It's been slow on the rolling and heavy on the poor lately. After a brush with reapplying for unemployment we're still getting by on crutches that will undoubtedly be taken away one day. I'm trying to rebuild my Tomos motor. The story on the Tomos is that I bought it in high school from a co-worker at a tree farm for twenty bucks. Someone decided instead of gaskets to rebuild the motor with RTV silicone. The piston was stuck to the walls and I had to beat it out with hammer. The cylinder and piston are shot. The lower end and transmission seem to be in working order. I've seen people put top ends off of other motors onto mismatched lower ends. I'm hoping I can put a bicycle motor top end onto the Tomos bottom. I'll still need wheels and tires, brakes, and so much more. Part of being poor is working on it yourself, even when you don't know what your doing. Keep on rolling.
