So the bike is gone and the loan paid off — time for the next bike, right? Well, after some thinking and financial figuring, I’ve decided that the next bike will need to wait for a few months. I’ve got enough resources now to dive deep into the engine and brake work that the Tunebug needs, so that project is now at the top of the list. If all goes well, I should be able to have the car driving by fall of this year.

After that, I’ll have the winter to save up a bit of cash for a bike hunt. Winter and early spring are good times to get a deal on a bike, too. A small amount of patience on the bike front should give me good results with the Tunebug, which will help avoid lingering-project frustration that I’m sure would creep in.

That said, the next step is to send the head and carbs off for their work, and get the engine block down to the city for its work. In a week or two all the engine bits should be out of my garage and in line for rebuilding.
