Helmets For Home Made Go-Karts

The current issue of MAKE Magazine (a personal favorite) has a feature article on home-built go-karts and backyard racers ( Roll Your Own ). Fun-packed home made creativity and fun with tools, many of us had these as a kid, either motor or pedal powered. Deep back in the dark dank crevices of my memory I can recall some kind of wooden gravity car that me and my dad worked on and I test-piloted down the hill in front of my house as a young boy. Whether it was the fact that it probably had no brakes, or possibly that the moving mammoth American cars of the 70's that I had to dodge in the middle of the street had no brakes, the cart didn't last long and I quickly moved on to safer activities, like skateboarding.

Motostrano- TXT Us! 650-918-6259

I don't know. I don't FEEL cutting edge , but there is something new, fun, different and exciting about being able to communicate to customers and prospective customers via instant text messaging. I know we're not the first to do this, but still, kinda cool. You may text us for anything at 650-918-6259. This goes to our office and our various wireless paraphernalia so we can respond (theoretically) to you question 24 hours. Back in 2002, Motostrano was one of the first retail companies to email you a receipt right there on the spot for in-store purchases. It freaked some people out and pissed off those dudes who share their email with their wife - well, lesson learned. Now, we can text local customers about orders ready for pick-up. We can respond to customers worldwide about order status or to provide price quotes. Generation Y likes to text. Motostrano now accepts your text messages. (650) 918-6259
