from Belgium

Hello to all Silverwingriders in the world,I'm new on this forum, english is not my language (it's flemish), but I have a Silverwing 600, and that's all that counts here.Hope to read a lot of tips over our scooter.Mine is from 2001 and has 24.000km (or 15000miles) on the dashboard now.

Hallo Irothheut,

Welcom to dit forum. Ik bin JeffR and ik ridjt een Silver Wing ook. Welke staat woon je in Belgium? My Flemish of Nederlands is niet zo goed maar ik probere to spraak het. My vrouw is Nederlandse en haar erste taal is Nederlands. Ik vindt dat de SWing is heel comfortable and snel.

Welcom to the forum and hope you enjoy it. As you can see my dutch is not too good but I try when I can. If you have time please posts some pics in the Album section when you can, pics of you, your bike, and the scenery of Belguim. Again, welcome.

Welcome, I've been to Belgium once and it was beautiful. Love the old stone buildings. I bet there are some wonderful places to ride there.

Hi Irothheut,

Welcome to the forum. Glad to have you aboard

Hello Irothheut:
Welcome! Hope you enjoy this forum. Wow Jeff, a man of many talents. Good day to all.

Well, I'm sure Irothheut doesn't think that. He will probaly find many mistakes in the syntax, but I try. It's nice to have people from other countries here too.

Irothheut,

Welcome to this forum. Please do post some photos and stories about the rides you take around Belgium. I remember the times I spent in Europe (mostly Deutschland) and how often I wished I had a bike to ride while travelling.

Hello everybody,now I a have a little time to tell something about my Silverwing.Because of the trafficproblems in Belgium a bought a scooter for my work. It was this secondhand SilverWing 600 with only 13.700km on the counter after 6 years (8.500 miles).If I get used to your site a'll try to post some photo's. Last Year my wife and I went 3 day's to Germany with the scooter for a short holiday. We did 1000km (630miles) in 3 day's in very hot wheater. But even now I'll use it as much as possible even when in this frozen wheater. I'm glad to read that there's even so far away somebody who can write in my language! "Beste groeten" to you're wife!

Irothheut,

If you need help with posting pictures please just ask and I will send you the instructions in Dutch. My wife will need to translate them since my Dutch is limited, as you probably noticed. But please do post as often as you would like. I think I will also put a translator on the site too, i.e. like Babelfish. I wish my wife and I could take a 3 day ride too.

Oh, my wife just pointed out that I used a couple of German words when I first replied to you. I used to speak basic German with my Oma when younger, and I also took 3 years of German in school. I think I really need to try harder with my Dutch.

Welcome!! Please do post some photos, I've never been to Belgium.

OK, it worked, there are a few photo's in "album" now.And if you've never been to Belgium, it takes a while to take photo's with such a fine wheater. It's always raining in Belgium (now, for example!)
