Sunday ride & Canadian Customs at Niagra Falls

[Haze]

I rode to Niagara Falls on Sunday to test the Spyder (496 miles), to experience passage thru Canadian Customs and to get pictures of the Canadian side of the falls.
Absolutely magnificent view of the river and falls.



No issues going to Canada thru Niagara or coming back thru Buffalo. I was asked for my passport. Didn't have to take my helmet off. Also asked if I own a gun or carrying any defensive weapons. (No, not that I carry). Asked if I knew my license plate number as it is obscured by my trailer hitch. No issue. Agent walked around the bike to get the number. Very courteous and friendly agents. I will have the number on a sticky note tucked in my passport next time. Paid $3.75 (EZ Pass) to cross on the Rainbow bridge at Niagara to Canada. Fabulous ride on the Canadian side from Niagara to Buffalo. Crossed back to the US on the Peace bridge. It was a cold ride and a GREAT day.

I grew up in Buffalo, and me and my friends used to ride our bicycles over the Peace Bridge and ride to the falls. Much better view on the Canadian side. Lots of little parks and shopping over there too.

I have twice crossed the Peace bridge by car and driven to the falls on their side. The lazy pace through beautiful homes, and the view of the clear rushing water of the river, are a sight to remember for a lifetime!

When we crossed (from a different point) both the wife and I had to remove our helmets.

Glad you had an uneventful trip! You should have stopped in, I'm about an hour east of where you cross into Canada.
