I am willing to offer my car, and we can use Andrew's or Stephen's trailer, but I'm not rich enough to be able to cover petrol too.
However the offer is there if you want it.

Im not a mechanic but have had plenty of general mechanical exposure over the years.

I will also be inspecting any service records & seeing if the mileage mines up. It came into the country with 11 thou on the clock & had supposedly traveled that in 12 years.....
*cough*
Highly unlikely so the only real litmus test for an engine is a compression test which I obviously can't do. That would need to be done elsewhere or you can take the chance on my word that it isn't blowing any smoke, knocking or any other abnormal audible abnormalities.
Will keep you updated

The engines knock a fair bit (bottom end noise), you'll hear the same knocking as it starts up more prominently, but if there are any rattles from the top end, thats what we want to know! that and any smoke etc

no idea how much petrol my car will burn, but expect it to be atleast twice that of the bikehaha!!gotta love starlets. how much would fuel be to get there and back in the starlet? (also roughly 100?) i'm ok with that. have texted the owner, and am waiting for him to send his details through, so can ask boob_johnson(really hope i got that right), to check it out first. will update u as i go along.
i know it's asking for a bit much, but would the 26th be good? - leaving early and all. just found out i got a job on the 27th, so will need to be in auck at lunch time for that.

Rgr tht, so bottom knocking is normal on these bikes?
I doubt that as the car would now be towing a trailer AND a bike thus sucking more fuel, the bike would probably propel itself for less? Come on you uni student tubes, someone should be able to work this one out

Cheap *some* bikes are. :P
ZZR should be pretty good though.
Forum whore
a TL is a good example of a not so economical bike, but the smile on the dial more than makes up for that
If you aren't hammering it then the ZZR 2 fiddy will be very cheap to run gas wise, but like all bikes, they require constant up keep, tyres, chain n sprockets, brake pads, servicing etc.
I would ride it back myself, ive done it with the last 2 bikes I bought from Auckland, bloody great ride too

Unfortunately I don't think he's even done his BHS yet - let alone his learners. :P

lol ok forget that then, don't be using the NP to Auck ride to learn on lol, there are some tricky sections & it will take 6 hours on a 2 fiddy in reality when taking into account fuel & food stops, ive done it on an SR250, bloody great ride but an epic day for sure. I was late for work (but it was ok cause I am the boss lol). By the end of it I was fucked, totally fucked, it really takes it out of you concentrating hard for such long periods of time. Long distance on a bike is best saved for when you are a seasoned biker

gee wizzz
Of course a clever sod would come borrow my van and bring the bike up in that--no trailer no hassle
