Help-Buying an Ontrario Bike in Germany
I'm buying a pristine Ontario registered KLR 650 from a buddy who has ended his ride in Germany. Here's the problem, to transfer title over to me (also an Ontario resident) I am being told by Service Ontario (Dept of Motor Vehicles) there is no way around the need to have the bike safetied in Ontario at an approved site.
I thought a German dealer could fill in the Ontario inspection form and use an affidavit to verify completion to satisfy the requirement but no go. This can't be the first time this has happened with all the Canadian ADV traffic over to the EU.
I'm looking for ideas, advice and options from the HUBB on where to go from here.
The only advice I have so far is to register the bike in an EU country using the address of my family in the UK or close friends in Belgium/Switzerland but have not followed up and am not sure I can do this as a non resident.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
G.
