Hey Ana,

Good to hear from you. This is RL Policar. I used to run
CommuteByBike.com. Now we're running www.Mtnbikeriders.com.

Glad to hear you're still enjoying bikes.

I have the X-Class and the K Class. By Wednesday I should also have
the ST Class.

The KMX Karts are awesome! My wife and kids love them.
Check out this video we did when we had a KMX Kontest!

Enjoy your KMX
