How do Honda Shadows bring a family closer together?

Another great story. My wife posts pics on facebook all the time of everything in the world. Well, out of the blue, my cousin, calls me. He lives about 3 1/2 hours away and I haven't talked to him in about 4 or 5 years. Anyway, he calls me up because he saw my picture on my aunt's facebook of me and my oldest daughter on my Honda Shadow. He called me because he has the SAME EXACT BIKE! Now, I thought I was a Honda nut, but he loves all things Honda Shadow with a v-twin engine. He has a VT 700 like mine and 500 also. He really wants to get a bigger on like the 1100. But, we will see. We talked for about 2 1/2 hours that night and have kept in touch. We are going to get together this summer and do some serious riding all over Michigan. And that's how the Honda Shadow brings families together.
