I'll have it out tonight. I'm dropping with a friend who owns a MC shop in Ohio. Brian also has a MX track in his back yard; he is a former pro MX racer; 2x winner of Pike's Peak as a sidecar passenger; AMA National Sidecar winner and had the Wasp in his possession when I got it (he wasn't the owner). Anywho, he made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Drop the motor with him when he is at Tomahawk MX this weekend, then when he has it done, bring the Wasp over, we install the motor, jet it, break it in, etc and THEN he'll give me some sidecar MX lessons!!! Riding with him on an MX track was too good of an offer to pass up.

I almost didn't post this as I don't want to jinx things but... :screwy:

The Wasp is Back! :loveit:

Picked it up yesterday. Brian rebuilt both the original motor and the holed motor. The original motor was in better shape (plus it was, after all, the original motor - nice to keep the Wasp original) so we installed that.

Bucho will like this part, the b*tch kicked over! Not once, but every time! Well, did have to kick a while but the point is we never had to bump start it. :rayof:

We did two laps around Brian's 500 acre farm. The motor ran exceptionally well. :thumbsup:

Can't wait to get out with Bucho! :pimp:
