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.
