Put on by the Blue Mountain Motorcycle Club, this was my first taste of organised-ride-bliss on Blue Mountain. About eighty-ish riders braved the sideways rain and wintry weather to tackle the beast known simply as McNutt. One route to rule them all. Or was that root? Yeah, there were [...]]]> http://motorambler.com/2011/04/photos-apr-10-2011-mcnutt-route-of-all-evil/feed/ 0 http://motorambler.com/2011/03/review-ktm-carb-heater/ http://motorambler.com/2011/03/review-ktm-carb-heater/#comments Thu, 24 Mar 2011 07:17:11 +0000 motorambler http://motorambler.com/?p=1314 A carb heater — I’m reviewing a carburetor heater? Yup. A carb heater is an accessory that is often overlooked by cold weather riders. Even though Vancouver doesn’t see old man winter to the extent that the rest of the country does, I figured I’d give the KTM Carb Heater a try anyway.

In fact, most KTMs (and a few other makes) have no means to recover lost coolant when things get too hot — the coolant is simply vented to the ground. Enter the KTM Coolant Recovery Tank. (C.R.T.). Okay, the first thing we [...]]]> http://motorambler.com/2011/03/review-ktm-rlr-coolant-recovery-tank/feed/ 0 http://motorambler.com/2011/03/review-pacific-crest-pipe-repair/ http://motorambler.com/2011/03/review-pacific-crest-pipe-repair/#comments Wed, 23 Mar 2011 04:08:22 +0000 motorambler http://motorambler.com/?p=1273 Dents. Lots of dents. Pretty much everywhere there were dents. Riding McNutt can be tough on new riders and their equipment. The expansion chamber of my FMF Gnarly pipe began to resemble the surface of the moon. Even the diffuser was pinched 3/4 shut, pressed up against the starter, and leaked at the exhaust port.

Orlov, (aka Orido, aka The Russian Bear)  is not only a gifted lensman, but an experienced enduro rider too.

Even with the miserable weather this morning we still had thirty-ish (or more?) people of all ages come to lend a hand on the mountain. Big Ups to all!

I started earlier than usual and found myself wishing for a headlight on a few occasions. I didn’t see a soul until I was making my way off the mountain at about noon.
