2 Strokes Down Under

Hey troops,

Would be nice to catch up and meet a few of the Sydney / Wollongong / Newcastle folk on this forum. I've already met and ridden with a few of you.

Any interest in organising a ride once a month or every 2nd month?


Cheers, Markus.

I'm always keen for a ride with fellow strokers.
Don't know how often I can commit, but would definitely try as often as possible.

sounds a good plan, when I get a bike on the road... I also cant commit to that often, but always good to have a schedule and then see who turns up etc.

Cool... I'm in same boat as you chaps... about a month away from being back on the road.

I'll set an initial date once I'm unready.

Happy for someone else to take the lead and start the catchups / rides before than if they want.

I'm just really keen to meet and ride with other 2 stroke fans.


Cheers, Markus.

I can add a calendar module to this website if it will help.
You can set up recurring events, and you would see what's coming up in a scrolling block. With another small mod, people can also click a button to say "I'm going", so you can get a list of attendees.

I have observed as a past organiser of rides is that the ratio of fettlers always out weighed the ratio of riders.


The best turn out I ever got was 10 ....................................I had to work for that though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah... I helped a bit with that last one. Persued people to the point of (mild) stalking, hehehe.

Its worth it though.... nothing like close to a dozen two strokes clearing their throats after a stop.

Cheers, Markus.

A calendar with attendance opt in sounds pretty good!

This is a great site. Need to keep people active and interested.

Is there a Facebook page which links to it yet?


Cheers, Markus.

Hmm i'd be in, but not on the RD just yet either. Would have to be...(cough) on the Duke (Cough Cough)......

No facebook page yet, but that's about a 2 second job...
Should I start one?

You need a few bikes because that's the problem with building specials/ hybrids, you are always building them and never riding them
I will be up for a ride out to wherever

I think so, it would drive a ton more traffic to the site and forums. I've got around around 70 friends on FB who are 2 stroke or motorcycle fans I could invite.

Happy to help with the admin if you like. I do the same at work from time to time when our comms manager is away.

You could follow at a distance to enjoy the fumes

Unless you are using Motul 710 which is unfortunately what I use and a few of my mates.

It does give me the need to be at the front instead of at the back though. It also gives me a headache.

Check out Sydney Riders, they meet Thur nites at the Caltex Parramatta rd Five Dock.

Haven't been out with them but I was fueling up the car one night and saw in excess of 50 bikes.

All sorts!!!
