Hello

Post by rrr1980 »

Hello,

I write from Italy. Sorry for my horrible English.

I've got a 1976 A/3 Morini 3 1/2 GT.

Regards,

Hello - don't worry, your English is not horrible (my Italian is horrible).
I also have an A/3, recently back on the road. I also have a J, soon to be back. I'm lucky to have some nice quiet roads around here.

Buongiorno! That's about it for my Italian, though I did once manage to communicate with Luigi Frigerio to buy some Gilera Nordwest tuning parts OK, but there was a lot of pointing at things accompanied by "questo".

Welcome.

Indeed. Very useful when pointing at things that you want on a parts list illustration ;)

We managed pretty well actually once we found his workshop in Canonica d'Adda. The next time I went I made sure I'd written down the names of what I needed in Italian in advance. I can only cope with reaching a 'get by' standard in one language other than my first. That's French - which proved very helpful when I had the Voxan!

These days Google Translate and email makes things much easier, so I've been able to buy some things through Ebay.it without any communication problems.
