Just curious about this Canadian tax thing, as I have heard this from others living in Canada that if they try and buy anything from the US they get screwed royally trying to get it sent there. What is the deal with that? Protectionist gov't? Why does the Canadian gov't care if you get a package from the US?

Unfortunitely, many products find there way to Canada via US distributors, whether they be produced in the US or elsewhere worldwide. Hence, we often pay duties and taxes twice on of off-shore origin. Our market just isn't large enough to support distributors who could buy direct from manufactures, wherever they may be.

a decent motorcycle shop may carry a good gear oil, a few of the smaller ones round here randomly carry amsoil products.
shaft driven bikes use 75-90 in the rear end... |
