Hey whats up guys. Im from Mass down here in the US. How are the tracks up there. I know Im not too far from Mosport, Shannonville & Calabogie. It would be a shorter drive for me to come up there for trackdays/race, then to drive to some of the tracks south of me. I just like to hit as many tracks as possible and I know those three are within 8 hours of where I am. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

c'mon up!
Shannonville - between belleville and kingston - 4 possible track configurations, some tight and technical, others fast and flowy - lots of track days here
Mosport - outside toronto - this is known as the BIG TRACK - intimidating for beginners but fun for the experienced - really fast (6th gear back straight) with fast off-camber corners - has it all
Cayuga (toronto motorsports park) - outside hamilton - nice little track, very much like shannonville
Calabogie - outside Ottawa - beautiful brand new track , more of a car than bike track in my opinion - walls too close to the track
Mt Tremblant - Quebec - euro-style through the forest type track - very scenic, with fast flowing lines.

It's amazing how a country's tracks cause such a difference in that nation's superbike and supersport series. In one country, Brand A is running away with the series on short, technical tracks, while in another country with long, flowing tacks, they can't get a podium. Off topic but an observation I wanted to make.

Of Course you could check out "AMP". (Atlantic Motorsport Park).
It's a stop on the Parts Canada Super Bike Series.
In fact it was a double header part of the series last season.

Would the guards let a truck with a motorcycle in it cross the border without paying some kind of duty/fee?

What would be the difference between that and pulling a boat?
Nothing..............
I used to live in WPG and now in MO, Have taken the boat up there a few times...no extra fees

shouldnt be a problem - just make sure you have your bike's paperwork with you: ownership, insurance, even bill of sale if you still have it. Usually there is only an issue when you return to your own country - they want to know if you purchased it while you were visiting and then you would owe duty, etc.
coming over to canada the guards may want to see the ownership just to make sure you are not bringing a stollen bike across to sell or whatever.
ive never brought my own bike across the border but people i know have and they have never had an issue.
