wow,, alot of talent in the house,,, i would love to see the build as well, i'm an industrial design student, but worked for several years as a blacksmith/welder/tool+die/fabricator before i decided to go back to school, now i run my school's shop, which basically consists of making sure people don't chop limbs off on the table saw and explaining that the bridgeport in not just another drill press.
oh and, i ride every day,, rain or shine snow or sleet, got a pair of helly/hanson rain paints that are perfect, don't mind it one bit,, the dead of winter cuts in on the joy riding, but i freekin hate cars. although i would probably buy that jeep diesel truck if it comes out,, i forget what it's called,
