I had just stashed my gun and pepper spray several miles before hitting the Canadian Border several years back. The Border guard asked if I had any weapons and I was telling him I had hid them back down the road. He was then asking why I carry them. I told him the Pepper spray was for Animals that deserved a 2nd chance.. The Gun was for Humans whom should know better. -- Best Regards & Happy Trails Andy Chesley @ 57 and ticking in Jennings in SW Louisiana Y2KLR650 @ 7+K sMiles 97 R11RA (Amiga) @ 16+K sMiles So Many Roads, So Little Time http://members.deltech.net/aches/

Mike, This question comes up once in a while on the Baja page. The general feeling is that any thing that the authorities in Mexico perceive to be a weapon, is in fact a weapon. They will confiscate it and may be arrest you. I carry a Leatherman tool because the first thing you see is the pliers, not the knife blade. I also have a sling in my ABS tool carrier, but it is in two pieces and no one has noticed it. "Never trouble trouble and trouble will never trouble you". . . my Mom. George Escondido, CA

Going out on the beemer this morning but wanted to make one post on chains. My first KLR chain (stock) lasted 16,900 miles and was still looking good but I elected to replace it with sprockets also while getting ready to leave on a 3000 mile trip toIdaho and back. It only received wd-40, nothing more. The new one, RK XO, is getting one drop per o-ring, every 500 mi. of 20-50 oil from an old liquid wrench can, on the advice of a local mechanic who races his street legal GSXR. He says his GSXR chain has 20,000 miles on it and looks like new.
