BIKEOI spare pillion and/or bike thread.

[DMCD]

Please post here if you have a spare bike or pillion space for riders and supporters who would like to join but either don't have a bike or have a bike incapable of making the long trip.

Please also post here if you are said rider or supporter who needs a hand.

I will edit this post with a bikers with spare pillion, supporters in need of spare pillion, bikers with spare bike and bikers in need of spare bike sections.

I think it goes without saying but i will say it anyway, if you are riding pillion or using someone ride you must have the appropriate safety gear.

A good point made by Nasty:

If you are not used to having a pillion this is not a chance to step up and try. Being a large ride there are a huge number of risks involved in the group riding. This is a not a practice ground.

Excellent plan

At this stage I might be in two categories - it looks like I will be flying from Auckland to Wellington around that date, so
a) My Volty will be available for someone who's really keen to ride a 250cc single to Wellington and
b) I will be in Wellington without a bike.

I will confirm my plans closer to the time, but great idea with this thread!

Thanks,

I have put you in the "Bikers in need of spare bike" category unless you are just after pillion seat or either?

[DMCD]

I'm not entirely sure if bumping is permitted but I guess I will find out.

Great idea - this should be made a sticky on the resource thread perhaps.

Thank's, it would be nice so it doesn't get lost in the sea of threads.

[nudedaytona]

I will be flying into Wellington as well, so I need a spare bike or pillion too. Cheers.

I've got a spare seat but it's an R1 so he/she would have to be pretty damn petite. Im based in Auckland.

Thanks wingrider, I will take you up on this kind offer.

DMCD, could you please update the first post to reflect this? I look forward to seeing that post growing with the various happy combinations of bikes, riders & pillions. Great job.
