Do I need valid Canadian Insurance.... ARISA says yes??
Here are a series of email between ARISA and me in the last day:
From ARISA:
Your motorcycle insurance was expired in 14 Jun 2012.
The documents of your motorcycle must be updated before we can provide a green card insurance.
Please send us documents with valid date.
From me:
That date of June 14 2012 on my Ownership paper was the Canadaian Insurance expiry date I had bought in Canada. It is not valid in Europe. Any insurance I buy in Canada is for Canada only and not valid in Europe. The green card Insurance gives me liability insurance in the EU countries. I cannot buy Green Card Insurance in Canada that is why I must buy it in Europe from ARISA. You will see on the green card 1 PDF copy of last years Green card that I had coverage for 2 months from May 05 2012 to July 04 2012. I would now like to purchase it again from March 27 2013 to June 26 2013. I hope this is clear now.
Last year March 15 I bought the 2003 goldwing locally that I shipped to Europe. The BC Insurance Corporation of BC (ICBC) rep said that the BC insurance was not valid in Europe and made a point of putting that on my file. I had bought 3 months ICBC insurance from March 15 to June 14 because I need to ride the bike around and maybe to Vancouver when it would be shipped. On may 6 the bike arrived in Frankfurt and I insured it until July 4 , three months. I got to Portugal and stored the bike on July 4 and flew home July 6. I have attached my ownership and green card scans.
I sent these plus id etc to ARISA insurance in LUxemburg
here is a one day back and forth

From ARISA:
Without an intact insurance in Canadian we are not able to provide an green card insurance for Europe.
