Conclusion - what gets stuck

To get back to the start: We couldn't find out during our test whether the Honda would have lasted another 42,000 kilometers. This also applies to other things in our country: for example, we cannot confirm that cockroaches would survive a nuclear war, also a reputation like Thunderhall. However, we would strongly assume that the cockroaches would have to learn to ride motorcycles in the event of nuclear war, because all The Honda Transalps are still there.
How do I get back to the motorcycle from the disgusting insect? Not at all, that's why it's over now.
