Hi, everybody!
First of all I hope you can understand my poor english, and I apollogize previously for some misunderstandings, cause I never learned this language as I wish and should. But I´ll make all effort I can to make me clear and learn more (about english and, of course, about our bikes!

Well, I think that´s enough for my first presentation, and I have some questions about chains and gear driven cam, but I guess it´ll be necessary to find the aproppriate topics. Please, don´t

me...

Best Wishes,
Jardim

Buenos Dias Jardim,
I apologise for my Spanish, do not apologise for your english (look what the americans have done to it! LOL), I'm a gringo living in France and am always getting it wrong in french!
Somebody out there will speak Spanish if the going gets tough.
Good luck and stay safe.

Welcome to the site Jardim. I get the added pleasure of trying to butcher the Japanese language lol

Being that Brazialians speak Portuguese, fractured Spanish will not help.

there you go Jardim, I messed your native language up big time!
Thank you for the correction route66 you are a scholar and a gentleman sir.

I'm riding down to Portugal in July, Jardim there is a big rally in Faro on the Algarve,there is a web site in Portugese, I'll try and learn some of your language whilst I am there.

Try Faro motorcycle rally in your search engine.

Good luck

Welcome Jardim!

I'd like to know if there are any big bike rallys in Brazil similar to Daytona Bike Week. As well as your country does with Carnival, I'd think a bike party in your neck of the woods would be one fine time!

Yo, gringo, what´s up?

Here in brazil we say: Bom dia, and not Buenos Dias

Thanks for wellcome me!
So, are you riding in France, too?
I really think that being in this forum will turn my english better!
Good look for you too and stay (and ride) safe!
Abrax!! (abrax is another way to say "um abraço", that means "a hug", and we use "um abraço" always when we say goodbye, thru phone or personally, to a male friend. With females we say "um beijo", that means "a kiss")
So, abrax!

Welcome from Texas, Jardim!

I won't pretend to knowing a second language other than my two years of Castilian (useless in Texas) Spanish.

El español (o castellano) es mui proximo del portugues, pero yo no lo hablo muy bién...

Abrax!!!

I guess I'm doing better than I thought. I got that sentence figured out. Don't try any difficult sentences on me please.

Hi, FX!
Thanks for the wellcoming!
I hope we can talk a lot thru this forum!
Dude, we have a lot of bike parties in Brazil, in a lot of places, near woods, at the beaches, or here in São Paulo (last year we had the São Paulo Bike Week, with Supertramp playing, a lot of bike manufacturers, customizers came too, like Russel Mitchel (Exile Cycles, the OCC owners too, etc.) but I don´t think it was a so big and famous event as Daytona... I hope someday...

Carnival is an enormous stuff, in all country (and it´s a big country, as you should know)
I´ll try to find out some sites, and then I´ll post it here, ok?

Abrax!!
