VicMitch is entirely correct. This bike would be ideal for someone still in BC who can then take the new plates down on their flight, then send the old plates back for the previous owner to cancel.
ICBC generally does not need to see the vehicle for registration purposes but new owners must register in person and pay the appropriate tax fees and insurance.
BTW, if anyone heads south of the US border with a BC registered vehicle keep the TVIP document or receipts. By presenting it to ICBC you will get a refund for the time the bike was outside of their insurance coverage area (Canada and Mainland US). I did this on my 2010 Central America trip and to the best of my knowledge that still applies.
