Yeah, so the thing that's really neat about this, especially for where I'm at, like if I was up here, I would probably have a 1250 or like the Ducati Multistrada. Um, you know, you're not, you're not even going on gravel where I'm at, you know, so like those are, are street track tires, you know, hybrids. Yeah. I would not take that on a logging road. Yeah.

I mean, even if, even if you put the suspension as soft as it goes and put knobby tires, that still wouldn't be the bike you'd want to take on it. But, but what I love about that bike is it's, it has the, the sport bike, a thousand CC engine in it. So it's a 200 horsepower bike. and will almost hang with a sport bike. I mean, it's almost as fast.

But you're sitting in a seating position that you can ride for four or five hours and not get exhausted. Whereas the sport bike's like... You really, for me at least, like where I'm at age-wise, experience level, injury, 30 or 40 minutes on one of those is about as much as I want to spend on them. And then my body's kind of similar to jiu-jitsu.

It's like, all right, your lower back and neck are finished riding for the day.

Yeah. Like I said, they're, they're fun for 30 or 40 minutes. And then, you know, so to me, like, because, you know, with the dogs, especially like traveling is difficult and, you know, vacations are, are almost laughable in that, in that regard.

So, um, you know, for me, I take 15, 20 minute vacations most days, you know, I'll go jump on a bike in the middle of the day and go, there's this like 20 mile loop around my house that you hit some, um, Some pretty good kind of rural-ish roads with big sweeping bends and some long straightaways and some pretty good curves.

And it's a good 20 or 30-minute little rip that just kind of resets you or whatever. So I really enjoy that. Car-wise, it's a little different. To really enjoy and experience pushing the envelope on them, you kind of have to be on a track.

I mean, you can have fun on the street. It's just... Not the most responsible thing to do. With a bike, it's one thing. You're probably not going to hurt anybody else. You're going to kill yourself on it. But you can also have fun riding these at 30 miles an hour. Whereas in most of the supercars, the 650 and above horsepower Euro exotic supercars, those aren't that fun to drive easy.
