Alright, thank you very much Russell. And I'm just here still doing some research into this potential newer bike here. That's all I'm up to this morning. Yeah, I got so tired of this whole mechanic thing yesterday. I just really wanted to distance myself from the whole thing. And it seems like I've got a solution worked out. The guy that I'm getting the newer bike from is a mechanic and enjoys a good project. And I'm sure he can fix the exhaust and then resell the bike that he's getting from me. Because that's what he does. He buys them, fixes them up and then flips them and sells them again. So that's what he does. And he said he's been doing it for many years. And I looked up his profile and past sales and reviews and all that kind of stuff. And he's got a 4.7 out of 5 star rating on Facebook market with like 60 odd positive reviews. So I'm figuring it should be okay. Like you say, like anything you take a chance when you get involved in a new vehicle, well used vehicle I should say. You take some chances. But he explained everything good. I explained everything good. So hopefully later today when he comes over everything is as he says it is. And I know everything is as I said it was. So that's not an issue. I'm being honest. I hope he's being honest. And if that's the case then we should be good to go here. Definitely looking forward to it. If it goes like I'm hoping it's going to go, I should be able to take a ride in the woods tonight. Which will be so welcome after not being able to ride and without being able to ride all summer long. And just being able to jump on this evening and go for a ride. It will take a bit of getting used to. A bigger bike. I mean I've ridden 500's and whatever before. And a 500 is a big bike. It's much bigger than what I've got now. And it's got like full foot wells and a storage trunk in the front. It's an all around nice looking bike. They took pictures all up underneath. And everything, nothing seems rusted out or anything like that. So really hoping that this one goes off without a hitch. That I won't have to bother with that mechanic. You know and messing around with their schedule and stuff like that. Every time I call in there he's like yeah you call me next to that man I'm still over flowed. I got nowhere to put the bike. You know I was over booked and blah blah blah. This is repeater station kilo kilo 7 November Quebec November. With that I'm expecting that it's going to be okay. Based on all the pictures and videos and stuff that he's sent. All seems good. So I guess we'll see. But it's quite the difference in riding a 500 four wheel drive than it is riding a 220 two wheel drive. I mean it's just night and day. The power difference will be literally not like night and day. It'll be like you know a little four cylinder Honda Civic switching to like a V8. It'll be that much of a difference between a 220 and a 500. So I'm hoping you know it's been a piss off that all summer long I haven't been able to ride. Haven't been able to go you know outside the house by myself. You know I've been pretty much trapped here all summer long other than like trips to Costco and the grocery store and Walmart and things like that. I really haven't gotten out of the house all summer long to go and do my own thing. You know in the woods I find a few trails go to the ponds that I like. Haven't gotten to do it all summer long. So I'm really looking forward to being able to do that. And I hope that this is the solution that does that. So one can only hope. Back to you Russell. V01 UKZ.
