Yeah, it's a big boy. Um, I was gonna tell you. Oh yeah, well Canada, actually the ladies of the World Road Race Championship, which is the biggest race, the Winter Rainbow jersey next year. This lady, this Canadian rider, has never won a bike race. She just started riding and she won the World Championship. She beat all the ladies in the Netherlands and Belgium. She rode away from everybody and just killed them. Kind of like the American did in the Olympics last year, a lady who hadn't been riding long. But she beat everybody, so she's the ladies of, like, Division I World Road Race Champion, a lady from Canada. I can imagine never winning anything and winning the Worlds. I mean, talking about 18,000 feet of elevation gain, I mean, I don't know what that is in meters, but, you know, what, 5,000 meters or something? I mean, that's crazy. But she stomped everybody. So needless to say, she's set in stone with a contract. So that was really good. But yeah, those things are nice. They're big boys. I've seen some really big ones. And, you know, around here they check these boll weevil traps in the cotton fields because those boll weevils can destroy an entire field of cotton. And all they have to do is they get up, you know, from DMV, from the state, like a paper plate, and they go on those four wheels and they ride around checking those boll weevil traps. They can go up and down the highway on them, you know, for work. So they can ride them out there. But all those are pretty big. You know, they're not small or anything. I know the other one's kind of small, but they all like the size of your new one. My other one was very small, especially by comparison. I mean, it was okay, you know, for it to be my size. It was just holding me around no problem. But if I ever, you know, had to take a passenger for any reason or anything like that, it wasn't going to do that very comfortably. But this thing, I've seen videos with three people, sat on it, and they go in just fine. So I'm going to get a seat. My brother-in-law has one of these two up seats that you put on the back and you pull down, and it's got the pegs and stuff for a passenger. So this bike is big enough for that, so I'm going to put one of those on the back, and then it gives you more storage as well. This one has a trunk in the front of it, which is really different. Normally the engine is kind of toward the front, but in this one the engine is kind of toward the back. And the radiator is in the back because it's liquid cooled as opposed to air cooled, my small one. This one has to take coolant and stuff like that, and hydraulic brakes instead of just cable brakes. Everything is an upgrade, especially the size of the thing. It's absolutely massive. I mean, you sit on it, the wheel base is almost as wide as a small car. It's a pretty big machine and impressive too, man. When you hit that power and the thing throws you back in the seat, it's quite the difference than a 220. I like the fact that it's got a working fuel gauge and a speedometer and gear indicator lights and all this kind of stuff that my other one didn't have. That's more stuff that can break down the road. That's why I like not having all that stuff before. But man, when you use the machine and it's got all of that stuff, it just makes everything so much nicer.
