Chapter 178 Old Goods Trade (2/2)
Seeing the plated brand on the engine, Hans was overjoyed. ”I didn’t notice it, but it’s a Kawasaki engine? Awesome, things are looking better than I expected. Now it’s not just 1,000, but up to 2,000!”
Stephen rubbed his hands together and said, ”We’ll have to test the bikes. How about letting me ride?”
Li Du nodded. They cooperated to lift the motorcycle onto the Iron Knight, and then drove it to a road near the suburbs. There were few cars and people here, and it was the same place where they had tested the Harley Davidson bike as well.
After an additional check to ensure that there were no issues, Stephen got on a bike. The exhaust pumped out large volumes of smoke together with the roar of the engine, and the bike sped off.
Li Du was shocked. ”That’s fast!”
”600cc displacement—these are a bunch of bad-tempered kids.” Hans smirked.
The bike went for a round and came back. Stephen alighted and patted on the bike, saying, ”No problems—they’ll own the streets!”
Li Du looked at him and said, ”You like this fella’?”
Stephen shrugged and said, ”Anyone who likes motorcycles will love these. See, look at how charming they are.”
Seeing such, Li Du said to Hans, ”Then give this bike to him.”
Hans leaned on the bike and said, ”Whatever you say, brother.”
Stephen took out the keys and threw them to Stephen. ”Alright, they belong to you.”
Stephen was an honest man. After taking the key, he was dumbfounded. ”No, no, no, Li. This gift is too expensive for me, I can’t—”
”At most it’ll sell for 1,000 dollars, and that’s not expensive,” Li Du smiled. ”You’ve helped us a lot. The reason for giving you this bike isn’t because of how much its worth, but because you like it.”
Hannah nodded as well. With that, Stephen lowered his head in embarrassment. ”Then, I’ll take this little tyrant.”
”You assembled this bike yourself, so you’re the most familiar with it. But I still want to warn you: if you want to stay with Hannah until your eighties, then don’t go past 125 mph.”
Stephen said seriously, ”Of course. I understand the dangers of these things.”
The other four bikes had no issues after being tested. Li Du gave one to Hans and said, ”We don’t have any lighter forms of transport, so take one.”
Hans grinned, ”Are you sure about this?”
”Since it’s your flesh and blood,” Li Du joked, ”take one with you—we can’t sell your flesh and blood away.”
Hans reprimanded, ”Sh*t, what are you calling my flesh and blood?”
Li Du laughed heartily, ”Not yours, both of yours. You and Stephen’s flesh and blood.”
Stephen wasn’t bothered about the joke; he was wiping the motorcycle, discussing with Hannah how they should customize it.
The next day, Stephen and Hannah went to customize their motorcycle. Hans brought Li Du to the suburbs.
He rode on the newly-assembled bike, and it could comfortably carry another passenger. The two enjoyed the wind against them as they rode on.
The motorcycle drove to a small town in the suburbs. There was a large, empty field there, with a stage held up by wooden supports. There were also spotlights hanging on the telephone poles, and some cars around.
Li Du asked, ”What’s this?”
Hans smiled, ”I’m bringing you to see another kind of business here in Arizona—an Old Goods Trade!”
