I must admit, it is tempting, but is everybody gonna ride back on it as well?
Can there be a pillion take on this, double the budget but must take a pillion and they must ride 50% of the way?

Only last week I narrowly missed out on a reasonable condition Honda VFR400 NC30 that needed a set of carbs or the current ones ultrasonic cleaning; it sold for 250 quid also.

There are loads of cheap bikes out there if you search them out.

YOU KNOW IT MAKES SENSE

Gem n Lisa at the finish point for bacon butties A week away for the girlies n a total buzz for the participants. Even on a fast bike i`d go for days, need to drink your own bodyweight in beer every night

I was thinking of getting a Darth Vadar mask to mod onto my helmet and get the cape and so on to match

eBay is pulling up gems, if anyone is considering this far too seriously... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/barn-find-...#ht_500wt_1156

Good question.

I would say the budget remains, but can't see sharing the riding a problem. To be fair I doubt anyone would object with just having a passenger. Would be useful if they knew their way round a set of spanners though...
