Touring in Canada

[TCFA]

Has anybody done a trip in Canada, and have any advice, tips, cool stories etc? Advice on shipping a bike over and back also greatly appreciated

I'm hoping to go touring there for 4 weeks in July / August 2020. I've heard that there is now a RORO service to transport the bike to Halifax on a vehicle transporter rather than freighting more traditionally.

I might consider dropping into the USA for a bit if anyone has advice on border crossings / visas for the USA and whether it would be a ballache with a UK bike.

Looking forward to your tips and stories

I shipped RORO to Halifax in June last year.

It's expensive, for only four weeks consider renting. It's going to cost you near on £2000 all in to get the bike there and back, insurance is a pain too.

Never had any issues on the road, didn't get stopped once, and that was with an antisocial big single on a loud pipe.

I then went into America and shipped back from LA.

Canada is great. Everyone is really friendly.

A couple of years ago Richy Vida did a big US tour starting in Canada, they flew the bikes over in a crate and I think it wasn't as much as you'd expect - he'd give you advice.

Unfortunately all the images in that thread are broken.

There's this thread as well:

I am crazy about to travel to Canada because it is a really very good place for tourism because my friend always talks about the beauty of Canada they talk about its outstanding hotel and beautiful beaches and amazing food. I like to get information about vacation packages can anybody help to guide related information and I also like to visit Canada with my loving bikes how can I book my bike for Canada and make my journey memorable.

I would also recommend renting a bike instead of shipping yours. It is very expensive - especially for only 4 weeks.

I'm also looking for a bike trip in Canada and the US and we are going to rent bikes in Canada, bike, cross the border and bike in the US and drop them off again in Canada. This seems to be the cheapest way, at least that's what I found.

I only saw a dokumentation about a ride in Canada. But it looked amazing so I try to do a tour on my own after corona.
