Im on the MBR program.

2001 KTM 300 EXC. holy crap does it have some serious power. Flipped it once. went over the bars once and spun out and got stuck underneath it on day one. Its fun being a newb at a sport.

Special thanks to Loopie who hooked the bike up for me from his bro.

Awesome. Were you riding with Anthony in Kamloops for this action?

Let me know when you guys are ready and I'll take you to McNutt for some serious trail action.

Wayne, you will probably like that pipe. I just put one on my bike before I went up to Lytton a few weeks ago, and it made the bike an animal. You pick up a lot more bottom and mid power, and I didn't notice any significant losses at the top end of my bike. Granted every bike reacts differently to it, but my experience with it has been mostly a "holy shit this is awesome" type experience.

I didn't do anything specific re: jetting when I put it on. All i've done over time with the jetting is drop the pilot from a 52 to a 48, and I raised my needle up one clip from the top.

Rat was with me in Kamloops and glad to finally get him in the program (heck, it was his idea to begin with).

Corey, I'm definitely up for some riding at McNutt. I know I will get school big time (Scott seems to hate that place with a passion) but hey that's how you improve.

Funny how I have no desire to buy parts for my mtb anymore.

That's the general consensus that I've been hearing and reading about the Gnarly pipe. That and its thick and thus harder to dent (but harder to straighten). I definitely like screaming the bike but I also love to chug the shit out of it too, so we'll see if I like this pipe or not. Oh well, I have the stock one there, unused.

I sense a small support group of ex-mtb'ers here.

I wouldn't call myself an ex-mtb'ers just yet. Living at the base of Seymour, it is hard to give up mtb because it is just too convenient to do a quick after work ride.

I think both sports somewhat compliment each other anyway.

Knight Rider will likely turn into the darkside very soon.

Thinking about getting a bike I can use on the road, would be nice to have another way of getting around.

I dont have my motorcycle license though, If I pass the written test, and take the skills test(15 minute parking lot) can I just keep that license and not upgrade? On the ICBC site it says if you pass the 15 minute skills test you can ride without a Supervisor and the speed restrictions are removed. The next test is the road test which is an hour long.
