traveling with "power of attorney" in the Americas?
Am I likely to encounter problems riding a bike registered in someone else's name, if I have made up a "power of attorney" letter (English and Spanish) where the registered owner gives me carte blanche to "borrow" the bike, and have it signed and notarized by him with notarized copies of his passport?
Would this pass muster at Latin American border crossings?
The situation is this: I'm currently living (as a Canadian) in Korea and have a Korean car/motorcycle license. A friend is holding a bike for me in Alberta, Canada. To register the bike in my name there, I'd need to swap my Korean license for an Alberta license (since I'd need insurance to register the bike, which I can't get in my name without an Alberta motorcycle license). But Alberta won't swap for a Korean motorcycle license, only car, so I'd need to do a motorcycle test.
The harder nut, however, is simply proving Alberta residency for them to swap the license to begin with (seems they've really cracked down on what they'll accept in terms of proof of residency; I could get creative with that, but it still might not fly).
