Two Months on an FJR

I'm new around here but I hope 2015 is a better year for you, Shawn! I know Canada won't let us in for various reasons...didn't know they started keeping you guys out of here too.

LOL Thanks very much!

I'm curious... what's all this "not being allowed in" stuff about?

I live on a whopping great island so do not have these issues...

Americans can get a bit uptight about who they allow into their country.

As can Canadians as well

Some of us, (OK, many of us), can recall when crossing the US/Canada border either way required only a glance at a valid driver's license. We were friendly neighbors, and good friends, sharing the longest unguarded international border in the world.

Then this terrorist ******** happened, and paranoia took over.

And it's getting worse

I still like going across the line for some decent Tex/mex chow

That's for sure!

Edit -- Seems when we cross with a larger group of 6-8 bikes, a couple always get picked out for special treatment.

We have over 11 million illegal immigrants here. Seems to me like we don't give a damn who comes in as long as you don't do it legally.

Thanks. I was unaware. As an Aussie I just think of you as neighbours, certainly not truly 'foreign' countries.

Did a trip to Auz a while back and had the pleasure of touring the Great Ocean Road.

Friendly bunch you are and let us in with "no worries".

Mind you, you should have been more careful about those rabbits
