If you are for real, you probably spend enough time on your bike that there's no time left for talking sh*t on message boards.

Of course, if all you do is talk sh*t on message boards, you're probably not as good or as cool as you think you are.

Hey gonz and the rest!

My Dad immigrated to the states in the 1950's and my mom is American born. On my mom's side, my great grandparents were some of the first Filipinos to become share croppers here in the early 1900's on the Pacific coast. Me being 3rd generation... I'm essentially a white guy with a tan!

I don't speak Tagalog, and my Dad struggles with it, even though it's his native language. I work for the Knights of Columbus, which is huge in the P.I., so when KofC members travel here, I have a good repoire with them. Now, I work with a lot of the KofC and FilAm members here in the Bay Area.

My wife and I plan on traveling there in the next few years. I still have family there and we'd have plenty of hospitality. My family actually still owns land there, and my Dad is wondering if he should sell it or not. However, it may be in my interest to build a vacation home there.

Anyhow, thanks for posting all of this... it's incredble to see the scene from my "Other Mother Land" and my Pinoy brothers tearing it up!
