Maybe we should consider making this a password protected website, so we can actually use it as a forum to discuss rides among ourselves instead of using txt messages. Most of the other ride groups do this and the trail bike riding environment has probably changed enough to warrant this.

Tommy, if you have just washed it, it is probably a bad connection on an electrical plug, I would disconnect and reconnect all electrical connections and give them a spray with a silicone spray that is compatible with electrical circuits.

If it started while you were riding it may need to be hooked up on to the test machine.

Need some help with the KTM the FI is flashing 6 times in the owner’s manual it says throttle position sensor circuit A input signal too low or too high.
Can this be fixed or do I have to go to the dealer and get it done

TigeR

A few technical issues with posts in the last 24 hours.
I've had to do some changes behind the scenes.
If your stuff was changed you'll have got an email from me.

Full support Pikey.......but is being a pensioner a number or a state of mind???? You won’t be able to help yourself ;)

Hey Dazza, I’m keen depending on dates always keen on camp out and piss ups.

CRFAndrew

I’m camping Capel see you all there.

Well done Dazza, great effort

Roley

G’Day Crustys. Anyone going to the Capel? Peter and I will be camping on Friday and hope to see a few CQers!

DazzaM

Hey Bunga I'll look into a camp out down this way but most probably not on the dates you have posted. Lots of logging been done down Woky/Brunswick way and Nannup and with doing the Finke and not doing much bush riding going to take a little bit to see what's changed. I'll hit up Pete 450 as well and see what we can sort out and keep you all posted.

Tommy

Thanks for the ride Yesterday guys had a great day out

Thanks everyone for yesterdays ride specially Hooters for the lead and Jacko for sweeping.
It was a good mix of everthing and everyone seemed to have a good day.
3 oversized loads in 3 Crusty rides, someone is setting me up!
I can't wait for the next one

Hooters.
Good report.
You were too modest to mention your log jump half way up the hill.
Do it again and I will pat you on the back.

However, I note no comment on my suggestion about some new crusty rules.
Now days as you know, its all about making rules for minority groups.

1.pensioners don't have to help push co riders bikes up hills.
2.pensioners don't have to write reports (unless they want to)
3.pensioners don't have to jump a log just because the lead rider was crazy enough to tackle it.
4.pensioners can make up new rules if the old rules don't suit.

I did add a few since our discussion.
Am sure I can get support from the other pensioners to push it through

Jacko

pounce, use tectaloy 90+, same as in your car from supercheap.

That was fun yesterday even though our Hooters forgot for a second that we're all over 50 & took us up that hilly single track.
More pics in the report & I'll see if any of the video is worthy & will post it if so.

Cheers to all

Oh yeah, what coolant are we all using?

I called a Northern hills ride mid week, It's close to mine and after 2 days of riding a cruise around the hills would be awesome. I've been riding single track hard endure with a pretty young crew of lads, so normally I've got the "masters class" well and truly wrapped up but Saturdays crew was loaded with old man trickery, lies and treachery. I was a touch late, and the mythical wide load ( that no one has ever seen...) was responsible for Dave also rocking up a bit tardy. I was leading, so decided to mix it up and take random trails as I found them, then meander back to the cars. Super sweep Jacko was bringing up the rear. We started on a few short single tracks actually pretty close to the cars, then we dropped into a creek that closed off an turned into Ezberg, every one was now warmed up ready to ride! Some cool bush bashing turned a bit tight so we bashed thru to a road and continued on just taking random trails, a bit of directional advice saw us over to the hill section for a play. We dodged a few 4wd's and a couple of bikes and followed trails till we hit the boundary. We found a marked single track that started off really cool and snaked thru the bush for a couple of k's and finished with a challenging greasy rocky jump up that had the air ripe with swearing and the tang of coolant. We had a break admiring the view and resting up and then decided to bee line back to the beer. Due to our gentlemanly start we got back to the cars and the beer shortly after 2pm lessons were learned due to Carls mishap and the bikes were loaded with caution, Pikey used his point an shoot method, which works....mostly....for him. Us mortals used more traditional methods. So the day was a wrap, beers were drank and lies told. Great day out thanks for sweeping Jacko, and the directional pointers from the crew.

Ciao Hooters

ps. it needs to be recorded in crusty lore that the oldest crusty was the only one to follow me up the creek, onya Pikey!!!!

Jacko

the photos are in reverse order so start from the right and go left.

Jacko

great ride yesterday hooters and co. im glad i didnt follow you into that gully but i had seen someone try it before. i put some photos of it up. you even found some new tracks but that last one was a bit too steep for me and my bike. we all had a lot of fun and no casualties. well done.

Bunga

Gents has anyone give thoughts to The Crustys camp out down south this year. Thinking Harvey or Nannup ???
I will throw a couple of dates forward but happy to go with what ever dates others are happy with.
14/15 July
4/5 August

Something to think about ???

Good ride today from the banned one.6 was a good number.
It flowed well and almost seemed as though you knew where you were going.
Leading the ride and supplying the pensioner with beer is as good as it gets.

The few challenges today reminded us of rides from days gone by ,where it was not always easy.

Thanks Jacko for sweeping.You can have a break any day and no one would complain.
Dave you are keen coming from Mandurah.Maybe next time a bit closer.

A nice hot bath and a Corona should do the trick.

Hooters

Fuck I was hoping you’d all bail!!! Righto see y’all at 9 whoop whoop :)

DazzaM

You right WrfPaul, spoke to quite a few guys who just go up to help out each at the Finke and cost them quite a few bucks in fuel money and like you said they keep going back just love the environment and atmosphere of the Finke race and they have a ball

2slow

I'll be there unless someone calls a ride south of the border.
I'll go with the flow for start time.
