AFAIR, Ukraine was the only border crossing in recent memory of maybe 50 or so where I had to show actual originals of my bike documents. No one else has noticed or cared that I'm using photocopies and/or (at the moment) long-expired docs.

Agree about the flat and boring roads and police...
I actually got into Ukraine with a photocopy, although it was a color photocopy on thick paper which I had embossed with some kind of seal. While it looked real, the border guy spent about 15 minutes looking at it under what I think was an infrared lamp, he didn't seem to be able to find what he was looking for. He asked me if this was the only document I had for the bike, and I said "yes" and got in. Would have been easier to use the real thing.
One other thing about Ukraine--don't get a "transit" visa, because you need to specify where you'll leave the country--they almost wouldn't let me out of the country when I showed up at the wrong border post! I think if you get a "tourist" visa you don't have the same restriction.
