As soon as it leaves your driveway you can go to the ministry and take it out of your name. I think at no cost.

Who pays for the safety/certification

Usually with the plate from your current bike. Totally illegal - works though.
Be honest WB they're fun to read!
But often dangerous to those that don't know any better.
I don't believe that you can do that. The bike would then be in nobody's name, it can't go in the buyers name until he goes and registers it and pays his HST....
They make a note in your file. I'm not sure of the logistics (ie whether it is still in your name with a note or whether it is in nobodies name). The note is valuable as it helps if your vehicle comes up in a questionable situation.
I think you can. As soon as you sign the back. That's how I remember it from SO.
I feel bad about my replies on this thread. I feel like I bashed Ted Roey too much.
Ted is a completely honest and trustworthy mechanic. He does good quality work.
He can be trusted, to give you an honest quote on repairs and then carry them out the way they should be done.
He's one of the few left standing who can fix something, rather than just replace it.
Which saves you money in the end.
Repair mechanics are very hard to find.
Replace had taken over the world. And I hate it.
I think he has replaced every tire I've put on my bikes for the last 20 years.

Yes, you can...I've done it. It became a thing for me when I went to renew my motorcycle plate a few years ago and was asked if I wanted a sticker for my Yamaha or my Honda.
I hadn't owned a Yamaha since the 90's at that point.
Turns out a bike I sold sometime in 1997 was still in my name and they would gladly sell me a sticker for the plate that was also long gone that still showed as attached to the bike in their system.
As was a camper I sold around 1999.
And my horse trailer I'd sold about 2 years earlier.
The bike was a basket case (shift fork was out of it) and probably was parted out. The camper, guessing it was towed into the woods somewhere and the new owner didn't way to pay the taxes. Ditto the bike. Horse trailer, who knows...
They have a little form you can fill out to declare you no longer own the vehicle and then they put it into an "orphan" status or something in their system so your liability ends at that moment in time.
Oh you definitely can. I've only done it once - generally I am willing to trust people, but I regretted selling a bike to this guy before he left my driveway. I couldn't make it to the
To be fair, the amount of actual liability you are exposed to is not very high. I can't even say if disavowing ownership does anything at all - you're still going to be the first point of contact if the unregistered vehicle gets used in an armed robbery and abandoned. It does feel reassuring though
I think the benefit comes more from letting gov't know that your plate is officially no longer attached to a vehicle. That way when your plate gets a huge 407 bill, you have better luck fighting off the crooks. Yes, you could return your plate for even more security on that front but I often like to keep them.
Those plates are reusable. Had the same one on a bunch of bikes but it couldn't take the abuse of being bolted to my DRZ and bailed somewhere on the trail....
Um? Might be why he got his ability to write safeties checked?
I thought he got dinged for doing safeties off-site. Now, I think that's a stupid rule and appreciate him helping people out but gov't doesn't like you calling them stupid.
I know Ted got done for for doing "off site" safeties at least once.
The problem with "off site" safeties is a liability issue.
The "business" entity gets licensed to write safeties, not the mechanic. The business insurance covers what the business entity does at a defined business address.
Getting business liability insurance for a mobile repair business is surprisingly difficult.
