Help..Oil puking and dipstick blowing

Ouch, holes in the pistons must have really ran lean, how do the jugs look and I would have them check the valves bet they are burned
 
Actually got to go look at motor today and no actual holes in pistons. Broken rings and some of the rings looked fused to the piston. Rest of motor looked OK. Consensus is idling in traffic (see original post). Bike was most definitley not running lean. Hope to have it back on road next week but maybe not since its over 100 degrees here in Phoenix.
 
when i had a similar problem in 1977 on a 250cc honda the top ring on each piston had snapped but had sat in its slot in the piston causing no damage to anything else
a new set of rings cured it
but perhaps you will need a minimum of new pistons and rings and a rehone of the cylinders
