。。。 Body...

Zheng Xudong could only helplessly complain about the Grand Canyon in Colorado.

"I'm sure 99 percent of the world's people would think the Grand Canyon would be in Colorado. Zheng Xudong looked at Ivanka and said.

Ivanka saw that the big boy was quite serious, so she had to say, "Okay, I'll teach you about the Grand Canyon." Take your hands away, or I won't be able to get out for a while. It turned out that Zheng Xudong dragged her over and sat on his lap according to what she was about to say, and then put two clutches into her wide neckline and began to knead her two Everest.

In order to concentrate on telling him, Ivanka could only take his hand out and let herself sit on the sofa. Concentrate on telling him about it.

The Grand Canyon is located in the northwestern part of Arizona, in the southwestern part of the Colorado Plateau. The Grand Canyon has a total length of 446 kilometers, an average width of 16 kilometers, a maximum depth of 2,133 meters, and an average depth of more than 1,500 meters, with a total area of 2,724 square kilometers. In 1919, President Wilson designated the Grand Canyon area as Grand Canyon National Park.

It's called the Grand Canyon because it's a masterpiece of the Colorado River. The river originates in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and flows through Utah, Arizona, and from the Gulf of California to the sea, with a total length of 2,320 kilometers. "Colorado", which means "red river" in Spanish, is named because of the large amount of sediment that carries it and the water is often red, and in the Grand Canyon there are about 75 species of mammals, 50 species of amphibians and reptiles, 25 species of fish and more than 300 species of birds. The entire national park is a paradise for many animals.

After telling him this, Ivanka continued: "Honey, you don't have to go to the Grand Canyon, when you're in it, you'll find that the scenery is the same, and it only has three famous observation points, and you usually can't come back for a day if you go, you have to stay there, or even stay in a tent in the wilderness for the night. If you want to feel the natural scenery, you can go to the Rocky Mountains, which also have very beautiful natural scenery, and primeval forests, and if you want to camp in the wild, you can also do it, but you have to pay attention to safety, because there are large wild animals there, and people are said to encounter wild animals every year. ”

"It's okay, I'll be careful!" he said, kissing her, "You have to be careful on the road, too." ”

came to the gate of the villa to say goodbye to Ivanka, the secretary Vivian, and the lawyer Sean, and apologized to Sean before leaving, and wanted him to spend two more days with his children and wife. Sean says he's used to it, but his wife and children can continue on the farm. Zheng Xudong said on the spot that they could stay as long as they wanted, and Sean smiled and slapped him on the shoulder, got in the car and left.

When they were all gone, he called Sophia and Anne, "Mrs. Bird, Anne, you can continue to play here, and if you feel that there are few people, you can get your friends and have a party." ”

Anne immediately became excited when she heard him say this, "Really? Can I call those of my classmates with me? Great, I can finally let those little Bichi see my life now." Mom, you're hitting me in the head again!"

Sophia slapped her child when she heard her swear words, "Let's see if you dare to swear again!" and then said to Zheng Xudong: "That won't cause you a lot of trouble." ”

Zheng Xudong hurriedly said: "No, there are few people in such a big ranch, and it is very deserted after a long time, let them come, let's be lively together, lest you stay here without fun." I'll make it clear to the housekeeper. ”

Anne came over and put her arm around him and said coquettishly, "You are also coming to my party." ”

"No, I still have something to do, you guys have some fun. Tell your classmates that this is a vacation resort that your dad has earned through his hard work. With that, he took the butler and left.

"Do we have off-road bikes on our ranch?" he asked the butler.

Although the housekeeper didn't know why this new owner asked this, he still replied: "There is one left by the grandson of the former prince, what model I think no one has ridden for a long time, ah, by the way, it is a Kawasaki 450 EXC." With that, the two of them walked to the garage of the villa.

Open the garage and it was empty, only a few SUVs parked on the side, and in a corner this two-wheeled off-road motorcycle Kawasaki 450 was found. The color of the car is orange-red, and it seems that the prince's grandson is also a person with a flamboyant personality, of course, there are few people who play this.

The steward gave him a brief introduction to the main performance parameters, this professional motocross bike, the saddle does not look so comfortable, but its shock absorbers will make up for the lack of comfort as much as possible. The 450 EXC features a WP inverted hydraulic fork with adjustable compression and rebound damping. The swingarm adopts a shock absorber and a single pivot point to minimize the number of connecting rods, which can effectively improve the passing performance. The workmanship of the swingarm of this car is very exquisite, a bit contrary to the rugged style of other brands of off-road vehicles.

The 450 EXC rear shock absorber uses WP PDS shock absorbers, which are considered the best in the WP product lineup, and are more inclined to the durability of the shock absorber in complex road conditions. There is no thermal decay of compression and rebound damping.

