It's back on

Now that I'm all done with school, settled down at work I'm getting back to it at home as well. That means time to start working on the AT1 again. If you've forgotten this is where we left off.




Things should start progressing very quickly. I put new tire tubes on order at Royal Distributing, and finally decided to do something about the forks. I'm just using the ones from the spare parts AT2. They are a bit pitted, but a wet sanded them smooth and the seals aren't leaking. Hopefully this weekend I can have the front and rear tire on. After that it's just a matter of hooking up all the lights and brakes. I might be able to have it on the road by the end of June.

Sagwick

So a lot has been going on. Graduates (yay) with honours, went on vacation to Florida/Jamaica/Grand Cayman and made it home in one piece. Got the bike to my house, certified, insured and on the road.

Alas, something greater than I ever imagined is in the works. A good friend of mine, Kevin Beswick and I have joined forces to create possibly the best (maybe worst) beer of all time. I present to you, Sagwick! (yes, it's both our last names combined). Here is a quick logo idea I sketched out on paint.


A lot of things are still up in the air. The logo is not finalized, obviously. Slogans are undecided. As of now we are gathering supplies. We have most of the hardware (carboys, bottle capper, bottles, bubbler caps etc), but we need to do some more research into what kinds of beer we will be making and the ingredients we will require. Stay tuned!
