Answer is still: "NO!"

 

[ChopperHead]

I wasnt talking to you i was answering the guy who said that you cant justify transporting a dirtbike for your own personal use.


and since the answer is obvisouly NO! as you so nicely put it George

has to do with their Constitution, one of their amendments states they are to have motorcycles at every bend for liberty and....

'cause....after World War II we learned the lesson, and still remember it, that there was only one way to Kill Canadian soldiers:  Withdraw and leave behind Whiskey and Motorbikes.  The Canadians will come in and drink the Whiskey and kill themselves on the Motorbikes.

The guys riding dirtbikes is not just rumour, I've seen it on a FOB.

The locals had the usual CD shop but they also sold new Chinese motorcylces for $600 and scooters for $300. Guys would use them to cruise around the FOB. Other notable rides included captured BMWs and a police car. ;D

Well,
actually Cf policy overseas reference motorcycles/seadoos/4 wheelers/scooters is kinda the following: Don't do anything stupid that can get you hurt, and it includes the rental of those vehicles (you know when you go on R&R). The higher ops mention it before you go. People have a "couple" of drinks to relax and stuff, not the time to get involved  in an accident (lawsuits or injuries), or getting killed in a motor vehicle!  And if you get caught renting that stuff, I don't think you'd get away with it. There is MP's and higher ops on site to make sure that everybody is OK, not getting in trouble.

If the American do it on tour (buying their own bikes and stuff), good for them.

Imagine checking out at the front gate, telling the boys that you,re going out to do a couple of "wheelies"!!!

With envy from us land ops types you would be surprised of the type of creature comforts I have seen being loaded onto those grey whales (DDH, DDE) heading for Hawaii, Diego and lets not forgot the Rose Festival. It was a crying shame the designers of the AVGP did not include a mountain bike rack or hold downs for golf bags. I even know of two 250 cc D/P m/c's that have travelled to the above mentioned.

Yeah.  They take the nurses for rides on borrowed American dirt bikes.  Sometimes the nurses drive.
