We all know that the United States is a 'country on wheels', this wheel not only refers to cars, but also includes motorcycles, and there is also a unique motorcycle culture in the United States.

The motorcycle culture of the United States originally came from after World War II, those soldiers who were born and died for the country, were abandoned by the respectable and lovely United States government, they used the only money left, to buy the Harley, Indian motorcycles that were eliminated in the war at that time, wandered around, drank heavily, and became a disgusting motorcycle family. In the era of anarchism, sexuality-freedom, and the flood of various ideas, the economy of the United States has fully recovered, and motorcycles have become the toys of the rich in the United States, and a motorcycle is more expensive than a car, because it is generally necessary to have a personality modification, and it is normal to spend 350,000 meters of gold.

In the United States, 3.2 per 100 people own a motorcycle, while Wyoming, which has the most motorcycles, has 7 motorcycles per 100 people. 30% of the market belongs to Harley, while India only accounts for 4.4%, which is not enough to catch up with Honda and Yamaha, but it is absolutely not possible to say that India is not a good motorcycle because of low sales, considering that India was only acquired in 2011 and has only resumed production for more than three years to occupy such a high market. It can be seen how much influence this car has in the United States.

Xiao Peng looked at the motorcycle accessories in the box: "Can these accessories be assembled?"

Martin looked closely at the accessories in the car: "Xiao, this is a complete set of motorcycles! Do you know how to ride a motorcycle?"

Xiao Peng nodded: "Of course, I originally had a 250 motorcycle." Honda CBR250, absolutely strong!"

"Oh, is that your grocery cart?" Sean interjected after hearing this: "A 250cc big motorcycle? Is that still called a motorcycle? 600CC is the entry car! You know, the standard for medium-weight cars is 800CC! Not to mention this big chief! This is a heavy-duty car! It is a big guy with a 'Lightning Strike 111' engine!" Xiao Peng suddenly thought of a story, someone once went to the United States, bought a 600cc second-hand motorcycle to travel around the United States, and everywhere there were locals in the United States who asked him curiously:" How dare you run around on a little guy like that?"

"Then what is the displacement of this car?" Xiao Peng asked curiously.

Martin took over and replied: "The 'Lightning Strike 111' engine, the displacement is naturally 111CI, which is equivalent to 1811CC. ”

Xiao Peng was dumbfounded, feeling that the 250CC motorcycle he was once proud of was really a vegetable cart in the eyes of the people of the United States?

Looking at Xiao Peng's expression, Martin changed the topic: "Xiao, you don't have a driver's license in the United States, do you?"

Xiao Peng shrugged: "I have a Chinese driver's license and an international driver's license, but when I get to the United States, the magical law here has been confused, just take California as an example, the California Department of Vehicles said that the International Driver's Permit and the Chinese Driver's License are both easy to use, but you must carry the English translation of the driver's license on your body at the same time, but the California Highway Patrol Police directly does not recognize any International Driver's License!"

Martin smiled: "This is California, if you want to become a California resident, you have to get a California driver's license within ten days." That's all there is to the law in the United States, and the laws are different from state to state, so it doesn't necessarily mean that you will break the law. However, Xiao, there is a DMV in Santa Cruz Town, you should go and get a motorcycle license first, which will be much easier for you to walk in the United States in the future. ”

The 'DMV' is the National Vehicle Administration, which is responsible for issuing motorcycle licenses and license plates. Sean nodded: "That's a good idea, Xiao, let's go, I'll take you to the DMV to get a driver's license." Come with me with your passport. ”

Xiao Peng was stunned: "It's so easy to get a motorcycle driver's license?"

Sean smiled: "Nothing can stump Shuai Sean, it's my turn to perform! Let's go, let's go. ”

Xiao Peng felt that what the two said was also reasonable, and nodded: "Okay, then it's hard for you." ”

Sean showed Xiao Peng the way the Indians do things: Sean went to the DMV for a consultation, took Xiao Peng to a motorcycle school in Santa Cruz, he entered the school by himself, and five minutes later, he came out with two pieces of paper for Xiao Peng to fill out, one was a written test paper and the other was a standard answer. After Xiao Peng finished filling it out, the two went back to the motorcycle school together, Sean didn't know where to get a small scooter, can it have an exhaust of 50CC? Anyway, at most 100CC, just like the little Mulan in Huaxia back then, Sean said a few words to a man in uniform, and the three of them went to the road together, Xiao Peng rode a small pedal around twice, and the man in uniform gave him a piece of paper, Xiao Peng looked at it, and it was a proof. The two returned to the DMV again and handed the pass certificate inside, but they didn't know what Sean said to the people inside, Xiao Peng directly got the M1 driver's license. The whole journey takes less than an hour.

Xiao Peng looked at the driver's license in his hand and felt a little unreal: "This is the driver's license?"

Sean nodded: "What do you think? You can ride a motorcycle around in the United States now! Oh, you can't ride a Bombardier three-wheeler, that thing requires a car driver's license." ”

Xiao Peng looked at Sean with admiration: "I really can't see it, you have a lot of ways." It's so easy to get this driver's license?"

Sean said proudly: "Of course, who let me know Benjamin Franklin!" After speaking, he took out a hundred-dollar bill from his pocket and kissed the Franklin portrait printed on it: "The tuition fee of the motorcycle school is 250 meters of gold, and I gave him 1,000 meters of gold! They have a relationship with DMV, and they must be released all the way, so EASY!"

