That's awesome! Beware of what you're creating, that's exactly how I started. Actually it probably started when my mom was winning trophies drag racing while pregnant with me, times were different. Then as a toddler every toy car or truck I had that took AAs got a 9 volt or 2 rigged up to it, definitely had the sickness all along.

Fantastic pic, congrats on having a wheelie loving boy!

My 7 year old loves to ride on the back of the bike but the wife won't let him, I'm trying to get him into mountain biking with me but he's still a little balance challenged...

Ok the boxes made it to Florida finally.. Kirby said one of the boxes was leaking peanuts but it didn't look too bad. He's going to open everything up tomorrow so I got my fingers crossed.. Let the machining begin!
