Whole other can of worms trust me I know.
taking a pic of my bike with a mountain background for my facebook profile pic is considered working??
you get my point. like I said, 3 times for us, enclosed trailers and everything and weve been waived on through every time, not a care in the world. ill let you know how my may 15th trip goes too.
first time we werent sure... I had a buddy with a non insured bike. he went and insured and registered it for the trip. what a waste of time and money that was. didnt need it and not a single soul cared.
sure it doesnt hurt to have it, but if youre planning on cancelling a trip and losing sleep over this because you think youre gonna get shut down at the border is wrong.
like I said, theyre not highway enforcement, BLM officers, or canadian fish and wildlife officers. those are the guys that care. the border cops? nah. they dont ask to see reg and insurance on my car either and I travel into the states 20-30x a year. whats the diff between the bikes?
if youre not doing anything illegal, you got NOTHING to worry about. think about it. if youre planning on buying a bike and sneaking it across, thats a tad scary. 1 guy and 2-3 bikes?? thats a bit odd.. they can tell when youre lying/nervous and up to something from a mile away.
