Simple. Straightforward.
No Runaround.
Getting your motorcycle appraised shouldn't be complicated. Here's exactly what happens from the moment you reach out to the moment you have documentation in hand.
You Reach Out
Call Ron directly at 604-307-7564 or fill out the order form on this site. Tell him about your bike — what it is, what's been done to it, what you need the appraisal for. No sales pitch, no nonsense. Just a straight conversation about your machine.
You Send Your Info & Photos
Online and long distance appraisals are our specialty. You'll send clear photos of the bike from all angles, plus any documentation you have — receipts for parts, build sheets, title, anything that tells the story of your motorcycle. The more detail, the more accurate the appraisal.
We Do the Research
This is where nearly four decades of experience kicks in. Ron researches comparable bikes, evaluates your specific modifications and aftermarket parts using real industry data, and establishes a defensible fair market value. Not a guess — an accurate number backed by methodology that holds up in insurance disputes, estates, and courts.
You Get Your Appraisal Document
You receive a formal appraisal document that establishes the fair market value of your motorcycle. It's written to be understood by insurance companies, banks, lawyers, and estate administrators — while still being clear to you as the owner. This is the document that protects you.
Why Do You Need an Appraisal?
Insurance Coverage
Standard insurance policies are often based on book value — which has nothing to do with what your custom build is actually worth. A formal appraisal makes sure your bike is covered for its real value, not some adjuster's lowball number.
Insurance Disputes
When an insurance company tries to settle your claim for less than your bike is worth, a professional appraisal is your strongest tool. Our appraisals are recognized by ICBC and recommended by multiple BC insurers.
Estate Settlements
When a biker passes, their estate needs an accurate value for their motorcycle. We provide formal documentation that satisfies estate administrators and legal requirements across Canada and the USA.
Equity & Financing
Using your bike as collateral or documenting your investment? A formal appraisal is often required and always useful for establishing equity with banks and lenders.
Buying or Selling
Know what you're getting into. Whether you're buying a custom build or selling one you've built, an independent appraisal protects both parties and gives buyers confidence.
Because You Want to Know
Bragging rights count. Knowing exactly what your machine is worth — not guessing, but actually knowing — is a legitimate reason to get it appraised. We don't judge.
