We've spent the last few days glued to the vintage bike listing on TradeMe looking for a bike foe Sara for the Paris trip. I'm pushing for an old 750 Triumph twin but don't know enough about what one would be the best for a trip where we need to do at least 500 km a day for 8 weeks. The panhead should be fine but is going to get pretty heavily modified. We saw a 70's Bonnie that had been recently rebuilt but the prick wouldn't answer his email and its come off listing today so he must have sold it. Some real craps on there as well. Just because it's an old Brit they think it's a classic so it's worth a bundle. Dream on.
Very cool 53 Matchless 500 this afternoon but he's looking for 15 grand.
Al the neighbor has decided to come along too and he's going to build some sort of old Matchie scrambler. He's a naval engineer and builds bulletproof Triumphs so it'll be god to have himq along.
Pictures very soon. Promise.....

Get an old Honda, like a cb77 and you will be the only one who makes it without breaking down.
I'm now determined to go for being the last one to break down. Planning for at least the first ten k's. :-)
