[QUOTE="yamafitter, post: 809368, member: 15141"] You need to be careful about this. I'm not sure what the rules are for an American crossing the border on a Canadian registered vehicle but one of the rules for a Canadian crossing back into Canada with a rental registered in USA is that we have to pay the GST (Goods & Services Tax) on the value of the vehicle at the border which is about $350 on a used 650 KLR. I was going to rent a bike in Anchorage and ride it to Dawson City and then up the Dempster in the North-West Territories until I found this out. You would think you could get the money back when you returned the bike to the States but I'm being told that the boys in Ottawa keep the money. Bastards. [/QUOTE]
