ICBC has a territory option for folks like us who are from B.C. but not in Canada or the continental US where ICBC covers you. What is likely needed is simply proof that the bike/vehicle is yours. Current registration is what they look for. They do not want to insure stolen vehicles obviously
To get this you need to contact the head office. Local brokers DO NOT know about this. I think it is Territory "9" if I remember right.
Also, if you have this territory designation you CANNOT travel in ANY area covered by ICBC.
As the previous poster has hinted at, you can also simply get a refund from ICBC once you are out of ICBC covered areas. If you were traveling south a copy of your Temporary Importation Permit from Mexico along with receipts and so on to substantiate the claim work.
Coming to Europe I suspect that a copy of the bill of lading for shipment of the bike with the bike serial number of course and then the Green Card should be sufficient for such a refund. This refund will not be given until either you are back in ICBC covered areas and have proof of your return or after the current insurance expires. Be aware that they do not refund for periods of less than 30 days.
