2 Stroke extravaganza! Oct. 9th & 10th 2021
Don't know if anyone cares about these events anymore, because it hasn't been posted.
Nick Gargano might be making a special appearance, lol.

Even attending on and off for some years now have to say already turn out.
Well worth the drive up from Orange County Always amazes me just how many two strokes are in Southern California considering Gruesome govenor newsome hates anything gasoline powered .
I'm a expat brit (31 years and counting) funny how many other brits you bump into at the events!
If I can figure out how to post pictures here I will ,there were some great bikes on display.

Nice! Have been I'm a few years, but use to go all the time. If you can figure it out, that would be great! You just need a host, like photobucket. I ended up getting sick, and didn't make it. You can also post on the Facebook page as well.

Re: 2 Stroke extravaganza! Oct. 9th & 10th 2021
Here's a few
Saturday morning
Picked up a passenger and two more motorcycles. Leaving Julian's house at 2 PM.
Highway 5 (or if you're from SoCal "The Five")
Luxury accommodations in the beautiful city of Lebec, CA, at the top of the grapevine. Numerous cables and chains with locks, disc brake locks, antitheft device on the trailer to detect the slightest motion, and removed one wheel off of the trailer.
The room had a full kitchen
Almost there
Just above the venue on a nice level spot
At the event
Julian explaining his wizardry and craft
This was in our area. The motorcycles were displayed all the way around that building.
I am humbled to have won "Best of Show" amongst all of the beautiful motorcycles at this very well organized event.
Leaving Sunday afternoon
"The Five"
After unloading at Julian's house, getting parked at my house, it is 8:42 PM.
10 hours and 40 minutes truck time. 622 miles. 13.8 MPG.
I will be putting up some videos with lots more photos on my YouTube channel. When I have a few moments.

Re: 2 Stroke extravaganza! Oct. 9th & 10th 2021
Hey tacky1,
Nah I just thought it was a cool name to use I'm from Nottingham so I guess its a fitting tribute to Terry .
I'm so old I can remember when he worked out of his house on Carlton hill before moving to an industrial unit on little tennis street. Seem to remember he retired early thought his son would carry on but no.
Elsewhere Ron Phillips at Fahron is still working his magic he's 81 a mate of mine has a motor booked in with him .
Terry, Stan Stephen's and Ron Phillips LEGENDS .

Re: 2 Stroke extravaganza! Oct. 9th & 10th 2021
It is a fitting tribute for sure.. Absolute legends, I also had a Stephens LC and a YPVS back in the day, I was trying to get a Fahron build going last year, but the wait time was too long, Hes backed up almost a year!!! 81 and still at it, Now he is a trooper!!Terry Beckett wrote: ↑Wed Oct 20, 2021 10:03 pm Hey tacky1,

Re: 2 Stroke extravaganza! Oct. 9th & 10th 2021
Isnt it amazing Ron still puts work out however long it takes him a true craftsman.
Hopefully he's passing his knowledge to someone as there's really no one left you'd have thought that over the years guys that had worked for him or Terry or Stan would have set up shop the only one that comes to mind was Pete Lindermere he disappeared.
With the recent interesting two strokes surely there's a market,Myself now I have my bucket list LC I'd love to have it ported give it the beans.
All these guys came up in conversation at the extravaganza particularly with the guys from iconic motorcycles.
So I had to throne more name in,
That of Sweary Bob Stepnenson ( RIP ) of Spondon Engineering, everything you heard about him was true a mechanical genius .
