Ramsay expressed his admiration for the bikes and their performance. However, he emphasized the importance of wearing a helmet when riding a bike.

He expressed that he is still experiencing discomfort and the past seven days have been extremely difficult. Nevertheless, he took the time to extend well wishes to all the fathers and new fathers on the occasion of Father's Day.
