    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hello I am wondering if there is a member in the Blaine WA area who may have a secure spot I could leave a bike for about 5days until the customs paperwork clears and I can get it into Canada? I found some "services" but they're a little steep for my budget. Thanks.

Hey Andrew, why don't you have Seawings bring it over here for you? They have a depot in Blaine. They do bikes and it would be a lot less hassle for you. I would help you any way I could on this side.
ps what did you buy????
 
Thanks Trevor. Honestly the only hassle is finding the storage - the actual import export part is dead easy. I may just talk to the guy at the Mustang place in Blaine. I left a gigantic step van in his lock up years ago. I could also just BC plate it and leave it on a street for 5 days.
I haven't bought it yet but I am heading down to Yakima to check it out with a trailer in tow tomorrow.

Hello Carter. Bellingham would be great. I am sending you a PM.
 
So Carter graciously offered to provide me covered storage in Bellingham. However with the weirdness of the whole deal - odd seller and my sinus' about to crack the top of my skull with the change from sea level to a mere 3400' - the timing just didn't work. A friend from BCsportbikes suggested I check out "The Smugglers Inn Bed and Breakfast" in Blaine. As it turns out they provide uncovered storage for $5/a day and covered for $10/day. The best part - security is provided by US Customs and Border Protection... There are cameras EVERYWHERE. haha.
