It's still a problem even if you have a friend or relative in the US.
I have a good friend (riding buddy) who owns a house in Florida and goes down for most of the winter. My bike is currently there and i will make a couple of trips down through the winter to go riding. I tried on numerous occasions to order from Surdyke and have the parts/accessories shipped to his house. I even have his US address as one of my "ship to" addresses on PayPal.
Problem comes up when I go to pay as my Canadian Credit Card is tied to my PayPal account and it immediately kicks out the order...damn!
Only way around this would be to acquire a US Credit Card with a US address tied to it as another poster has suggested.

I wonder if you could just get a Visa gift card bought in the states then ship it to FL. That should work and you don't have to apply for a card.
Newcastle told me that they are being audited continually and had been fined $7000.00 lately for unknowingly selling out of their area. I didnt believe them at first but after some research on the net it seems others are in the same boat. I will still continue to cross the border to other dealers but wont be as cheap as Newcastle but still cheaper than up here.
Lots of good responses including the bieber stuff (we dont want him either). I do have a us address in the falls and had my us credit card address changed as well but they still were able to tell. I've had good luck and treatment at American HD and seen as it only takes about an hour to get there thats where I'll have to shop. I should stop at Clares on the way back with all my parts and show Randy (Clares owner) how Deely is screwing him and me.
