M1 Licensed, Parts Incoming, X-Prize Signup

The week's bike progress went haywire due to my little son's emergency hospital stay, but its all going forward:
  • I got my California M1 license in the mail today - Yipee!
  • I received 2 of the chargers, the front sprocket, chain from Applied Industrial Technoloy and a chain tool via e-bay this week.
  • Last weekend I got the rear wheel off and new sprocket on after a huge amount of cleaning.
  • Once clean, I am reading about specific torques and loc-tite to do this right so more stuff ordered. I will slip the wheel on and check tighness when the wrench arrives.
  • I have a date with www.electromotorsport to get my motor and parts lined up.
  • The motor mount plate is to be done early next week.
My older son is pestering about going to the moon, which led me to the lunar X-Prize (and I am building a team for that) and I signed a ;letter of intent to compete for the Automotive X-Prize for effiency while visiting.
