Anyone here know the basics of bike inspection in the christchurch area?

I'm planning an epic adventure and this is a suitably unsuitable bike - I just need to know what bits to take with me to ensure it will survive the trip.

I need the brakes, gearbox, clutch, bearings, bushings, chassis, motor and lights to all be in a known state before I bid anything - so if you know how to examine a two stroke and/or chassis I'll shout you a box of beer when I finally get down there to pick it up

PirateJafa is also keen to be coming on this trip - might pay to look at this too

can't be giving him too much power

As I'm selling my old bike and my new bike is a bit big for doing my full license on, I'm getting a loan bike that looks almost just like that to do my test on!
classic

i love how he asked if you were being funny, i would have too. he probably thinks you are a massive noob setting yourself up for disaster. so what exactly do you want the bike for? just for the sake of the trip?

the trip back sounds like it'll be a cool adventure.a slow one at that.

[PirateJafa]

Bah, should take us three, maybe four days.

Team SMC, fueled by beer.

How long do you need it to be held for? I've got a space in my garage for at least a week - and most likely a couple.

whats the hurry??

[PirateJafa]

We're both broke. So the longer we're away, the more we'll spend on beer until suddenly we'll have to push the bikes the last 500k home.

GUTTED!

I didn't get home in time for the auction end! arrrghh!

entirely. most sellers so far seem to assume i'm a noob setting up for fail, lol.

hopefully another comes up

Any assistance would be much appreciated by these two lowly Aucklandites!
