We unloaded the bike and put her in the garage.
After pulling off the left sprocket cover I examined the oil pump. Having figured I'd blown the oil pump seal I was expecting bits of oring or some indication of the catastrophic failure, but I couldn't see anything. I looked off to the left and noticed something that didn't look right.
I guess it wasn't the oil seal after all, something went wrong and punched a hole in the lower crank case!
The silver lining to all this is I had a spare engine from when I refinished the bike, and it is looking like it won't need much work at all to get it running. Just one more part of the motorcycling adventure.
