Michigan/Canada border
Hows the security at the border these days?
Im visiting some family in the detroit area next week and am thinking i might ride into canada just to say i have. maybe stop by Thunder Road HD and pick up a tee shirt.
My question is do i need to bring my passport and expect huge delays crossing? Anything else? Is it a huge pain these days? if it is im not going to even bother. i used to live Michigan and i remember we used to just need an id and a bull shiz excuse to go drink legally.

Take a passport and you should be fine. Traffic across the Blue Water Bridge on weekends is not bad, it's the weekday commuter traffic that's a killer. You can also cross before the BW Bridge by taking the ferry at Marine City to the Canadian side. From there you can ride north and avoid the traffic.
If you want a good ride in that area, go to New Baltimore and ride north along the coast (Hwy 29) up to Port Huron. Eat lunch in Port Huron and then keep going north along Hwy 25 as far as you want. Plenty of places to stop and view Lake Huron. I used to live there and it's a great ride.

The Marine City ferry looks like a good option. Im just a little hesitant with this all because i don't really have a good reason to go into Canada and i can just see the look on a border patrol officers face when i tell him i just want to color the little piece in on my map!

Oh how the times have changed. I crossed the border two years ago and was grilled with 20 questions and HAD to have a passport.

It's worse now. You need a passport. Don't dare admit that you own any firearms if they ask you. They'll ask if you have any with you.. then they'll ask do you have them at home ? Make sure you answer NO !
