Hi, I'm Miguel from Lisbon, Portugal and I have been reading this forum for a while, so this week I've decided to order an Vespa 300 black, an helmet Momo Fighter, Tucano Urbano parka and the Termoscud. I really hope enjoy this as much as you.

Sorry, my poor english

Welcome Miguel, is the 300 Super going to be your first scooter or have you ridden before? It is a great scooter, I LOVE mine.

Welcome to the community.

I don't know why you all apologize for your poor English. Hardly any of us here in the States have a second language.

My Portugese is limited to pronouncing Christano Reynaldo. And I'll bet I got that wrong !

I couldn't even begin to converse on a foreign scooter forum.

Yes, It will be my first scoot, since a motorcycle crash in 91 I don't have any bike. I use to run in endurance 125 promotion. Let's see how It's going to be.

Oh, of course I will put some pics later.

By the way, your English is way better than my Portugese. I love Lisbon and the Algrave and I've spent four weeks in Portugal on vacation over the years.

Off Topic, how do you put your logos in the end of the message. I tried the http adress of an image in the profile signature, but it don't show up.

Thanks

Welcome and congrats to your recent purchases!

On the language subject. As long as you came make yourself understood all is great!

Born and raised in Europe do give you the benefit of speaking multiple languages. I myself speak 5, most of them just manageable but it's often enough

Your english sounds great! Your Vespa will sound even better and you will look neat driving!
