Ownership isn't the problem
Hi Asaf,
The problem isn't so much the ownership of the bike it is the registration. I assume when you bought the bike you got a bill of sale, this is your proof of ownership.
Registering the bike in Canada would be fairly straightforward if you were here but is terribly difficult if you are not. We even had difficulty getting a new Alberta licence plate when Audrey's was stolen in Germany and only managed to get one because we had signed a form before we left authorising someone to do it on our behalf.
Registering the bike where you are could also be challenging as you would be importing the bike to that country and would have to pay duties.
Sorry I haven't got any better answers. Maybe Mountain Man from BC will chip in and provide some comments. He has a couple of bikes with odd registrations. :-)
