Denise and i and Jim Nance visited briefly with Luciano and his father at the hospital in Durham, North Carolina this afternoon.
Little Lucho looked great, all things considered, and he and his father were very gracious and kind to so warmly welcome three total strangers into their lives with no notice like that.
we brought Lucho a small bag of miscellaneous moto-swag (which also included some items for his father), and the smile on Lucho's face i wouldn't trade for a million dollars.
one of the items in the collection was a spiffy new black ball cap emblazoned with the  logo, altho the interpreter struggled a bit converting "Carolina Corner Carvers" to something that made sense in Spanish. :-)
we also enclosed a get well card signed, in part, by BadWeatherBikers.com.
we were also extremely fortunate to able to express our personal condolences to the Wilson Family, who were visiting with Luciano and his father when we arrived.
to be able to hug them and cry with them is also a priceless gift from today, truly something none of us will ever forget.
i'd like to thank Tim, the interpreter, for doing such a wonderful job conveying such difficult emotions on our behalf, and special thanks to Geoff Hannen from Red Bull, and his associate (i'm very sorry, i've forgotten her name), for making us feel welcome and understanding why me 'n D felt so compelled to ride 300 miles with the hope of helping in a small way with the healing process.
i also had the good fortune to visit with Rubberdown, Twig, Ulywife and Fat Bastard at various different times on the phone today, which was also very cool.
thank you Denise, for being you and having the courage and conviction to come, and the same sentiment applies to our good friend Jim Nance, as well. thank you, ma'am; thank you, sir.
Godspeed Toriano Wilson, may you always ride in peace. thank you to the Wilson Family for letting us share in your grief. you have many, many new friends around the world who are pulling for you.
and thank you Luciano, and your very kind father, for making US feel special.
get well soon, Lucho.

Somedays, it's hard enough to explain it in English!
Sorry I was unable to help you this afternoon. I was out to lunch with my children. Sounds like you made contact with someone who could help.
Thanks for making a visit on behalf of BadWeB. I'm sure Little Lucho was very surprised to see such friendly faces show up with moto goodies. If there is anything else we can send, please let us know.

I hope that all this has helped Lucho not loose heart. Kids are resilient, and I hope he is able to come back from this and get back out there on the track. |

Another proud moment for BW 
Maybe Buell should rethink their tag line. Something along what honda used "You meet to most kind hearted people on Buell's" |
