Started it! First time since last Dec. when I started the engine swap. Ran it for a few minutes then shut down to check for oil leaks. So far, so good. I'll start and run it a few more times, then put some gas in and go for a ride. I'm anxious to see how much difference I can feel with the new engine.
Since Ohio Riders is no more, I have changed the name of my FB group to Ohio Riders. I know some of you don’t Facebook, so I thought that I would post it in here. September 17th looks good at this point. I haven’t picked a meet spot or made up the route. I will keep this updated.

They have two rental locations. I rented a DR650 on my first Smokey Mountain 500 trip. Great People.

The F6B is actually a pretty cool bike. After selling poorly when new (discounted leftovers were common), prices for used ones have gotten crazy high lately.
