Hitting the Old Town Road

THE URBAN JUNGLE is the place most of us homo sapiens call home. We spend over 90 percent of our lives within the city and its hustle and bustle. While there was a time when walking or bicycling was the predominant mode of transport, the quickest way to move through the urban jungle nowadays is your own vehicle.

We had already taken it into the wilderness last month. so, i thought why not take the Taigun into the city, a place where it would spend most of its life, and see how it fares?
