Topic: So what are those Gnomes doing anyway??
As I am sure some of you know the Geo Metro-Gnome had a bit of a rough time at the Buttonwillow event. We lunched a trans., threw a rod, and in the end, broke an engine mount causing a catastrophic chain jump that ripped the bottom of the engine case off. We spent a lot of time pulling motors, splitting cases, and pulling motors again. Somehow everyone still had fun and got a pretty decent amount of seat time to boot. We got robbed by not getting heroic fix some say.
Anyhoo... After taking stock of the situation and getting a $150 dollar residual value from Jay, we decided to change course. I am selling all the 1990's CBR900RR engine chunks we have and switching to a newer, fuelie, Honda bike engine that is more common and easier to get used parts for. Due to a vigilant Craig's List eye I got one pretty cheap and should be ready with it at T-Hill.
Just because everyone thinks everyone are hella big fat cheaters (HBFC's) I set up a blog that links to our Ebay sales of all the stuff we sold to pay for the new mill. We are not done selling stuff yet but I figured it's about time to go public so everyone can tell us we are full of it even though we are not.
