I'm in for Sawyers Saturday Hooters. And I have to say that you have been doing a great job on rounding up the troops and also organising some top rides recently.

Pikey lead a ride around the Wokalup area, sussing out some new tracks & trails, hence us getting lost.

Jack tried using AI for the report, so I thought I'd have a go too.
I had well over an hour of video so this was made using the video editing software's "AI" Auto Beat Sync where you chose a bit of music then the program chooses the "best bits" of all the footage (lol) & edits/syncs the video to the beat of the music.

Wierd goings on.I posted a ride report yesterday.Its disappeared.
Start again.
Thanks for the 14 guys who turned up Sat to try and follow my GPS navigating skills on a new route.
It is harder than you think.
Guys like Tommy ,Pounce and Mikkal make it look easy.Not sure I was given the skills to actually ride a bike and look at the GPS at the same time.
Despite that,I had fun trying.
Apart from getting slightly off course a few times,there were only a few dramas.
Jed takes bad luck rider of the day,with broken headlamp and flat tyre.Shit just happens some rides.
We lost JNR ,Zac and one other for a while.Fortunately all ended well after we back tracked.They had the sense not to head off on a tangent.Stayed on the track and waited for us.
For the new guys ,a good lesson on what to do in that situation.We all had a god laugh when we met.
However ,they could have followed an incorrect track or headed down the main road.
Most of us, have seen what happens when riders think they are doing the right thing.The ride quickly turns to shit with one group not knowing what the other are doing.
Stay on the track and wait.
Finally, thanks to DT200 Andy for sweeping and handling the chaos when I missed the tracks and had to u turn.

Thanks Pikey for the Lead, Hooters for mustering the troops, Andy for the sweep and everyone else for making it a good ride. I haven't been on the bike since Capel so I needed it.

I might have to go on record and say I couldn't keep up with Marty even though he had no front brake :(

Thanks Pikey for calling and leading a ride down at Woky, appreciated.
Great conditions down there but had a prick of a day myself with a few firsts.

First time smashing a headlight...on a p1ss weak slow corner as well.
First time getting a puncture on Tubliss.
First time closing the car door and breaking all the clips off my Hydrapack.

Was also the first time I've had a matching jersey and pants. Maybe the bike gods thought I looked too flash in matching gear and needed a humbling.

$40 delivered for a new KTM headlight at MXstore if anyone else has a mischief.

Cheers again Mike and Dt200 for the sweep.

ChatGPT is the rage at the moment, so I thought I would give it a try for a ride report.
Just typed in key words and this story was generated.

HuskyMike, a skilled rider, took charge as the lead for the exciting adventure organized by Hooters. The destination was the thrilling Wokalup, where the crew gathered to embark on an unforgettable ride. The trail consisted of challenging single tracks, thrilling twin tracks, and steep hills that tested the riders' skills. Despite the cold 5-degree morning, the group of 15 riders eagerly set off on their journey. HuskyMike's impressive speed pushed the limits, providing ample opportunities for the riders to practice pivot turns. Unfortunately, Jed had a mishap, taking a tumble and ending his day with a flat tire. Amidst the excitement, we lost track of JNR and Zac, once found the crew continued on, covering a remarkable 64 kilometers of enjoyable riding. It was a fantastic day out, with an awesome crew, and special thanks to sweep Andy for his support throughout the ride.

Well players;Hooters suggested I might be able to lead a ride around Wokky area.It so happens,that I do have a 60k loop setout for an event coming later this year.
Looks like rain has gone,but I suspect we may have a few trees down.
Its an easy loop and we have ridden on parts of it before,so we might make it a spirited ride (: At the end we will add a couple of single trail tight loops to make it a bit more exciting.I have given the gpx file to Pounce in case my GPS skills live up to my reputation.
As mentioned by Hooters ,we will meet 8.30am this Sat.Location will just off Mornington rd.(riders can get location from Hooters or myself)
Friday nighters can stay at my place if they want.

Gents (I use that loosely)
My son has just bought himself a 2022 YZ250F so needing to sell a licenced 2018 WR250F. Gave it a service on the weekend and upon starting it up found absolutely no electrics, i.e. low/ high bean, rear tail/ brake light and front or rear indicators and horn. Apparently it has been like this for a little while but he neglected to tell me!! Said he didn't need lights/ indicators etc. in the bush!!
Bike starts fine and I checked the connections under the seat including the fuses and well as behind the headlight but can't see anything obvious. Whilst I am okay at basic mechanical I am useless at wiring/ electrics.
I want to get it fixed so I can list it to sell.
Any Crusties here that are Electricians or are pretty handy at fault finding that could help. Bottle of Jacks or a Carton for your services?
Or if you you have a trusted Electrician you use that won't rip me a new one for what I recon could be a 5 minute job.
Cheers fellas!

PS Anyone looking for a 2018 WR250F with only 2,500 hours of trail riding let me know. Picture in photos for reference.
