Leon and list
Do all you guys have clean criminal records? At the No Dak and Minnesota
(Manitoba) checkpoints they turn away lots of people as "inadmissables" ..
Accordingly if you have anything on your record that is a felony in canada
they won't let you in. DWI/DUI, certain reckless driving charges, speeding
(20mph or more), simple assault, any domestic issues even if it was'nt your
fault, and all kinds of other things. Most of these type charges are
misdemeanors in the states, but felonies in Canada..
It seems they start with license plate to find out who owns the vehicle and
it goes from there. This has been the norm for about 4 yrs.

maybe they are rmad about SoDak prohibiting truckers from hauling canadian
beef thru So Dak.

Either I'm really bad, or other checkpoints are a lot slacker.

 I second Joe's recomendaton. I go into Canada once or
twice a week (three times this week - Toronto
Motorcycle Show is on). The Canadans never give you
any trouble, unlike the people who work for me. Just
have some form of government issued photo
identificaton if you are a citizen of one of the
several states in the U.S.A.

Be prepared to have all of your shit gone through
with a fine tooth
comb; I've heard from several people that going
into Canada on a bike is
an experience they won't repeat.
