DIESEL MOTO update

[LocomotiveBreath]

Hello all, I just woke up and found an e-mail from Michael Sturtz in my mail box. I've talked him a few times, I will be paying him a visit in the next week or so. I have a friend in San Fransisco that has invited me up. My friend is into SVO Diesel and Electric powered vehicles. My goal is to perfect a BIO-Diesel/Electric drive for our bikes. And the Crucible is just accross the bay in Oakland, CA.

But anyway, I thought I'd pass this on, there might be others that haven't subscibed to the Crucibles (Diesel-Moto) newsletter.

Dear DIEsel MOTO fans and supporters,


Thank you for all your help and support!


The Die Moto team is gearing up for its official world record attempt at the international speed trials this September 2-6 at the Bonneville Salt flats of Utah.


We are currently seeking funding and sponsorships to make this happen, if you know anyone interested in a tax deductible donation and/or sponsorship for this project, please let me know, every little bit helps. For more info, you can always goto: http://www.thecrucible.org/about/diemoto.html


We recently made the cover of Popular Science (yes it is a small image, but it is on the cover)

The article is on page 91 (while it is over sensationalized, and not incredibly accurate, it still good exposure)

When it said that they used a diesel engine from a BMW car I never thought it was the big one!!