Of course, for off-road vehicles, tires are the most important, so Zheng Xudong squatted down to take a closer look at the tires of the 450 EXC, which uses Magis's Maxx EnduPro series tires, with 80/100-21 front tires and 140/80-18 rear tires. The front wheels feature large rims and narrow tires to further improve stability on uneven roads. This is especially true in the case of jumping. The rear wheels are made of wider tires, which can withstand greater impact force, Zheng Xudong is watching off-road races when he is more scene or the rear wheel or both wheels landing at the same time, and it is rare to see the front wheel landing first, if there is really that situation, it is an accident. The 450 EXC features the Brembo braking system, with a single disc with one-way dual-piston calipers at the front and a single-piston caliper at the rear. The braking force is enough for an off-road vehicle.

Finally, the butler introduced him to the heart of the 450 EXC, which was powered by a 449.3cc single-cylinder engine, and according to the prince's grandson, the only thing he felt after riding the 450 EXC was that if you screwed the throttle wide, there was a good chance that you would give yourself a backflip. Zheng Xudong knows that in fact, the mainstream displacement of off-road vehicles is more 150 cc, 250 ml, and even 350 ml, and the power system of the 450 cc level is already very large. The car is also equipped with an underbody engine guard, which gives him plenty of confidence in any terrain.

The drivetrain is chain-driven, which is extremely reliable, and it has an oversized rear crankset, which allows him to enjoy the off-road sections, although the top speed is very compromised. The exhaust pipes are designed to be small and practical, hidden under the saddle, and positioned higher to avoid damage in the event of a crash. The housekeeper also mentioned that the side branch of this car adopts the design of spring contraction, which is intended to be in the process of riding, as long as the body is straightened, the side branch can be retracted by itself, eliminating the action of collecting the side branch. It is also equipped with a side support locking pull ring, which can be easily fixed to the side branch.

The design of this little devil is really very detailed! No wonder most of the world's famous off-road motorcycles are Japanese benzene brands. On the one hand, this also reflects the mechanical processing capacity of Japanese benzene, and even the United States and Germany dare not say that it exceeds it much, let alone our Huaxia.

The butler didn't know what he meant by looking at the motorcycle, he told him that he was going to camp in the Rocky Mountains, and that he would be back in two or three days, and told him that Sophia and Anne might have to party with their friends in the ranch for the next two days, and try to arrange it as much as possible, but don't use the main villa, where he and Ivanka lived, let them go to the other villas, as long as they don't overdo it, leave them alone.

The housekeeper said he knew, he went back to his bedroom, and found a large military backpack from the space, the height of the camouflage canvas backpack was one meter five, this backpack was mainly for others to see, otherwise he couldn't ride a motorcycle into the mountain empty, wouldn't that be sick! tent, outdoor clothing, change of underwear, military wolf-eye flashlight, insect prevention, Snake medicine, gas canisters for simple cooking, etc., symbolically filled half a package, and then came out of the room, pushed out the Kawasaki 450 from the garage, the housekeeper had filled it with oil, and gently twisted it with the key, "Sudden, sudden, sudden" The engine immediately shouted happily, as if to show the new owner that he was still very young and energetic, indeed, Zheng Xudong saw that the odometer showed that he had only run less than 2,000 kilometers, and it seemed that the "grandson" was tired of playing and threw it into the corner of the garage and left it to fend for itself.

Zheng Xudong held the accelerator and twisted it fiercely, and the Kawasaki immediately gave him a high-pitched response, "Friend, now you are mine, I hope we can cooperate happily!"

As soon as he stepped on the motorcycle, the butler came to him, "Master, you are going into the mountain alone, it's too dangerous, why don't I let two security guards accompany you, or arrange two local guides." ”

"Don't worry, Hassan, I'll be careful!" he said to the butler with a smile.

"Well, may Allah always be with you!" the butler could not persuade the new master to fold his hands and bless him.

Zheng Xudong rode a motorcycle to give fuel, Kawasaki it endured for too long, it was driven by gasoline, the front wheel lifted and sped directly towards the ranch.

Zheng Xudong didn't expect that the car would still be so rushed after so many years, so he quickly retracted the throttle and drove on the highway at a normal speed, but he knew that he didn't have a driver's license.

He rode on the right side of the highway at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour, and kept a considerable distance from the front and rear cars, so he encountered police cars twice on the road, and he also drove calmly and normally.

The U.S. Highway Patrol will only enforce the law if they find that you have obvious violations, such as speeding, drunk driving, driving vindictively, etc., otherwise they are patrolling the highway.

Colorado is located in the western part of the United States, not an industrial state, the economy is mainly dependent on agriculture and tourism, belongs to the vast and sparsely populated kind, the whole state is about 270,000 square kilometers, smaller than the area of China YN, larger than GX, but the population is only 4.7 million. So when he rode on the road, he encountered very few vehicles, which is that in the daytime, if it is a dark day to drive alone, you don't say it's quite scary. The main thing is that the road is passed through the mountains, and the dense trees block the sun, and the whole road seems a little quiet.

Yes, it is appropriate to use the word quiet to describe it, Zheng Xudong can even hear the sound of the engine echoing between the mountains and forests.

At the beginning, it was close to the city, and every three or five minutes you could see a car either overtaking you or passing by you, but when he rode about 300 kilometers, he couldn't see a car anymore, and finally passed by a gas station, although he didn't need to go to the gas station to refuel, but it was good to see the living people talking.
