Nc30 clutch gone whilst in GERMANY argh!

Long time no post, but for a laugh I thought I'd ask if anyone would like to hazard a guess at how long the clutch might last once it's started to slip...
I'm on a bit of a biking holiday with some chums and at the end of the first day out, having arrived in Germany the day before, my clutch has started to slip after about 8/9k rpm. It's not the oil (changed weeks ago) and the cable has plenty of play in it, lashings in fact - just to test it. So I think it's had it. I've managed to get it to a Honda dealer and they are very slow at getting any info to me - they want to test it first, then look to see if they can get the parts and for how much, so I await a phone call with credit card in hand
Annnnyway... I don't hold out much hope of having it fixed before I'm meant to be back at the chunnel on Saturday. I've rang around, called in a few and no one seems to think they can get the parts very quickly.
How long do you reckon she'll go if I nurse it with my best bedside manners all the way from roughly Trier in South West Germany to Calais... Bet bet bet!
