Can someone going through bankruptcy procedures keep both a family van and a motorbike, if together they are not worth $5000?

Barton Goth, GCO Inc. Bankruptcy Trustees said...

No, you are entitled to keep a vehicle, but a motorbike is considered a recreational vehicle and something that you are not able to protect. The 2 things you can do to keep the motorcycle are to file bankruptcy and repurchase the motorcycle by providing the fair market value of the bike into your trustee or file a consumer proposal in which you offer your creditors.

For more details on these you should contact a licensed trustee in your area as there can be significant differences regions.
