Liliana is is
Liliana enjoyed the trip to Canada also .
they call her nana .
they call her nana .
they call her nana .
yeah they don't even call her Liliana .
they call her nana .
everybody likes her .
she's ella llega allí .
and there's an old guy that he he's a an accountant ?
sí ese Ron .
yes .
that guy he's always asking for her how she doing .
because she went to Canada with her .
she's unreal .
+ he's <seventy one seventy one years old .
and Liliana rode with him on the bike .
xxx and he looks good .
and he looks
because he went alone .
yeah .
and then in the way back she drove with another guy from the club that he was alone also .
sí el el gaucho .
él le dice el gaucho porque es argentino .
ay dios mío .
xxx .
sí ahora después que todas las cosas um I gotta pay off some things que nos quedan ahora .
xxx de ella xxx la niña .
once I get those things squared up boy I see see uh if we uh
a mí I get scared for her to be on a bike you know .
but she'll ride with us .
she'll ride with us .
I really do get scared .
oye allí allí pa(ra) que tú
even though I ride but I have respect to it you know .
you're not that you're not that well balanced .
I ride
you have to be
how do I say ?
you have to be cut out for that .
because a lot of people cuando montan la la the motorcycles they believe that a motorcycle just by turning the wheel the motorcycle turns .
and you're going fast .
it doesn't work that
no it doesn't work like that .
when you wanna turn you have to actually with your body turn the motorcycle because it doesn't it actually wants to keep going straight .
so you know you turn the wheel .
yes you do .
but if you could actually turn
and stop moving your feets .
la tienes loca .
xxx .
tienes un reculillo .
come on .
.
.
the um the
reculillo tiene .
déjame sentarme aquí .
estoy más comoda aquí .
the bike actually you have to actually lean into the way you wanna go .
you have to push your body weight so the bike will go into the curves .
and now there's one old guy que he drove off the side of an expressway (be)cause we were coming up on the curve .
y parece que le cogió miedo la curva .
and he didn't lean into it .
se quedó recto on the bike .
and and what happens is is you do one of those like you know te va echando por un lado así like you're gonna fall off .
(be)cause you're afraid the bike's not gonna turn .
and he just went off the side of the road .
yeah that was before nos hicimos miembros nosotros .
or actually it was just about three weeks before nos hicimos miembros del club .
+ yeah <del ah before we
+ yeah <he broke he broke three ribs .
yeah .
poor thing I know .
y el el problema que tiene que la cogió miedo a la moto .
ahora está
no pero you can't .
if you're gonna ride it you you can't be afraid of it .
(be)cause
no you'll the the biggest problem why people
I am to be honest with you I'm scared of it .
I'm scared that I won't have the capacity to be able to ride it to learn how to ride it .
no I don't .
I dri(ve) I I ride behind him .
no she she she rides behind me .
and you know when he leans
she actually doesn't need to grab on to me (be)cause my bike it has a a a backrest for her .
so when I'm you know in the back relaxed when he turns I lean a little bit like with
yeah she's learning .
yeah she's not like when we first started .
so
yeah she would like you know when you get on the curve and if I'm going really fast you have to really lean in to it you know .
but you don't fall because it's all centrifical force .
so you you know you're actually leaning the bike pero you know .
you don't fall .
yeah .
yes .
and Alyssa she's gotten used to it .
yeah ella se
yeah I've gotten used to it .
ahora no le tengo miedo .
she she's getting she's
and we have a good time .
we went to también a Saint_Augustine .
oh San_Agustin we love it .
we went a big group .
Liliana went .
yeah .
Liliana went in her car .
yeah .
Liliana followed us in her car con Ana .

e iban las dos locas through the sunroof taking pictures .
they got so many pictures that it was amazing .
it was really nice .
yeah but we have
we had a great
it's a lot of fun .
there's you know right now in the club there's a lot of controversy
it's worth it .
it is worth it .
people that like it .
+, (be)cause there's a lot of people .
and you can learn how to ride a bike good .
and you know you go easy .
you maintain the speed limit .
you do everything one behind the other one .
you don't have no problems .

then you're going to have problems .
yeah there's people that race the bikes when we go through twenty seven .
just for racing .
you know I don't recommend it to anybody .
to anybody .
no they ride at close to a hundred and sixty miles an hour .
no .
we've been on our bike like we've we've gone up to about a hundred .
once you get used to cruising at seventy five eighty you actually when you go slower it feels like nothing .
actually last weekend yo estaba haciendo signal pa(ra) sacarle pie pa(ra) to show that there was a dead otter in the middle of the road .
Aaron that's a good one .
and I took out my foot .
and you're supposed to actually you know if there's something on the road or some kind of an obstacle since everybody's riding together if you're in front the guys in back can't really see when they're coming up to it .
so what you're supposed to do is you're something on the road on your side you're supposed to put out your foot .
and to show you know .
you're not supposed to lay .
but apparently I calculated wrong .
and I left my foot down too far .
and I hit that damn otter .
I almost broke my leg .

I almost broke my leg .
it was really hard .
we're doing almost seventy miles an hour imagínate .
the pain that he had .
something laying there and then you kick it .

and they don't pay membership for a couple of years .
and then they come back .
and they wanna pay their one year .
and then like if
my dad was complaining .
he said
