I was advised by CBSA they would harass me for the rest of my life, I brought that up in court and they haven't. I will say one thing about U.S. border guards and that is they are always professional. Have never encountered angry, mean or stupid agents. Back in the '70s, it used to be the US Customs guys who gave me a hard time crossing back into the US from Canada. Getting into Canada was a breeze. This past Memorial weekend, I was headed for Osoyoos, BC, with a group of 7 friends on our bikes. I was in the lead. We crossed at a little border crossing at Midway, BC. This crossing is only open between 9 and 5. We got there around 4:30. I got a major grilling that included a question why I was crossing at that particular spot. "Well, it's because I met my friends in Wilbur, down the road 80 miles and we also like riding these roads." He was probably just upset that he couldn't coast into closing time without having to clear a bunch of motorcyclists who showed up at the last minute.
