It was 1998, that I have been to the first foreign country....


United States of America. 1 US$ was around 148 yen then!


Could you believe it? I went to the motorcycle institute


in Daytona Beach, FL as I told you on the past blog.


It was really tough for me to pay tuition for the school,


and to soak up the culture there.


One day, I got stopped by a old skin head guy


when I rode my ride,KAWASAKI LTD550, which


I bought it at $750. And also,I wore the Harley t-shirts


from Japan. I did not have enough money


to buy my dream ride, Harley-Davidson.


He said, "Hey, why are you riding f××king Jap bike


with wearing a Harley t-shirts?"


Americans are proud of a American-made iron horse,


Harley-Davidson.


My life with Harley-Davidson had just been started then.

There are a lots of communication tools in my experiences in Japan, U.S and

middle east.

Of course, languages are most important. Now Spanish is getting major

one in California state as you know. I am thinking about learning one more

language. Besides language, martial arts skill, intelligence, artistic skill and

mechanical skill for automobile are great tools for me. I made a bunch of friends with

them all over the world, and work to use them.

What is your tool?
Today,I inspired some people with my experience in the States.

I was in Daytona Beach,FL 12 years ago. My dream was to be the professional

motorcycle mechanic. Later,my dream turned to be my PLAN.

Have you ever been to Daytona Beach? It is famous for the beach, Speedway,

and BIKE WEEK. If you love motorcycle, you should go there.

I will show some friends I met there later.

Well,dream and passion are always so important.
