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.
You are good to go as far as it concerns Legalities.
However the "Kolpin" case might be a bit obvious. Perhaps something else is a bit better suited for the Eyes of the General Public.
