    The bike must have less than 200cc or a flat out top speed of less than 120.
    The bike must not be capable of cruising at 100.

    Given that many of the people who would be interested in such a journey are students (nuff said) if you wish to sponsor a rider who you think cannot make it you may.
    Bummed I cant join you, though my bike almost meets the value criteria (just a tad over mind). I would have loved to take part.....*sigh*

    Unless I can convince you

    I guess a few bucks fuel money can be forthcoming if pressed

    Well, i'll probably do it on my Suzuki FX125, $800 and seat like a plank which probably has a chance of actually making it, or the $250 Honda DJ1 who's speedo max's at 60.. that would be a painful ride but i'd be keen.

    We keeping off the motorway then? Or just gonna get off and push 'em..

    GN are crap heaps like ho-bags but really get something that will be interesting!

    Hmmm, Interesting. Now that I have actually read the thread I have a few things to say.....

    Yes I own an A100.... And I would be very keen!

    May have a slim chance if Str8 Jacket doesn't find this post....

    Fark, Im stuffed then!
    Yes my dear you are!

    Me thinks that you could provide a support vehicle. One of which would transport MY A100 to Akld.....
