Having the same issue regarding the US insurance, we were planning to ship our bikes to Anchorage and start our trip the 21st of August. I know some brokers are working on a new insurance program for foreigners, just hoping it will work out before we ship our motorbikes.
In trying to get the insurance sorted, I came across a story of somebody from New Zealand who insured their bike in Canada with Peter Macdonald Insurance, based in Vancouver. They also had the possiblity of making the insurance valid in the US, for a small surcharge.
I gave them a call yesterday, but they said they needed to see the bikes before they could give any insurance. If your plan was to start in Vancouver it might be a possibilty for you, but I'm not sure if you would get any issue driving the bike from the airport to their office etc. It seems pretty risky to ship the bikes without having the insurance arranged beforehand, but still thought I'd share.
Best of luck.
