hello fellow bikers, I am writing to you all from Mallorca, I have a motorcycle asseccories shop over here called Mundo de Motos, and I would like to help some of you out, as on my recent trip back from the uk ( I was picking up my GSX1400) and bringing it back here, it co-insided with the Valencia GP, so when we got to Portsmouth dock to find the ferry delayed for 7 hrs we got talking to a few poeple, one of them to be a fellow londenbiker named “B” (Brian) that does suspentions, any way, we did finally get off and head into spain, but on the way we stopped for a coffee or just a break, and found myself translating for alot of english poeple that didnt speak the lingo, and it felt great to help all these poeple out as I take speaking spanish for granted, so here is a little help to all you bikers that are going to go on a trip to spain, please take my number down and should you find yourselves stuck either on a break down or cant find a hotel or just simply lost and you need someone to speak the lingo for you. Please dont hesitate to call me. I can sort out just about anything for you. Or if you find yourself needing a part for your bike anywhere in spain, call! Take care everyone. I know the laws of riding in spain too, so you can also drop me a line on the email.
a few here will know that i’m going through the spainish courts at the mo with the theft of our Bar in Torre del Mar…loads of spanish lingo to wade through !!..which should keep you busy …you might wish you’d never offered…
Wow, thank-you Liza! Welcome to LB as well. B talked of you when he got back! Would love to ride Spain at somepoint in the near future, so will keep a note of this
How lovely for you to offer your help to so many people Liza! well it just goes to show that bikers truely look out for each other hope to see you on the boards!
Hello there Liza and welcome to LB… Brain was telling Jay and I all about his Valencia trip and the fact that he had met you… I think we even saw some photos!! Thanks ever so for being a true fellow biker and offering us your help if needed… Look forward to maybe passing by your shop one day…
Bienvenida, Liza, y a causa de tu oferta de traducción y asistencia no voy a golpearte con el palillo de nuevos – qué bueno, eh? (Y no sé como inserar los signos de interrogación, pero estoy segura que me entiendes muy bien.)
how great to get so many replys, I hope I can be of assistance to all of you in the future, I feel guilty telling you that we all get to use our bikes 12 months of the year, so the shop never stops, educating the spanish has been a task convincing them that flip flops and shorts are not the way to go has been fun to say the least, but I buy all my stock from the uk has made them realise that you dont have to pay through the nose to get quality, and the uk is years ahead. So all you fellow bikers get your ass’s over here, no matter what time of year it is, as winter is one of the best times to visit, as the hotels are cheap and the roads are clear! It has been around 24 degrees on average, what could be better? Should any one need the cheapest ways of getting hear just write me and I will tell you which ferrys to catch and hotels to book with. all the best.
liza
