The Barn Build

Last Monday we watched a video from a former WISE student. This was a project within a project, It was a documentary (first project) about a kid building a timber frame barn (the second project). This video gave me an inside look at a WISE project and what it means to be a WISE student. The amount of freedom demonstrated in this video was inspiring. The student building the barn used many resources including his own capital, strangers, and family ties. I still wonder if this project requires this much time, money and resources or if this kid was an overachiever. Should our lives revolve around our WISE project as this kids did? My goals are not nearly as ambitious as this kids, although I do plan on accomplishing a lot. My main goal is to have a completely running 1981 CSR 305. Also, this bike is unregistered so I will need to jump through legal hoops to get the bike on the road. After watching this film, my goals seem obsolete and small. Compared to building a timber frame barn, getting a motorcycle running and street legal is simple.
