Hi all


Just joined this forum yesterday. Came across it by chance, when looking for front suspension solutions for my Fazer.
My name is Daniel, 35, I'm from Portugal, and my Fazer has been part of the "family" since 2011. I did a longish run in it, in the spring of 2011, about 2500miles, with my wife for 13 days. Started in Portugal (near Lisbon) strait to Marbella. After that we started cruising the cost to Barcelona. After that, strait to Pamplona and then to the north. Really beautiful scenery. We cruised the  north cost, and then back to Portugal. It was a memorable ride :) . Anyway, my bike history started with a 50cc Yamaha, in Portugal called DT 50 LC. Staid with my for four years. After that XTZ 750 SUper Ténéré came along, then a Honda Hornet (CB600F), after that a Honda CBR 600RR, after that a Suzuki SV 1000N. Sold that bike and was without a ride for about 2 years until I could any more and got a Fazer. That's about it.


Cheers,

It's Olá, Hola is in Spain.


Well, it wouldn't be fare to have a crappy economy and bad weather, right? :lol  But you are right, about 50 rain days a year (average), no snow (where I live), not that cold in the winter, although some times it gets below 0ºC, but we can ride all year long.

Your mixing it.


"Boa" is Portuguese but "noche" is Spanish. The correct way would be "Boa noite"


I should probably star charging for the lessons  :lol

"Bom dia" - Good morning
"Boa tarde" - Good afternoon
"Boa noite" - Good evening
"Como está?" - How are you?
"Obrigado" - Thanks/Thank you


And so forth...
