Pic of the engine today.
IT RUNS!!!!!! Lol Doesn't drive yet, but progress. Ran pretty good too - considering the motor was built almost three years ago. So far. Looks great Will have more info later. I'm at the airport right now heading back north. It is such a ghost town here..... really spooky.

That does look super fun, as does the hang glider behind it. That is something on my bucket list. I doubt I'll ever do it, but I love the idea of it.

Yep - it is... a good eye!!! That is a heater bypass they have for the M30/M90 that they use when the heater core is not installed. The heater core and the rest of that stuff will be installed next week - I hope... But for getting it going, they use that scabbed together plumbing to complete the coolant circuit. From there - Looking good for making progress.

The hang glider deal, I can relate. We were there waiting of a couple of guys to ride the wind, but it was awfully gusty. When riding my Harley, I trust that my equipment AND skill will get me through the day in one piece. Hang gliding, however, takes that to a WHOLE other level. As shown in the above pic, it's a sheer drop off once you step over that guard rail. In the background are some trails of Slide Mountain, part of the Mt. Rose Ski Resort, where I and many of my powderhound friends carve turns with our skis or snowboards. One of our favorite things to do up there is tailgate. It's really nice skiing straight down to our cars, unclip our skis/snowboards, sit on our lawn chairs and have a few coldies and burgers off the grill while soaking up the warm, winter sun. Slope side parking, baby !! Man, I LOVE living out here……
