Well maybe. Let me take that same rig down a BC road

Lets see? Slim very attractive young lady with a pretty smile obviously a friendly and outgoing adventurist. I can see how she would get treated like a friend.
Lets put a big ugly fat hairy guy like me on that road and see if they feel the same toward me...

 

I was thinking the same thing, she would not do well to come down here by herself on any back roads..."strange folk" might take a peculiar interest in her bike and bike gear and see what they would get out of it at the local pawn then take a second look at her and well...hope she has some mace or a carry permit.

 

I don't think they are allowed to carry in Canada are they , eh?
