Wondering if anyone tuned in has biked north across the border with bear spray, declared it, and was able to keep it. Did it work for you or did it not, when heading north? Should work for me, I bought the stuff up there a little more than a year ago.
Sounds like a mirror will be a must given the chip trucks and thanks for the insight on being pulled over for speeding Big Lew. Good to keep in mind. Did that just turn out to be a nice conversation…or worse?
When I heard his siren and then saw his flashing lights, I removed my speedometer and stuck it in my pants. I said that I really didn't know how fast I was going but he noticed the empty bracket and stared at me for awhile. He then said that if there was even one child near the road I would be receiving at least one ticket, possibly 2, (speeding and undue care ) and at my age I should have known better. I thanked him for his descretion and he then asked me all about my journey. (I think he was a rider as well, lucky for me)
