Yeah, that's the old way to run them. Now guys run them out back for real traction!
Put them bikes back! You got car work to do, no time for two wheeled fun!

Nice project thread. Great progress. I don't blame you for taking advantage of the nice weather.

We do have some in the winter. They just plow a parking lot and put a couple large by huge heaters in. Last one I went to was right on the channel coming in from Lake Michigan. In January. The deal was pay $20 to get in then you get a card that allows you to do a pub crawl through down town, getting one free drink at all of them. Then back to the tent if you like the band there.

Most are held between Memorial and Labor Days. I would bet there are over 200 in the summer. Plus Bike Time. That is when the whole down town turns into a beer tent. 100,000 bikes and two night of concerts at the Harley dealership. Yeah we party.

While that cooks I'm starting on the engine. I don't expect any drama. Needs a cleanup and paint. I changed the cam without dropping the pan. It leaks a little. But it ran good and had good oil pressure. I'll check everything out while I can.
Nice and clean like I expected in side.
