Topic: price diff Us/Can.

I live right near the border and I am always trolling CL. Funny how a bike that would get $1000 at the most down here , goes for 2200 up there. I dont get it. Its the same bike. I have to get used to B.C. prices now, but sheesh. Its crazy. I mean a piece of  crap early 80's butt ugly cruiser style , be it a magna, LTD, etc. still ask for 1800 and up. Why??

It's just geography. Come to Alberta to shop for bikes and you'll appreciate the "cheap deals" to be found in B.C. for m  otorcycles.

I remember when I first started dating my wife (she is canadian) the differenc in the USD vs CAD was .67 and everything else being equal, Canada was a freakin bargain. In 1998 we went to Big White for three days of boarding. With the multi-day pass,the exchange rate, and a student discount I paid $13/day! Now its $80 USD.  Now that the USD/CAD are on par, the price difference between here and there is killer, that's why all the BCers are coming down here to shop.
