:rofl: "Imperial gallons" :rofl: Don, read up on Liters. Oh heck, here: 1 US gallon = 3.78(541178) liters so expect just under a buck a liter.
Edit: Got a room at the Selkirk Inn w/o problems. FYI - All their rooms have A/C. Never know, I might still be acclimated to 55F in June the way this Winter is going.

Don I never did answer your question about kilometers (calling them "Klicks" instead will establish you as part of the cognoscente). 1 Mile = 1.619 klicks. So to avoid CBA fines, you must limit your daily rides to not more than 162 klicks. And if your US speedo is often registering 100 mph (162 klicks) you can expect to have a personal and intimate encounter with an RCMP LEO (not in a red serge suit - those are just ceremonial) known in Canada as a "Mountie". More insider jargon to help y'all avoid those trick border guard questions.
Imperial gallons are 4.454 litres (note Canadian spelling) so Canadian bikes always get 20% more "miles per gallon" than US bikes!
Current regular unleaded fuel prices in BC are around 80 to 85 cents per litre - much higher than in Alberta and Ontario (provincial tax grab). Who knows where prices will be by June - good thing our FJR's are so fuel efficient!

In all my border crossings I have never had an issue going in to Canada, it's always been coming back to the States (even with my passport). Mainly just attitude. Okay, there was that one time on the way to Penticton my friend's wife accidentally gave the border guy her Costco card (which he didn't find humorous at all) so we got the extra inspection that took a couple of hours.......
It's the US folks that have always been a problem. Watch out for CBP wearing fingerless gloves...that should be a red flag.
As for Canadian jargon, I've always liked the term "peeler bar"!

Back bacon is very good and for my fellow Canadian who doesn't know what it is, I'd post a photo if I could figure out how to insert an actual photo vs just the link to a photo (I'm NOT asking for directions so don't dogpile me! I looked at the directions but they don't seem to work - for me <_< )
What the hell are pasties ?!
