Brass Monkey 2017 - Which bike would you take?

[Berries]

What do you reckon?

I don't think the type of bike really matters. Yes it will be cold but it won't be like 10" of snow on SH85. Might get a bit slippy underfoot in the paddock but you can get off and push there.

If you are serious about buying for the short term then think colour. I reckon pink would be good for someone who wants to ride for miles in the cold so they can stand in a freezing paddock next to someone else with a beard to talk about the colour of the bike they turned up on that year it was really cold.

So yeah, get the Honda.

Don't take a bike. Stealing is bad and it makes people angry.

Looks like my father got his CZ going, I think the threat of me buying him a bike got him the motivation to get his bike going. It just needed a fuel tank clean, carb clean. Now just to get it registered again, last time was in the 70's.

Would you recommend getting new tyres, or would universals from the 70's be ok? My view is they would be quite terrible in the wet, so I was considering getting some mud road legal tyres for myself (AC10's I reckon) and lending him my shinko 705's for the trip.
