State forest at Neerim, got all set up by 10:30 and only got 100m out of the car park before the Police were doing bike checks, they are clamping down on bikes not having Rec Reg RTA number plates, a lot of people have been using stickers instead and these are not acceptable, also checking Learners having both a Hi Vis vest and L Plate, they said it is acceptable for them to have the L Plate on a Camel back instead of on the bike, being a full license rider for many years I had no issues, the bike also had the correct plate.

After leaving the check and riding up the road a bit the clutch was slipping so bad that I had to return to the car park while the rest of the group went for a ride for about 1 hour, video to follow, a bit of work on the bike and clutch was sorted.

After the 3 others in the group returned we explored a track south of the car park that led to a small quarry area and then back to the main track to the car park, it is a great track thats not too steep and has the bog holes, good ascents and descents where skills can be practiced and some good video shots taken.

Thanks Phil, some interesting rides to come back for, as its too hot here Jan-Mar its a good reason to do it.

This is only the first 2 rides, got more cameras and tracks to explore, these are just close to Melbourne and once you get further away up into the high country it is spectacular.

Also will be heading to Tasmania where Quads are legal and a friend lives there with a Canam, will be lots of good trips there, as well as New Zealand as my sister is moving to Auckland for work, so will be heading over there as well

The Start of Tolleys trail, recently dozed, nice climbs and descents with washouts cut, reasonably fast track

A bit dusty on Tolley's trail as it had just been dozed, but nice and fast compared to before with the rutts.
