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

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 8)

Converting litres to gallons and equating with US currency, we in UK are paying $6.44 per gallon! 8O
