It has begun! We have begun looking for parts for it (look for my link in the Wanted/For Sale topic), and are planning a break down of the bike soon so we can clean the carb and do a ton of maintenance work. I suspect we will get it up to the point where its more than roadworthy for the last months of summer and fall here in Upstate NY, and then over the winter when it cant be ridden here, do some serious engine work.
Check out the link! I set up a dedicated site on Shutterfly especially for the task.

I'm interested in how the CH80 turns out. Mine's due for an overhaul. Topped 11K on the clock and it's feeling a bit tired. Probably time for a hone/new rings/valve job. Cleaning out the oil screen couldn't hurt either.
