Shugtech Weekend Quading Trip At Loch Eck

Marty — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 17:59:22 +0000

Loaded up with the Apache RLX 250 ax Road Legal, Des with his road Legal 250 & Marty with his Yamaha Blaster on the trailer,

We headed off to Gourock to catch our ferry across to Hunters Key in Dunoon, were we started our hunt for a good camp site for the night, without this there was no place to dump our trailer and get the BBQ on the go…

We headed North along the coast of Loch Eck trying to take in the amazing scenery all around us while trying to keep our attention on the road,

It wasnt long before we took our turn off for Ardentinny then not long after that we started to venture off road, onto the vast amount of dirt tracks roads across the top of the hills,

We setup our base camp, Des decided to made a few tweaks to his twist throttle & Change it to a thumb attachment, after a bit of messing about it wasnt to be so back on went the twist throttle,
once everyhthing was fine we left our basecamp and headed off to venture around the array of tracks, The scenery around this area of Scotland is some of the best you’ll get!

The First days ride seen us accend to around 776ft above see level, which i though was amazing, then the ride back to base camp was even more fun only because you knew were the tracks were heading and there wasnt much need to drop of the throttle around those little sticky corners, were the other side is a drop to certain death! Our camp fire that night was the best anyone could have asked for while camping, the slice rolls and coffee was on our tents and sleeping gear was all sorted, ready to move in the morning with little ease…

The morning after shug went to the shop which was only a 30 mile round trip, but the milk and fresh rolls were a god send, while the breakfast was cooking i took the blaster a little run through a field to get it warmed up a little for the day ahead, BUT 3/4 of a mile away were the hill dropped off to a water crossing my engine decided to make a rattling noise just as i reached the top of the crossing it cut out..Much pushing later and crawling along the track I got the blaster back to the base camp were i explained to Shug and Des the sound it made, but a quick fire up and it was obvious that my piston was fried! Gutted!

We packed up and decided to move camp to another location were we could get a better look inside the head, the car and trailer was loaded up and the guys set off with me at the back, when i reached the end of the dirt track, shug was standing there with his hands in his head with a look of disapointment on it, thats when i rolled up and he told me that his clutch was gone… the sound it made as the clutch tried to engage was all we needed to hear and we knew our weekend trip was over.

In the End Shug had to be tow’d at the back of the trailer all the way to the boat and home were the engine was stripped down and fixed in about 55minutes… job done, Shug and Des was rolling again, The engine in the blaster was taken out and the head pulled off in seconds to reveal what we all knew, a large section of the piston had broken off into lots of little pieces this ment a whole engine strip down to get rid of any metal shards which could be still loose inside the engine block! a short trip on ebay got me a wisco piston for about 70bux, In the meantime this is a good situation to get things fixed and ready to go for the next ShugTech adventure………

Quad Biking Greenock Dowries

Marty — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 12:39:07 +0000

This day was sure to end in disaster, after a slight mis-hap in Greenock Donnies, Shug, Des & myself took the trailer up to Dowries
which is on the Greenock back road, old largs road past the whinhill golf course all the way to the Gryffe reservoir. to take these beautys for a spin, the dirt track connecting the farm trail to kilmacolm road is just amazing, dont get me wrong it still has its fair share of pot holes and major dips, which can for some throw them off a little, especially when you got no brakes,
