Transporting a rifle on a motorbike on public roads, legalities?

[Smiley]

Hello, everyone.

Please only reply if you KNOW the answer, conjecture may only confuse the issue

I have a dual purpose motorbike and wish to use it to get from my residence to the bush. My plan is then to do my usual walking hunt.
My question is: what do I have to do to legally transport my rifle on my motorbike while on public roads?
My plan is to mount a Kolpin case to the motorbike (behind me, pointing down at approx 45-60 degrees). The rifle would be unloaded, with the bolt removed, a trigger lock on, and the case locked. Once at my spot, I would make the rife functional and go for my walking hunt. This is what I currently do with my truck, the difference being that my rifle is not at all visible by other motorists while I am in transit.

A google search resulted in contradictory information.

Thank you in advance.

No issues, you’re doing everything correct and legal.

Why would the bolt be removed, and why have a trigger lock?

LEGALLY you can unload it and sling it over your shoulder and drive down the road with a non restricted firearm, as long as you are in control of the muzzle to ensure it never points at someone. This will draw police attention of course, but it’s legal transport.

So what you propose is legal as well. Although it may be easier to use a backpack with a rifle scabbard.

I have a better question: should you be successful, and I’m sure you will be, will you strap the buck to your handlebars? I carried my rifle in a soft case on my bike. No issues.

He can make the deer into a backpack and ride home. I would pay to see that in the Lower Mainland. https://youtu.be/5NnGJeIb-5g

I would trigger lock maybe, certainly not bolt removed and case locked in top of that. You’ll lose your keys one day. Or maybe the bolt.

Trigger lock is not required legally.
