It looks lonely without its carbs, tank, steering and wheels.... 
But it sure looks pretty!
For Logan's project, is there a hard deadline in the future that he must meet to have the bike completed? Or since Mike has been involved with the rebuild and progress, is that covered? Not that I don't see this bike being wrapped up quite soon, just asking-
And is there a paper/documentation requirement for the project beyond the build "thread" he must fulfill? Lastly, has he taken his MSF course yet too?
The project has several portions to it:
1) A profile of his project facilitator (aka Mike) had to be done in November
2) A project notebook of his work plan and other stuff was turned in about 2 or 3 weeks ago
3) A project log of his hours spent on the project was due as well a few weeks ago
4) Final presentation of the project
That last one is the big one and is the hard & fast deadline for the project. This is actually a county-wide thing that all of Cherokee County high schools require for graduating seniors (there are a few exceptions...kids who do half day in HS and half day in college are exempted, as an example). Logan's high school has something like 2800 students in it, so that means there are between 650 and 700 seniors to present these things. In other words, it is being done in several classrooms over a period of a couple of weeks.
Those projects usually are presented throughout the last weeks of April and sometimes into the first week of May. So we have planned all along that our drop-dead date was the first of April but we have set a personal goal of getting it done by March 15th so that we have a couple of weeks to work with.
For the presentation, they have between 6 and 10 minutes to present and they're penalized if they go over 10. If he wants to show the bike on other than a PowerPoint presentation, then they have to be able to walk outside and back in within the 10 minute window. He does want to show it so the plan is that I'll ride it up to the school that morning and have it waiting at a spot right outside the closest door from whichever classroom where he ends up doing his presentation. He'll speak for just about 2 or 3 minutes and show slides of the start to finish process and then walk them outside to the bike, which we will hopefully start up for them to hear. Then they'll walk back in.
For the presentations, there are 3 judges of the projects who are volunteers from the community...primarily parents but there are a bunch of retired ladies and gentlemen who come every year to judge these projects. Also in the classroom will be about 20 - 30 students as well, so he'll be presenting to a fairly large group. The project isn't graded or judged versus other students (ie there is no 1st, 2nd, 3rd prize etc); it is only graded for a course grade. However, whatever grade he receives on his final project ends up being 35% of his English grade for the final semester...so an A on the project is a big part of a good score in one of his core classes.
As far as the MSF course, neither one of us has taken it yet. We both have to go take our GA motorcycle learner's written test first and we've been holding off on that until we get closer to the end of the build. The GA learner's permit is good for 6 months of solo riding on non-interstate roads. I'm thinking that we both go take the test towards the end of this month and get our learner's, then I'll sign us up for one of the MSF courses.
I recently saw where Killer Creek Harley Davidson runs them fairly regularly so I'll probably sign us up ones there. The course runs Thursday and Friday evenings, then pretty much all day on Saturday. But once you pass that class, it satisfies the riding requirement for the Georgia license to get you the permanent GA motorcycle license. We'll do that class together, which shouldn't be a problem because you do the riding portion of the class on their bikes, which appear to be 250's, from what the documentation states.
