if you're curious about the omake at the end - it's a reference to a chinese meme song that was popular a while back! the song is called 骑上我亲爱的的小摩托 'riding my beloved moped.' here's a performance video.

it doesn't come with lyrics but i mean, the lyrics are basically just 'riding my beloved moped, i bid goodbye to traffic jams, soon i will be home' repeated a bunch of times...

Wait a second...."take my car" he said....but that's a bike...what?....am i hallucinating?

Also....why does he have Iannone's racing Ducati? Dude, that bike is clearly not meant for streets beside costing about half of a person organs on sold on a shady market.....

@fantasymaster lol, that's probably my bad! the nuances don't really translate well, so here's my long tl note --

most words in chinese are compound words. in chinese, a car is 汽车 and a motorcycle is 摩托车; you might notice that both of them include the 车 character. so yang yao says 'take my 车' and it's not entirely clear what kind of vehicle he's actually referring to.

you use 车 as a compound for a lot of things, though. for example, 车 could also mean a bicycle (自行车) but most people would assume you're referring to a motor vehicle.

that's actually the joke in the omake, too! you expect it to be a car, but instead it's a three-wheeler / pedicab (三轮车).

"Take my car"
*Is motorcycle*

I freaked when he threw that helmet! Good helmets are so expensive!!

@astarael is it like the equivalent of saying "take my ride"? Like its a vehicle, but ambiguous?

@yannickq yep! i just went with 'take my car!' because it sounded less stilted in english to me and it didn't occur to me that motorcycles are not considered cars in english, lol.
