Life is a journey that is neither long nor short. We are happy, we are involved in the revolution, we are secretly sad, and we work hard. They are all part of the journey, your choice, your result. Riding a motorcycle on the outdoor road, or traversing the city streets, the joy of driving comes from the great invention of the motorcycle, which not only has the freedom and lightness of a bicycle, but also the speed and power of a car.
