Real English Twenty-I can't afford it.

Mr. T bought a new bicycle the other day.  

Glenn:  What's going on?

Mr. T: I bought a new bicycle the other day.  I have a photo of it on my i-pad, you wanna see it?

Glenn:  Love to.

Glenn:  Wow! Cool! What kind of bike is it?

Mr. T:  It is made by Moulton Bicycle Company.  Have you ever heard of it?

Glenn:  No, I haven't.  Is it a famous company?

Mr. T: Yes. Very. Google it if you are interested.

Glenn:  Will do.  In the meantime, tell me about your new wheels!

Mr. T:  It took about one year to make.  I placed the order sometime last year. It is totally custom-made.  After taking my measurements, for example my height, weight, length of arms, legs, etc.,  they designed the bike specially for me.  It is truly "MY BI-cycle!" There is no other bicycle in the world like it.  It is one of a kind!  They say "it is the most efficient bicycle in the world."

Glenn:  Did you already take it for a test ride?

Mr. T:  You bet ya, as soon as I got it! Over the Golden Week Vacation, I rode about 300k in all, on average 50k a day. I had 6 days off.  

Glenn:  How was it?

Mr. T:  It was a smoooooooth ride! Like Silk!

Glenn:  But it looks small.  Is it fast?

Mr. T:  Yes, and very light.  The highest speed that I can reach is about 45kph, but if my legs were stronger I could ride a lot faster.

Glenn:  Do you wear a helmet?

Mr. T:  Of course.

Glenn:  How much is it?

Mr. T:  Guess!

Glenn:  I have no idea.  Just tell me.

Mr T:  2.5 million yen.

Glenn:  2.5 million?!  Are you serious?!  It costs as much as a car!

Mr. T:  Yes, it does.  Do you wanna get one?

Glenn:  I wish I could, but I can't afford it.
