I grew up around the "Real McCoy" that story reminded of my uncles, was good to reflect a lil on that. Keep it up Willie, the ones that you do call freind are blessed to have a true freind.

Been a while since we've seen his writings...

I thought I'd drop this in, just in case you'd like to read more of his stuff....

This is one of my own favorites...

Will,

I ask for your permission to translate what you've written. I actually speak Spanish. You may guess I don't share your culture, a thing that could be true in a certain way, but the message, the very core your writing delivers is universal to all of us who ride no matter the place on Earth were in.

I felt identified. I have a long way to go though.

Thanks for uncovering this again. Those of us who are old farts and have been a part of the XLF since its earliest days came to know Willprevale and his talent for story telling. Within his tales are perspectives that only one fully acquainted with the culture as a participant could reveal. Our younger members and new riders would do well to reflect on the deeper meanings carried within these enjoyable posts.
