Title: Toolangi Ride Post by: Wade E on August 01, 2009, 01,56:22 PM I was doing a Eildon - Jamieson on this date but now that has changed to a Toolangi ride for the 9th August. Paul Smith was to lead this ride but cannot due to a lack of bike to ride and Phil is overseas at present. The ride will be a level 1/2 starting at 9.00am on the intersection of Myers Creek road and Monda roads in Toolangi, the same place as Phil has been starting this ride since May. Call Wade 0439991272 or email evo250@inbox.com

I went on Phils last Toolangi ride and I found it to be much tamer than other rides posted at Level 1/2...

Looking forward to the day Timmey Timmey at this stage its a ride to Narbethong for lunch and refuel and return ride to Toolangi as interesting as I can make it. Evo Title: Re: Toolangi Ride Post by: timmey on August 04, 2009, 06,27:18 AM Thanks Wade E
This will be my 2nd time out in 5 years,I think I've got it all together,Tools,tube,spare plug,changed the oil,bike all checked over and tighten each bolt. Lunch at Narbethong,cool. Q1..how do the other guys on 2 strokes refuel..do they carry a sachet of oil [100 ml] to tip into the fuel tank,or is there anther tip ? Thank you for the help..see you guys soon timmey Title: Re: Toolangi Ride Post by: Brad on August 04, 2009, 07,06:53 AM Timmey,
The guys carry there own oil whatever is their brand to mix in litre quantities. Most carry enough for one or two litres depends on how far the ride is and your fuel consumption. Most of the two strokers carry a small oil container with markings for the mix or a small plastic measuring cup like a medicine one. Five litres would be plenty extra on Wades ride. Or you could get a larger fuel tank or a four stroke??? Brad Title: Re: Toolangi Ride Post by: MarcL on August 04, 2009, 08,21:48 AM hey Timmey,
Some of us are meeting up at Healesville on the way for an early morning brew, you're welcome to join us. see ya Title: Re: Toolangi Ride Post by: MarcL on August 04, 2009, 08,23:03 AM oh yeah, I agree with Brad... get a 4 stroke !!
Title: Re: Toolangi Ride Post by: timmey on August 04, 2009, 11,22:11 AM Thanks guys
Brad...I'll carry some oil,got a specail small container too. Yeah I know the 4T is the duckz gutz at the moment...I just missed out on my youth with never owning a nasty 2T... :D Marc..thanks man for the phone call,I'll start at the Toolangi end with the other guys and meet you some where on the day :) Please stay away rain .... Timmey Title: Re: Toolangi Ride Post by: Clarky on August 04, 2009, 11,39:55 AM A day on the bike somewhere is better than no day on the bike. I'll be there Wade. Cheers Clarky.

I thought I heard the red rocket had died what are you on now or was it resurrected with a blue paint job? Title: Re: Toolangi Ride Post by: MarcL on August 05, 2009, 12,05:33 AM Brad, The rocket has been bought back to life with the thanks of $2k !!
My man Leo will also have his new '09 CRF450 out on Sunday to play with..... We are both still very much in the RED corner ! Title: Re: Toolangi Ride Post by: Paul Lacy on August 05, 2009, 12,26:48 AM Timmy
Don't let Brad and the other the boys slag off at your 2T. Many of the clubs better riders are riding 250 and 300 2 Strokes. Even hackers like me have heaps of fun on a 2T. Cheers Title: Re: Toolangi Ride Post by: Brad on August 05, 2009, 01,28:02 AM Fantastic news see you Sunday.
Is Leo coming? Title: Re: Toolangi Ride Post by: Brad on August 05, 2009, 01,32:30 AM Paul fully believe what is one mans preference may not be anothers and I know I am not capable or riding a two stroke takes more skill. BTW have seen some 2T guys use a babies milk bottle to carry oil in as they have excellent markings on them for measuring the oil, also they are plastic and well sealed.
Title: Re: Toolangi Ride Post by: Paul Lacy on August 05, 2009, 02,02:06 AM Brad
If I can ride one so can you! Come to think of it.. I do tend to fall of a bit more than when I rode a 4T ??? Title: Re: Toolangi Ride Post by: Brad on August 05, 2009, 06,28:31 AM Scotts KTM 300 it a challenge for me each ride, although the more I ride her it the easier it gets!
Title: Re: Toolangi Ride Post by: Wade E on August 05, 2009, 11,46:33 AM Glad to see lots of interest for sundays ride, cant wait to get some dirt under my kato's wheels. See you all there ;D

Check your bike and make sure everything is done up and functioning. Nothing worse than a bike you cant ride because of slack maintenence.
