When I was in 5th grade a new student came in, he was from Bari, Italy and his name was Massimo, being born in America I had never heard the name before. His English wasn't the best and he took some ribbing from the other students for his name and his English. That didn't last too long as we became best friends and the ribbing stopped immediately, we were the two biggest kids in the 5th grade. His whole clan moved into a house down the block from the school, grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews. It was a beautiful thing going over that house seeing so much life and love they had. They made you feel so welcome, like a part of the family, never forget that.
I dont really participate in the HD or Goldwing culture. My first bike was an ACE Tourer and I put almost 100k miles on her with very little trouble, so another Honda felt right. I fell in love with the F6B at first glance. With just over 10,000 miles I am very happy with my decision. I ride with a select group of guys that I trust and consider them as my friends. I hate riding in large groups or alone, but I do enjoy small rallies and used to really enjoy the Tourer rallies.
