Default Motorbikes in Brisbane

Don't want to divert any of you from the story of Pollyana the Witch (my 2 mates & I are in stitches over it!!!) , but heres a little query someone might be able to help with.

I have this mad idea of turning up at my (eek!) wedding on the back of a motorbike. I was a pillion passenger years ago on a variety of machines from a CB125 through CB550s to rusty Triumph chops and finally a beautiful GSX1100. Have never lost the bug, though I'm not a rider myself.
Anyway, I know there are lots of places in Oz that do tourist trips on Harleys/Viragos and the like. Does anyone know of anywhere which could provide bike and rider, in the Brissie/Redcliffe/ Sunshine Coast area to get me from hotel to wedding venue? At a reasonable cost cos this is Cheap Weddings Pty having spent all my cash on the shipping fees! Suggestions anyone?

Depends when you're getting hitched. I'd do the job for you myself, but I won't be there till next year.

No, I'll buy again when I'm there. I'm taking as little as possible...hoping to get it all in the hand luggage.

I shall be wearing trousers, so getting my leg over will be no problem ..... I ought to repharse that, but it'll give us all a snigger!
