Amici Veloci – REORDER TIME

**mtbdarby** · 06-05-2006, 06:23 AM

As always I"m a little pokey. I'm hoping to get my order in by the end of the week. Was there a translation of the words posted? I'd like to here that again. I'm leaning toward a ls jersey & maybe a jacket.

I went back & checked the sizes on post 117. I see you guys were razzing my team Polska guys again, lol.. Don't you know they are the motivation to get me through my races??!!

Goss, I love red....'cept they don't look like that when they're ridin', hehehehehehehe

I think it is Latin, not Italian for "fast friends" (puns intended, I'm sure!)

Amici Veloci is supposed to mean Fast Friends in Italian, according to Babelfish. Maybe all this time we've been wearing jerseys that really say something like "When pigs fly".

Matching socks?

Babelfish is correct. I knew Amici before, and asked my friend (who is fluent in Italian) about the word "Veloci." She asked in what context, and I told her, and she replied, "Fast friends, that's cute!"

Well thank goodness. I think when we came up with the name, we relied on bablefish. I always had this little nagging fear that we'd come up with some italian curse word.......

My son (age 2) has that helmet. He is ridiculously cute in it. I will have to post a pic later.

thanks - we will now return you to your regularly scheduled programme

**Geonz** · 06-05-2006, 11:49 AM

(I will - at least arm warmers and short sleeve! - when I get back from GITAP and there's a new paycheck in the bank... *maybe* a bigger one...)

**Brandy** · 06-05-2006, 12:54 PM

I want that helmet too! Too bad that I have a huge noggin.

I thought it was "I love speed!"

Never fear, fishie. My credit card and I may yet agree to disagree on whether or not I can afford armwarmers, as long as someone tells me how I know what size to get (the Voler site wasn't helpful) and as long as the postage over the pond isn't going to be exorbitant...

Great photo of y'all in your AV kit, by the way.
