    If you dont mind an under 25 disqualified rider, then ill do it, i dont do anything on fridays anyway......I take no responsibility for it getting impounded for 28 days though!!!

    As others have said though, just go for it, maybe some people from here might like to meet you there and ride along with you, safety in numbers...

    i dunno, (no offence meant) but can this guy actually ride? sort of sounds like to me that he has the license but no experience? If this is the case I say DONT go for it, the road is a dangerous place

    Bloody hell, where'd all these disqualified 400 riders turn up from? And offering to ride your bike to do you a favour... I don't know...

    It's not worth getting pulled up while disqualified on someone else's bike. It would make your disqualification so much more painful... in more ways than one. You'd have to wait longer, and you'd be fined more too. So, no point in offering then. Better to say you would if you could, I'm sure he'll understand.

    If you organise someone to take the bike up, send me a PM if they want a lift back.

    I don't mind tagging along on any ride.

    I agree. I hadn't been on a bike for 13 years. Picked up an XJ Yamaha 750 (previously ridden a 550cc) from Auckland and went straight onto the motorway, bit scary but your skills come back real fast and it was the best thing I could have done - did my confidence wonders after it. I didn't speed (couldn't lol the most you could go on that thing was 120kph) before you were blown about!!

    I could follow you out to Paraparaumu as I am staying in Whitby Friday nite.

    That was nothing to do with the cam chains though AFAIK. Mine ran a big end bearing.
