It wasn't! Don't gamble, get the bike in good condition before heading off on a trip - it could get very expensive and ruin your holiday.

Solid advice here. And just to add another point....... even if things did work out, the thoughts of "will it, won't it be alright" would be constantly popping in and out of your brain and not allowing you to enjoy your holiday to the max. One of the purposes of a holiday is to chill out from the little stresses and problems of life, but here you will be taking one along with you for the holiday.
