Looking forward to this! Got the popcorn and beer in the fridge! :-).
I was going to ask about your test ride plans, but ...

Test ride plans will commence somewhere around April would be my guess.. ;D I quit riding when there was a possibility of ice on the road many years ago.

<maniacal laugh> BWHAAAA.. IT'S ALIVE.. ;D
Toasted Luigi, punched the button, and it started as soon as it rolled over. ;-T Intellectually, I *knew* it would.. all the parts are in it, <shrug> timing is spot on, new carbs, etc. but it still was a thrill. Just ran it a bit at 2000 rpm for the cam/lifter break in.. sounds bitchin. ;D :BEER:
Unkept said he'd try to get a teaser video uploaded yet today. It'll take a while to edit the real video. For all that have hung in there, offered advice, kept me out of trouble, etc. thanks. Hope you've enjoyed the "long strange trip", too. ;D

That's great news, I've followed this thread every step of the way Chuck, it's been educational and entertaining. My hat goes off to you Sir.

It's 7.40am here, I've just got out of bed, made coffee and cereal and straight onto this thread. Well done, sir. Now I can relax for the rest of my Sunday. I expect the rest of the world will chime in soon. Many congratulations on an excellent job.

after some tweaking&checking I hope we can get a video of takeoff power in third gear and then to see if it'll pull redline in fifth which I have confidence it will. Nice work Chuck!

Really enjoyed following this project, fantastic job and thank you for the countless hours you spent to share this with all of us. Does it now have to be registered as an aircraft? Dave
