Man, that sure has to be exciting...I hope you don't get too busy to do some of your great polishing. I have a batch of parts that are pretty dull. Waiting for the weather to finally get winter-like to make me park the bike...

Again, GOOD LUCK !!!!!!!!!!!

Tomorrow I am going to start running it full time, that is, a picture every 30 seconds 24/7.
I do hope you will continue with the time lapse element of the build. It would be a lot of fun to check in occasionally. A couple of years ago there was a Greek Orthodox church that built a new building on the north side of Indy. They set up a time lapse camera so you could check on their project through their web site. It was a lot of fun to watch, even though I'm not Greek, or Orthodox.
