Today was another hard day in the office. I had to go test ride the KMX Kart in parts of the Fullerton Loop. I tested out my DIY Helmet Cam and filmed my little excursion. YouTube quality sucks but here’s some vids to give you an idea. I even met some horse lovers and we…
It’s official, in about a week from today, Woodstock Bikes will have their 2007 line of bikes, the 505 and the 707. We’re fortunate enought to be able to get the 707 to test and review. Man I can’t wait!
