I think I'd just go down there with an angle grinder and a wrench set and non-reversibly dissect it for the parts I want (ie, nearly everything except the frame); spray everything with Gunk, sprinkle it with dust and throw it all into oil-stained cardboard boxes. Then bring it all across the line as scrap metal, not a motorcycle. However, the local Ural dealer has a used '06 Ural Tourist with 11k Km for $8800. Doing the math and factoring in a lot of fuss and bother to change motors, the Ural might be a better way to go. And yet I see all these blogs where guys do amazing work building a show bike out of some rusted horror found in a wrecking yard. Maybe the best (and easiest) solution is just to leave the Dnepr the way it is and trailer it down the hwy to where I want to ride. There are wilderness logging roads to explore all over BC. It took me a while (and $) to discover that my eyes are bigger than my project capacity, and I'd rather be riding than wrenching (unless I'm highly motivated, such as with the Bonneville). SQ

I can't imagine Customs allowing someone to bring a complete bike across the border without a title. He might be able to take the motor out and just bring it across the border, but without a title I doubt they will let him bring a complete bike across.

What you need to do is move to a colder climate where you can't ride for seven friggin months of the year. You will have all kinds of time for the wrenching, as long as you have a heated garage. |
