i was talking to my woman about my bike. and she was like "i went to high school with the great grandson or grandson of Mr. Suzuki". i asked if she was friends with him. she said "she had classes with him, talked to him. but was more friends with his freinds then him."

i thought that was cool. i wish she knew him better. so i could get some good deals on bike parts

Just goes to show, you never know who'll be who when you get out of school.

Heck.. I went to school with Giovanni Alberto Agnelli - son of Umberto Agnelli and great grandson of the Giovanni Agnelli who founded Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino S.p.A. (FIAT). His uncle, Gianni (L'Avvocato), was grooming Gio to take over FIAT, but Gio unfortunately died of a rare cancer about 7 years ago when he was only 33. We knew who he'd be when he got out of school.. or at least who he was supposed to be had he not died so young.

Then again, I also went to school with Ted Turner, IV. Was sort of surprising when his own father (The Ted Turner) fired him, but seeing as how he bought a media company with $10 million (US) in sales 4 or 5 years ago, doesn't seem like he's hurting.

My friend (Whom I sold my 03 Ninja 500 to last spring) his sister is Rachel Ray on the food network. I feel connected cause she knows all these celebrities and gives her brother SOOOO much money. (It's disgusting how much she gives him).

When I shopped for leathers I dropped into a Ku%%%%ani shop and spoke with Mr. Ku%%%%ani. He was a young guy and his card indicated he was the V.P., so I'm guessing he's the son of THE Mr. Ku%%%%ani.
