Looks like I won't be able to make "Wake the Dragon 2006" anymore. We went to prep the shortblock for re-installation of my Alaniz Head yesterday... noticed this in cylinder #2






No way can I have motor done in time - aiming for Dragonball now.

3 Cylinders should be enough to beat WestSideBilly through the Dragon.

A 50cc moped is overkill.

With flat tires and a rusted chain drive.

When is the Vespa weekend at the Dragon again? Anyone know?
