There are no stupid questions, only stupid people
same experience for me as Mingo. The only painful thing was getting into the US, computers were down, so 1.5 hour wait in 30 deg C.limey said:Thanks a bunch mingo, My buddy is going to buy from the USA. This will help thanks again. ::008::
Paul.
on the way back, the fellow from the US dealership faxed the forms over to us customs.
-go and see the guys at us customs, grab forms (10 min tops depending on volume of people)
-go over to the canadian side, pay GST, they will get you a number to put into your riv form. the candadian guys do not look at the bike.
-drive home, online fill out your riv form use the number provided by the customs guy, pay your $195 dollars via credit card
-riv registration sticker arrives in 2-3 days, complete with form
-go to your local crappy tire with riv form, bill of sale..i think the form from the border. Crappy tire guy comes out, makes sure it's a bike and not a tractor, honks the horn, and ask about the miles per hour, you tell him that you allready held the button down for two seconds and it reads in kilo per hour.
he completes the form, faxes it on your behalf, gives you another form for the registries.
-go to registries, with can tire form bill of sale, and insurance, transfer a plate or buy new, and your done.
SEVERAL GRAND in your pocket (minimum) I think it's worth the small hassle. just my $0.02
