Hi there - well, I'm British, but will post most stuff in Italian. I'm from London where we have cockney rhyming slang - now that really IS an interesting part of the English language. For example - "Got to comb me barnet hair". See you later geezers!

Cor blimey!!
Flippin nora!

Anyway, you need to live there long to catch the meaning of the rhymes.
I prefer sticking to the "old" cockney accent, with no "t" sound at the end of the words, with the "a" sound pronounced like a "i" and the "thr" pronounced like a "fr"!
Cab drivers language!

Ah, forgot: always ending a phrase with "in'i?" that stands for "isn't it?"

Hi...

is a really good idea a written english topic!!
Do you acept someone from México??!?! We could make one in spanish too!!!

Anyway... Enjoying an SV 1000 K3 on the beautifuls and with no many policemans maexican roads!!!

To bad this topic is going down hill.
Its a good practice for all of us to remain the English language.
Dont be afraid of making mistakes , I make many.

Final few ride outs are coming up.
The weather in Holland is getting really bad so i think I will make 1 or 2 ride outs
and then make the bike ready for winter.

Hope you guys over there are more lucky with the weather.

Hi all,
I'm also Italian, from Milan. I'll probably move to central London by the end of the year!
Not really enthusiastic on the biking side, I must say I'm a bit afraid of the bad weather and severe camera speed controls... 1170 mph on the highway, you guys are crasy I'm currently riding a small Aprilia RS 125, from what I could read it won't be easy to bring it to Britain and have it registered.
Better buy a used 600cc... how's the used market in the London area? Is it convenient?
and what about parking in central London? I hear you can't just leave your bike anywhere like in Milan. Any stealings? What bout the costs: MOT, tax, insurance?

Well hello to everybody, I will be very pleased to join the group of "English speaking people". I am Italian, I live in Italy but I don't have many opportunities to speak the language that I like so much.

mmm... OK only about a month old...


yo dudes, how's it hanging?

made a HUGE mistake last summer changing my Fazer1000 for a dumb old ars Triumph custom America... thinking "i'm getting old...misses wants to be comfortable"
it was the WORST thing I have ever done all my life!
it was SOLD by September!
Yes I was stupid... get the context: I have an R6 ony for track days so I thought I was safe for my "Need for speed"... but it's more than that... it's a way of life... feeling the bike, countersteering, pushing with your legs... all things that do NOT exists on those bikes... they are called "iron gates" for something in Italy

ah... and let me add how my back was hurting because you have to seat in it like a fat Harley plonker (sorry to everybody who owns a Harley...)
The engine dying when idle, pegs touching the ground at every round-about...
etc etc

NOW, I'm finally FREE of the plonkers bike and am choosing a REAL 2 wheeler

--anyway:
Hope to hear from your guys...

I have half an idea to ride up to the UK and stop in Canterbury for a while this summer...
Takers?

take care
ciao 4 now

ahhh 636! nice beast! congrats!

OK for the trip to UK...
FYI there is a nice small track in Kent just south of Canterbury... I might check it out if we get to go up this summer...

Let's see if others are interested to the trip...

ahhh 636! nice beast!

666 is a better beast... isn'it??
ok, just joking

If you guys like English so much, maybe you'd like my magazine that I publish called ITALIAN MOTOR. All about Italian bikes, and the occasional car. Have a look here: *****edit by mac71****
