Wow, alot has happened since I last posted! Not sure where to start. First of all you'll find new pics below. The front end has been fabricated , Ackermann arms and tie rod attached (this makes the wheels turn in unison). We had our first road test! We hooked a rope up to the tie rods and Duane gave me a push and I rode around the street. Apparently its a kinetic tradition to take your machine for a "push" as soon as you attach the tie rod.  Of course no seats or pedals are attached but it was still fun if not hilarious with my big butt perched atop a two-by-four spanning the frame. Joe even took a turn. Hopefully we'll get the video up soon. Also, we had a visit from THE DISCOVERY NETWORK. They are out of Canada, with a cool sciencey show called "Daily Planet". They filmed all day Sunday and hope to make it back for the race. Thanks Carol and Jay for stopping by and Hanging out!   Well I hope everyone enjoys the pics and if you know someone who wants to sponsor a machine, send em my way!! Now I sleep.......
