    Aww, don't take it personally, on the internet Valentino himself could post something and the repost po-po would be all over it. I searched for 'Japan' and 'Goldwing' (as I remember one of the earlier threads mentioned Japan) and found a previous thread, and have now merged them, all at no charge!
