Apresentação Simon "Danger Cell" Miner,
Ola a todos!
Desculpa in advance, I am from USA and my Portuguese is limited to food, drink, and what you shout when your clutch cable breaks half way up a big rocky hill far away from home.
Faco post de traducao mais tarde para falantes de Portugues, com a ajuda da minha bela esposa.
I am 43 and began riding tt motorcycles at age 11 (honda xr 70-biscoito de cao). I rode this moto long beyond outgrowing it. Due to a heavy diet of dust from my friends and being outrun by every dog (my protections were primarily against dog bites, not falling), I developed a love of big powerful motos. So my next moto at age 15 was an, XR 500 R. Then the dogs no longer smiled, but trembled at my approach! And I worried they would die of hunger without the steady diet of my legs and feet!
Since then, I have had more or less, 30 different bikes from a YZ 490 (faz viuvas) to the GSXR1100 and everything in between. I have done informal racing in dirt (hare scrambles) and track days with gsxr750/ZX7RR, but mostly just rode daily on long deserted roads and trails alone or with friends. I like motos of all kinds, old, new, dirt, road, but mostly BIG capacity (most recently a 1979 GS1000, TL1000S, and I still have a DRZ400 in USA). Motorcycles have been my therapy and where i do my best thinking, like they are in my blood, as they are with many of you.
Having experienced most types of motos, in most every condition, my new love is to ride in different countries and cultures. My last true moto adventure before experiencing this beautiful country of yours, was to ride for 3 months from Nepal to Kashmir in far northern India on a local moto, the Royal Enfield Bullet.
Obrigadisimo amigos malucos por motas!
