So, last night, I went to take my quad to the store. It was around 9 o'clock, and I went out and I started the bike and everything was fine. So I put it in reverse to back out of the driveway, and it wouldn't move. It was just kind of like bucking a little bit and it didn't want to go. So I put it in drive and same thing, it was bucking, it didn't want to move. Only for me to realize, halfway up the road after bucking and not doing very well, I had the bike in 5th gear. And you don't start a quad driving when it's in 5th gear. It won't work very well. You know, 3rd or less. Because my bike has two different means of shifting gears, it has a gear shift like a car has for drive, neutral, reverse, high and low, and park. And then it has a separate gear selector on the handlebars. It's an electric shift to run through your 5 gears. So even though I put the bike in reverse, it was still technically in 5th gear reverse and 5th gear drive. And I didn't realize that because I've only ever been used to riding one bike or the other. And one type has a manual shift. You've got to gear it down to neutral before you can even start the bike. And the other type is an automatic, and that has a gear shift. Well, mine has both of those things. And it just slipped my mind last night that I could have been in 5th gear, but when I got to the stop sign and geared down, I realized, no, I was in 5th gear that whole time, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with the bike. So, I've got to be very mindful of that in the future. Sorry for running a little long. Back to you Robert. 7-3. And I told my brother when I got back and said there was nothing wrong with the bike. It was a problem with the DFO. The 01U Casey.
