Passport

Hi ,
The rules are changing. I THINK in July we will need passports to cross even by road. It's getting back into the US you need to worry about.
Canada is once again on sale 30cents on the $ makes my Florida trip a bit ovebudget already and I have not left yet
see XS North in July if you want to come and visit.

It dose not matter before or after expect some trouble coming back I watch them get in to Brent's & Mart's bike like he was carrying a lb of dope in their bags, and the next time we were waved in .

Passport coming!

As has been said before....Prior to June 1st 2009 you do not need a passport to leave the US or return unless its by air travel. After June 1st 2009 A Passport will be required to cross and return to your country of origin regardless of how you travel... Since I anticipate a couple trips to Ontario this year, I went ahead and applied for my Passport...it'll be here in 2 weeks.

I'm not to sure on that. Last year we were told we'd need Passports this year. It would be safer to check with some one in the know better then we seem to be. If you make it this far you can hook up with Brent and I. Now for the plug re order your shirts sent a bunch of emails only got a few answers.

Looks like the rules change June 1st. You may be able to get into the US for XSEast without a Passport but may need one to go back.

Hello? HELLOOOO??

We're not going to Canada. Of course, you're free to go wherever you like, but none of our routes cross the border.

[madbiker]

only if you want back in the states and right now I'm not sure where its better.

Drivers license , birth certificate, social security card, the more you have the easier time you'll have crossing. I have a passport which makes crossing a breeze! Hope you can make it, we had a blast last year!
Means you can get in to Canada ,
but might mean you stay in Canada too.

You make that sound like a bad thing!

Don't worry about it, we'll be in VT, NH, MA. No international border crossings during the rally.

Ooooh man... I smell a leave form that I need to fill out... Are we expecting warm weather up there at that time?

SCORE! So something as simple as a driver's license or social security card would do the trick, then? I'm gonna have to seriously look into this... even if it is a 500 mile ride just to get there! Maybe if I decide to go, I could meet up with MadBiker (and Brent) and we could ride up together.

None go into Canada but a bunch of Canadians are attending!

At this point in time you only need proof of identity to cross the border by land. If you are flying in or out then you need a passport!

Do any of these routes go into Canada? As in, would I need a passport to participate?
