I am thankful for my Dad for showing me that you can try anything once. And I am most thankful for my family, friends, and customers that let me live my dream. And special thanks to my employee, Tim Sorenson, for some long nights and frustrating times building this bike. A few more days to go and we have a frame and motor done!
