Yorkshire two stroke meeting.Is there any one on this forum that may be interested in a two stroke get together in Yorkshire at the Squires Cafe, the bikers cafe near Sherburn in Elmet.
I will be trying to get as many two strokes as possible to meet up on the 25th of July 2009. This is the Saturday before the VJMC show at LOTHERTON HALL.
If this year has a good turn out then I plan to turn it into a full rally next year with a band on the Saturday night and trophies for best bikes .
Any one planning to go to lotherton hall on the Sunday will be able to camp on the Saturday night and go there on the Sunday, It's only about 3 miles from the cafe.
The Cafe has full camping facilities with showers and toilets at a very good price
( £2 last year ) and the beer in the pub is great.
I plan on meeting up between 2pm & 4pm on the 25th July 2009 for a get together,
and if anyone wants a rideout after that for a few hours calling in to a fish and chip shop for some tea. The ones that are camping Saturday night can then go back to the cafe for a load of beer !!!!!!.
You can book on to the cafes campsite by using there website of ring direct on
01977 684618.
I will be posting a reminder up nearer the time.

Hi Al,
I'm addicted to two strokes of all kinds, but at the Minuit I'm a Yamaha man, I have a rd 400 a tdr 250 and a dt 175.
There is so much interest in the get together it looks like it may be a good turn out. Weather permitting.

Sorry Becky, I rather expect you to say Yamaha 'Girl' there. Welcome either way.
Will see you there, but it's not worth staying over as I'm only down the road.
As Al says it usually pisses down, but only until Sunday Morning, Lotherton is renowned for it's scorching weather.

Next Weekend Folks!!
Saturday and night at Squires for the Two Stroke meeting, then Lotherton on the Sunday.
About three miles between the two venues..
Weather looks like shit up to Thursday so far, Lotherton has a bit of a reputation for good weather though so fingers crossed.

Beckys two stroke day had wall to wall sunshine but for Lotherton??
The weather threatened all week right up to 10:00 on the day.
We got geared up just as the rain started so we decided against it and went in the car.
The rain stopped and only gave a few spots at the show, some sun was also seen... DAMN!
The rest of my Pictures are here....

Thanks to all who attended The KH lads did me proud, good to meet some of you as well. The ride out was a bit of a fuck up to be honest I will have to sort this out for next year and maybe a better time as people seemed to want to go straight home from the cafe. For a first time event you have to expect some teething troubles I suppose. See you all next year, and thanks to you all. May see some of you at the north east rally.
PS, glad to see you got home alright Eric.

What happened? we did think that Helmsley was a little optimistic at that time in the Afternoon.
But missed the ride out!!
I was too busy gabbing, we saw people set off for the fill up and thinking we had a little time we chased off eventually too but when we got to Milford there was no one? You must have had an F1 style pit stop at the fill up.
So we did the Milford - Cawood - York bit in about 15 mins flat, but still no sign of any stragglers, waited at the roundabout at McArthur park thinking that we must somehow be ahead, then gave up and had a stroll round York instead...
Perhaps next year then, and maybe the big bike too... was a great day out otherwise, thanks Becky.
