I launch a Kickstarter campaign, beef up the powered egress system, and work on getting ready for an unpowered rolling chassis

The conceptual founation of the final version of the bike is worked out, with CG renderings and CAD modeling. It's not completely finalized and some aspects will change after prototype testing.

Some work on the front fork and steering column, move to a new workshop, and some great Akira fan art
Update 22
As the move to Seattle approaches, I get my Rolling Chassis completed and my shop packed up
