Just an observation.

[Finfan]

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.

....a whole new wave of carnage is due across the landscape of AZ!

I meant that in a GOOD way.

 

[bairdco]

i talked to an Opti-2 oil rep about where to get it, and he said Ace just hooked up a distributorship.

looks like they're gonna be more than just a place i go to get keys made...

 

[civlized]

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

 

[Finfan]

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

 

[city of angels]

yes my neighbors father in law said that every time they sale one they have to call a representative that sells this motors

 

[Dave31]

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

 

[Venice Motor Bikes]

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

 

[bairdco]

i bet there'll be all kinds of china doll stump-grinders, boat motors, and whatever the heck else these motors were supposed to work for once ace carries them...

 

[doubledice]

Hey i could open up my own little repair shop in my garage if they do that im always looking to make some extra cash

 

[bairdco]

heck yeah, i wonder if they'll be hiring mechanics? i could go off with that employee discount...

I have a job application all filled out, ready for when I decide to take the plunge and give up my real job. There's an Ace just a few blocks from home and the manager wants me for part time work...Now, if I see an engine kit offered there that will be the push I need. I could ride my bike to work, park it in front of the store and be the resident bike pro. This is sounding good. Maybe I should stop in and put a bug in the guys ear.
FinFan, do you happen to know the store number of the Ace you see the kits in?

[Motor Boys]

Hey Fin Fan what is the price tag on them at Ace?

 

[Dave31]

One thing, when this insider told me that Ace will be selling the kits, I forgot to ask if this was Nation wide or just here in Az?

 

[Finfan]

Hey Fin Fan what is the price tag on them at Ace?

They're asking $159.99 for a kit. I haven't really checked out the kits so I can't tell you what variety of china girl it is. I guess I'll ask next time I'm there. They have a olive drab army style bike on display.

[Bikeguy Joe]

Ace Hardwares are independently owned and operated last I knew....it's up to the given store as to what they can and will sell.

I used to sell various types of R/C model airplanes from the one that was in Hambden Ohio.
