Hi Paul,

Thanks for the info and the update. Glad that Cedrick wasn't hurt any worse.
I'm excited about his new machine and the new motor design as well. Why
couldn't I have someone in my area with Cedric's know-how? He'd soon tire of
my company though. I'd probably bug him until he went nuts.

Sounds like you had a great get-together with the guys! I'm a bit envious of
a chance to ride in an enclosed vehicle like Cedric's. Perhaps that envy
will spark me to spend a bit of time scrounging up old campaign signs to get
the board material. I haven't found a cheap, easy source fo that material
here as of yet. I see a lot of signs made from it, but usually smaller
pieces.

I delivered soem sprockets to my friend David Chapman a week or so ago. He
will come up with a good reduction system that can be built from the parts.
I managed to get a three speed internally geared hub and that was one of the
things David felt woudl be needed. It's gotten a bit cooler here than what I
am comfortable with. Sixty degrees would eb a heat wave for you folks over
in the U.K., but when one is acclimated to 110 degrees during the Summer, 60
feels like a blizzard.

I imagine that the clear poly sheets on Cedric's bike develops a bit of a
green house effect during the day. My trike will have a minimum amount of
clear glass or plexiglass to keep the sun out in the Summer months. During
th eWinter it woudl be a great benefit though. I am dreaming of a system
involving interchangeable panels for the two seasons that we have. Living in
a desert is nutty!

Off I go, take care and look forward ot the next wave of pictures from
around your circle of EV folks.

Regards,.
