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.

Planning a ride north to Greenhead via Jurien Bay and return. If time permits will venture to Stockyard Gully Caves and drop in to view Ian Boyd's 70 bike Vincent HRD collection along the way. Plenty of coastal tracks, sand and mud along the way. Fuel and lunch will be available throughout the day. If you want to stay overnight there is unpowered/ powered sites for swags, tents, caravans, and cabins available at RAC Cervantes Park 08 9652 7060. Max of 12 riders, have 5 starters atm.

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.

Yes it was a good fun ride in the mud and rain. Googles well they went out the window about 20 minutes into the ride and I was blind as a bat for the rest of the ride. Thanks Tommy for coming to the rescue with a gear lever to get me through.
Thanks to both Hooters and Tommy for the lead. I guess being the sweep no one got to see me submarine my bike in the last 20 minutes of the ride thankfully it went over on its right side so it didn’t ingest any water unlike the rider.
Great morning out and thanks to everyone who showed up.
Bunga.

Hooter’s shit show #2
Hooters, DT200(Andy) , Jed,Tommy, Bunga, Cairnsy, Buzz, Darryl dangerous, Rossco

Julimar, 9 of us booted ready to ride. Me leading, (kind of) Bunga sweeping. The work experience kid was in charge of the weather forecast again, sposed to be showers was fuggin rain for most of the morning so getting changed in the rain, riding in the rain and changing in the rain, not heavy but ….🤬🤬
We headed off down the fence, oh 9 bikes only 1 four banga!, a blast along the track to my usual single then we headed north to the hills - with Tommy helping with directions we were trying to dodge the usual way and huge puddles, a lot of open trails good for a blast with plenty of stops for directions and durries. A brief stop for a gear lever for Bunga, luckily Tommy had one. That’s definitely something someone in the crew should have ktm gear lever - woulda wrecked Bunga’s day but it was a five minute inconvenience thanks to Tommy. We were about as far from the cars as ya can get and the trusty four banga, embarrassed to be hanging with the two smokers decided it needed a wee rest. A bit of humming and harring and battery swap was decided on- luckily we had a sparkie 🤦‍♂️ 😂 the non sparkies swapped battery’s with mine the only carby bike with a kick start. Lost about half an hour I reckon but both bikes running and both bikes charging so a mystery there. We headed back just in case Tommy leading, stressing a bit bout his bike dying- the rest of us having a fat time in the pack. A few small get offs a few submarines but not real drama. There was talk of a round 2 after dropping Tommy but we arrived back all soaked but happy, just an all round fun morning. Beers and parmi’s at Bullsbrook.
Cheers for the help Tommy, Bunga for sweeping

Well,what a day at Logue Brook.Pounce on fire, leading a top ride with nice trails and some very very overgrown tight tracks thrown in.The rocky hills added to the carnage and fun of course.
Much more of that stuff and I will get a radiator fan for the poor old 300.Boiled in that slow tight stuff.Must fix that brake squeal too.It pisses me off, so must annoy the shit out of others.
I think it must have been fill in Pikey day.First Hooters (which I knew was going to happen cause its Hooters) then JNRs young bloke ZAC did the same.He gave it away by getting in the fill in position.All makes for a good laugh.
Great to see Ash back in the fold.Once its in there you cant get that bike stuff out of your blood.A lot of us have done the same in our life.Also great to see the new young blood getting their bikes dirty.
Thanks Jacko for looking after us at the back.
Pounce had better tell us what he put on his breakfast cereal that morning.I want some of whatever it was.

Thanks pounce for a a great ride had a ball didn't think I would of had so much fun considering my tyre's were buggered and then rear brake packed it in on the first decent hill so about 30km in so the rest of the day was engine brake and front brake only. Misses informed me we left nsw in 2016 so 7 years since had a ride on a enduro bike didn't think I would have missed the 500 and that's why I gave it to the young bloke but now happy to have it back a little fine tuning with brakes ,tyre's and some rego and keen for next ride . And thanks to Jacko for going sweep

Cheers to everyone, we started up with 14 & ended the last 10 k's with 12. I clocked up spot on 80 klm's.
It was a great fun loop too, about time I tried tying all the bits together but I'm sure I can make it better.
Jacko swept as he's want to so a big thanks to him again.
The racing in the middle I didn't get to see but there were some stories of legendary tactics.
A couple got filled in by others, a fair few laid down on slippery pine logs, muddy hills & general bouncing about on rocks.
You could always tell when two certain bikes were right up your clacker, either a squeak from the brakes of a 300 or a roar from a 500 exhaust.
I'm laid up on the couch today rattling from pills.
Much thanks, I really enjoyed the day.
