Time to get the bike going again
Time to get the bike going again
After taking a break for a bit while getting settled in a new state and kind of inheriting a '01 Dodge Ram 1500 4X4 that had sat for around 5 yrs (gas is cheap here) I spent this year getting the truck running well and reliable. Though that project would be for a different forum.
Due to covid stuff I have been waiting around 4 months for my appointment at the motor vehicle department to register the bike as it expired 9\19 which came up this last fri.
Actually the first time I have rode the bike in a year. Which of course lit the fire again....lol
So this winters project is build the engine as I still have the mori pistons & cams sitting on the shelf. The first step is getting my ported heads rebuilt as I believe I have found a local place that can do the job......that is one thing I do miss about SoCal.....but it isn't that far of a drive if I can't find an acceptable local shop.
Hope everyone has been well
Cheers,
Mike

Good to hear from you Mike. The Dodge Ram is the size of a small town over here! Be good to see the bike being rebuilt

Hey Hawk, good to hear from you buddy, stay safe now y'all!
I'm so unlucky that if there is such a thing as re-incarnation I'll come back as me!
Re: Time to get the bike going again
What oh Mike...
So-Cal's been a bit too hot of late probably just as well you moved !
Glad to see you back I wondered where you had gone...

Re: Time to get the bike going again
Just how cheap is cheap and what does that thing do to the gallon, not a great deal I suspect!!
Enjoy it while you can

Re: Time to get the bike going again
Right now we are paying $1.90 for a US gal. So at that price I can live with the 13MPG the truck gets.....
So it might be a while before the electric gets to this part of the country
