I'm surprised to see this thread still going. I live in Ontario and had my bike thrown in the back of a cop car, never to be seen again. I was charged with Drive while Disqualified as well as No insurance and was given a total of $1350 in fines after the Crown lowered the charges to "Drive without Licence" for pleading guilty. If it has a motor-it is a "motor vehicle". There is no "grey zone".
If it has a gas motor you need everything that goes with driving a "motor Vehicle". Period.