Xiao Peng was stunned: "This is a bribe?"

"NONO, THIS IS NOT A BRIBE, BRIBERY IS ILLEGAL, WE ABORIGINES ARE GOOD LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS, THIS IS A SPONSORSHIP TO IMPROVE THE EFFICIENCY OF MOTORCYCLE SCHOOLS AND DMV. Sean said, shaking his head.

Xiao Peng was speechless, what do you say, Xiao Peng suddenly thought of a question: "Sean, I passed the exam on that small pedal just now, can I ride a heavy motorcycle in the future?"

"Of course!" Sean replied: "There are only two types of motorcycle licenses in the United States, one is the M2 driver's license, which is the moped, and the other is the M1 driver's license, and all motorcycles above 50cc fall within the scope of M1, that is, you pass the test with a 100cc pedal, after which you can ride all heavy motorcycles on the road legally." Let's go back and see how Martin is doing!"

When Xiao Peng and the others returned to Martin's side, they saw a group of people surrounding Martin's truck, and then looked over, it turned out that they were surrounding a dark red heavy motorcycle, Martin was holding a cigar with a smug look on his face, and saw Xiao Peng come back: "Xiao, look at this big guy, is it cool?"

Xiao Peng walked up and touched the body of the big chief: "This shape is really cool." ”

"It's not just the styling!" Martin said, "why do you think it's so expensive? This car has tire pressure monitoring, navigation, lifting windshield, trunk, real-time fuel consumption, battery power, ABS, CBS, DTC, etc., etc., and the oil circuit adopts advanced catalytic equipment, which meets environmental protection standards. ”

Xiao Peng was stunned for a long time, no wonder this car can catch up with the price of the car, it makes sense that it is so expensive, listen to the configuration on the car, you will know that it is really safety first, like ABS, everyone generally knows, is the anti-lock braking system, this function is very important for heavy locomotives, all equipped with large displacement vehicles, if the motorcycle is not worthy of this, it is simply a time-bomb, and the driver must be ready to hit the street at any time.

DTC refers to dynamic traction control equipment, BS is the front and rear linkage brakes, and the car is different, heavy locomotives have front and rear brakes, the rear brake is on the tip of the right foot, and the front brake is on the right hand, so that the front and rear brakes can ensure the safety of the driver. However, how to use it is a technical task, and the best way to do this is to brake half a second before the rear wheels before the front wheels. If the front wheel is braked too early, the rear wheel will be warped, and the front wheel will be braked too late, which will easily cause the rear wheel to lock. So it's also a technical job, and you need to practice.

Martin looked at Xiao Peng's expression and threw the key directly to Xiao Peng: "Do you dare to ride?" If you dare to ride, ride out and slip away, the fuel tank is already full. ”

Xiao Peng smiled: "In my dictionary, there is really no word dare!" After speaking, he stepped directly onto the big chief, took a deep breath, directly pressed the remote control, and started the motorcycle. That's right, this car is so advanced, remote control ignition!

If it were Xiao Peng's words in the past, he would really be stunned for a long time, after all, this is the Great Indian Chief, and the car weighs 520 kilograms! The heavy locomotive weighs nothing more than to increase the stability and domineering style of driving, but to tell the truth, it is simply an impossible task for a person to lift up this motorcycle when he is upside down on the road! Driving such a heavy motorcycle naturally requires courage!

But Xiao Peng is not afraid now, his strength and reaction are far beyond the limits of human beings, and he can't play a heavy motorcycle anymore? Thinking of this, Xiao Peng directly pinched the clutch with his left hand, stepped on his toes, hooked the accelerator, and the whole car rushed out. This scared Xiao Peng.

Only then did Xiao Peng react, and he didn't ride the CBR250 of the year, but the big guy who weighed 1811CC. I quickly relaxed the throttle and slowly became familiar with the car. Generally speaking, when riding a motorcycle with a large displacement, it is more stable than a motorcycle with a small displacement due to the weight of the vehicle and other reasons. Since Xiao Peng had ridden the Honda CBR, he was still familiar with the gear. After a few laps, I became familiar with the car.

No wonder so many people in the United States like to ride heavy motorcycles, the feeling of riding a motorcycle is completely different from the feeling of driving, sitting in a car, people are just confined to a small space, missing the scenery outside the car, and riding a motorcycle is not painful, there is no window glass in front of you to block your vision, Xiao Peng feels that he and nature are closely combined, the wind blows in his face, he is in the scenery, not the audience, can feel the shock of immersion, the freedom of chasing the wind.

After a few laps, Xiao Peng completely liked this feeling, the roar of the engine became a wonderful movement in Xiao Peng's ears, well, it is said that men like two kinds of sounds the most, one is the sound of women when they pop, and the other is the roar of the engine, there is no doubt that the roar of the motorcycle engine is more direct and rough than the sound of the car engine, Xiao Peng loves this sound to death.

Riding the motorcycle back to Martin, Xiao Peng stopped the car and threw the key to Martin: "This car is so enjoyable." ”

Martin glanced at Sean and threw the key back to Xiao Peng: "Xiao, since you like this car, this car is yours from now on." ”
