Month: October 2010

This evening we celebrated Cousin’ Joe’s Bday with a ride and dinner in Fullerton. We then surprised him with a cake that Priscilla made. Check it out. This is the cake topper. We were looking for a mountain bike, but no luck. So we opted for this red Intense BMX bike instead. Not sure if…

I received this little kit from Interbike. Some guy was passing them out @ the entrance and I finally had a chance to use it. Here’s some details: Finally a lens cleaner that is Alcohol and Ammonia Free! Brilliant Idea! When you add in our SR8 scratch resistant coating you now can offer the most…
