Infact I saw that a lot of person red my mail, but nobody wrote me.
Sorry.
What kind of mistake did I make?

Yes you did, two..!! First if being born in 1959 makes you old then i'm ancient. Second there's no sauce on the spaghetti. Welcome to outer space, looking forward to seeing the new Rocket..

tanks for your reply, it is the first mail in this forum!!!!
These spaghetti are tipical italian culinrecipe, named " carbonara": no tomato sauce, but there are : eggs, bacon , parmigiano -cheese, pepper. They are very good, and after 500 kilometers by rocket are very interesting!!!

Valerioroma,
Sorry,
I only get to look at the post very quickly when I get in from work and didn't welcome you to the forum.
Make youself at home.
A lot of nice people on here and a great source for information.
Newbys are most welcome.
If you have any questions, just post them, someone will be along shortly to answer.
Welcome aboard and post pics of your Rocket.
Again, Welcome from OKLAHOMA, U.S.A.

Your english is better than alot of Americans so don't worry about it,
We'll figure it out.
What color Rocket did you get?
Post pics.
We like pics.
1959 old?
Don't think so.
I was born in early 57 and I'm still a youngster.
you're only as old as you feel.
Good thing I don't act my age.
Hope I never do.
Still act like a kid my wife says.
Anyway, welcome to the site.
from OKLAHOMA, America

Valerioroma, welcome! If you are old (born 1959) then I am ancient (born 1958)!

But I am sure your Rocket makes you feel young, just like my Bonneville does for me.

Again, greetings!

Hi!
Tanks for your kindlies replies, I'm very excited to succeed in talking to some bikers in the other part of the world.
In what part of the forum can I talk about bike tours ?
Now I'm working in my hospital, in Italy it is 6.18 p.m.. I'll stay here until 8.30 p.m., and this night or tomorrow I'll try to post you some pictures of my rocket.
Italian greetings
Valerio

Valerioroma (we gotta shorten that... how's "Val"?),

1959 old? You're a mere youngster from this vintage 1951 guy! Riding a Triumph actually takes 50% off, so we're both around 25 again!!

Your English is fine, don't worry about it. Anyway, welcome to the forum. I don't think we are too formal here, so search around, but post whatever you want about bike tours, and maybe one of the moderators can help you out as to where to put it.

We look forward to your interesting posts from Italy. How does that Rocket handle those ancient twistie Roman roads?
