Title: Hello from Austria
Post by: tschisi on November 24, 2009, 12:54:44 AM

Hello!

My name is Chris, 26.
I am from Austria, so please excuse my poor english.
I own a 1990 KX500, a 2005 crf450r and a pitbike.
The most time i ride the crf on mx and enduro-tracks, but also love my 500, of course ;-)

As far as i?ve seen you guys really know pretty much everything about the kx500.
I?m glad so much people still ride these rockets and come together here...

Welcome Chris,  don't worry about the English.  What is your first language? German?  Aren't you guys suppose to have a KTM in your line up?

Yes, german.
You?re also right with the ktm, very much of them can be seen on our tracks.
But i?m a fan of japanese bikes, i think they are just more reliable.

Welcome to the site. On the German issue, can you explane the difference between high german and low german and which on is not written? A friend and I were talking about that this weekend on a road trip.

I don?t know if i got you right but what you can probably learn in schools is high german.
Low german is just some kind of slang which depends on the area it is spoken in.
It can sound really awful, mainly when you?re not from there...

Welcome Chris!

I have a real appreciation for all the Europe and Europeans, when I was 19 I spent 5 1/2 months and 17, 000 kilometers traveling around Europe on a Triumph motorcycle. I remember Innsbruck in May in a snow storm, that was really fun. It was a real education, I grew up in mid America, in Colorado Rockies and didn't think I would ever need to speak a foreign language. I sure was glad the that the Europeans I met new many languages. Now I live on the border with Mexico and It sure would have helped if I had learned a little Spanish also!

Again Welcome to the site!

Alan :-D :-D :-D
