Default Just an observation.

A while ago I mentioned that my local Ace Hardware was carrying HT engine kits. I asked one of the sales people this weekend if they were moving any and she told me they were selling them as quick as they could get them. I guess we will be seeing even more MB's in Tucson. Of course this could be a Christmas phenomena but it will be interesting to watch what happens with that.

I meant that in a GOOD way.

Ace is the place! Who would've ever thought that would be for MBers?

Just as an FYI this is just this store carrying the kits, they aren't part of the nationwide chains inventory.

I have heard Ace will have a contract to sell the engine kits so check your local Ace Hardware in the year to come.

I guess this means the 2-stroke kits are here to stay?
