Help needed at Vancover international airport YVR

Mark,

Sorry I can't help you out, but I'm intrigued to know how a 'bike' can catch mad cow disease?

What are the symptons does it start wandering all over the road or something?

You mean I'm going to have to give up 'bikes' as well as beef now!

Julian

We Canadians are fussy about importation of things that may have been on a farm in a country that has known farm disease issues that could result in a shut-down of our beef exports to our largest customer.

It's not just us either. Try to bring an orange in your car across the border into the US.

I wish I could help Mark, but I'm 2000 miles east.

Spot on Mark, either that or they were having fun messing up my vacation!

Two bikes arrived from Manchester Friday night, one owned by a English couple starting their vacation, the other owned by a American finishing his vacation. For some reason customs made a "mistake" and let the English couple through without a inspection, but they discovered the error of their way and impounded mine pending inspection! Needless to say, I pleaded my case, but it fell on deaf ears, I fly back out tomorrow morning, to try and straighten this mess out.

Cheers Mark 6808

Mark:

Herman, a GT5 owner who posts here as GT5KR, works at YVR. He is a terrific guy. Send him a private message and see if maybe he can help you out.

If that does not work, PM me and I can put you in touch with some other Pantera owners living close to YVR.

It would be OK if it said SUNKISSED on it.

The US-Canadian border is always a crap shoot.
Just be happy that you don't resemble a "most wanted". No need to go into detail here.

Thanks guys, the situation is resolved. The bike and I are back home in sunny southern California. 1400 miles in 2 days Ugh!

Cheers Mark
