I've googled this and gotten conflicting results, so asking here seemed better.

Say I go and buy a used bike from someone then have them ride it to my place to park. Call up the insurance company, and head down to SO with the paperwork.

Will I be able to ask them for a 10d permit then to take the bike to a mechanic for a safety inspection?
 
Yes. I did that last year.

Seller sent the bike to my place by tow truck. I insured the bike that same day.
Two or three days after I went to SO to get it registered under my name. They gave me my license plate and a temporary sticker, which if I don't remember wrong is valid for 10 days from the moment you register your bike.
A few days later, I rode the motorcycle to the shop to get the safety done.
The next day I returned to SO to provide the safety certificate. You keep the same plates, but I think they give you a new permit (however, this last part I don't remember quiete well.)

Correct, and you can do this twice for the same bike. Just asked last week. Meaning you can get a 10 day permit for the same plate on 2 different occasions.

This indeed is what they do, but I'm curious what they do now to cover up the big red "T" (temporary) sticker, now that you don't get a expiry date sticker to put over it anymore. I wouldn't want to be riding around with a "T" sticker on my plate for any length of time, that would increase your heat score. And getting these stickers off typically damages the plate...ask me how I know.

You try your best to rip it off, fail horribly, and have a mess of pieces of that sticker forever. But seriously, just use goo gone and a razor.

What i would do instead...
Get CAA membership including car and motorcycle.120$. You get 4 tows a year upto 200km per tow. Once you find a motorcycle your interested in either have it towed to shop or your home for safety preparation and back to shop. Leaving you with 2 or 3 tows reminder on your CAA account for peace of mind.

Remember that is for 10 consecutive days. I had a buddy who was playing fast and loose with the law who managed to get about out of his "10 day" permit. He was great guy who is missed dearly but it wasn't always wise to follow his lead. Interesting yes, wise no.

I had a buddy years ago that had tons of cash that he was always trying to hide from the government and he was literally running out places in his house to put. He was always worried about a break in and. safes are too obvious. Someone advised him to get a CAA membership with one of the benefits being that you get American Express Travellers Cheques at no charge. He converted all his cash to Travellers Cheques and just kept a pile of them in a drawer.Like the commercial said “ If they’re lost or stolen you can get them replaced the same day.”. Not sure if Travellers Cheques even exist anymore.

I tried the razor blade trick on one of my plates a few years ago and it took the actual plate material off as well right down to the bare aluminum. Looked like **** afterwards, I wish I'd left the sticker on, but it was around the time that people were getting pulled over in Quebec and NY for "expired" stickers, so it seemed prudent to get them off the bike.

With the ever expanding increase in ALPR (automated plate readers) on cruisers everywhere, the stickers and everything mean basically nothing anymore, the ALPR scans the plate and checks the MTO database to see if the plate is actually validated. 30 days into a 10 day temp plate, or $1000 in parking tickets so your plate didn't get renewed automatically in douggies new system? The ALPR is going to ping on you and the cop may decide to pull you over and ticket you accordingly.

Interesting premise. Just checked, Amex isn't issuing them any longer but still validates and pays on old ones. That may not be forever though - seems a lot of other banks and places that used to issue them started invalidating unused ones making them worthless. Seems to be to be a dodgy approach should Amex quietly announce that "all of them expire in 90 days, cash in now or forever lose your money" and he misses that announcement.

I don't know if they still exist. In the few times that I had them, they were a huge pain to use or convert to cash. ID checks, need an account at the bank, etc. They just did everything in their power for the money to be trapped in that piece of paper. They are also beaten up my inflation.

Buying gold is better for almost every reason. If he has huge money to store offline, 12.5kg gold bars are about $1.8M cad per bar. They aren't hard to hide. They are at least inflation protected and often rise faster than that. For most people, they would be better served with smaller pieces as selling millions worth of gold at once is more likely to set a flag.
 
I'd just us e a loop of painter's tape on the back of the unpeeled sticker. That will last for 10 days easily, and then just as easily come off when it expires. I did the same to attach fugly reflectors to my forks when I imported my bike and needed to pass RIV inspection (well, I stuck them on in the parking lot just before the inspection.

Make sure you make your safety appointment before getting the permit in case you need to wait longer than 10 days, especially at this time of year.

This was in the eighties when travellers cheques and paying with cash was quite common. I don’t think most merchants were even using debit cards at the time, just credit cards. My friend would just go to various local builders supply businesses, he’d buy something for $20 (that he was going to anyway) with a $100 travellers cheque and walk out with $80 cash. He threw tons of business their way and they knew him so everyone was happy. I have another great money laundering story about a guy I knew that owed a Satan’s Choice member (aka Hell’s Angels) some money. He paid the guy $15,000 in counterfeit US money without telling him. The Satan’s Choice guy gives the counterfeit money to his mom to deposit at the bank to launder it. The mom gets arrested for passing counterfeit money and lets just say it didn’t end too well for my friend. Sorry to get off topic here but it’s such a great story and I love telling it.
 
Where do you get safety certificate these days? Is it still CrappyTire?

On a bike? Call ahead for canadian tire as most of them only have one or two techs that are willing to perform a safety on a bike. Obviously any bike shop can do it (but they'll be crazy busy right now). I think theoretically any auto shop can do it but many don't want to.

You'll get more recommendations if you post your general location and a travel radius. For me, I only used one place, but they're no longer in business. What you really want to be asking is for recommendations on a place that will do a proper safety without holding you hostage for unnecessary work.
