Hello everybody, new member from Portugal

[Durvas]

Long story short: last bike was an R1, got stolen (yeah, still really pissed about that one... ), tried an MT-09 as a suggestion, got myself one on the spot

About me: I'm from Portugal and love to ride motorcycles as much as i do travelling (been on one as far as i can remember);
Also, although i 'm fortunate enough to have a job allowing for loads of travelling, it also comes with less riding than i'd like to... well, in the end, as someone once told me, we can never have it all


Greeting to everyone and looking forward to enjoy the new ride.


Durvas,

That's correct! the western most point in europe
You're more than welcome to join in for a ride and a beer I don't know if you ever came this far "down" on two wheels but i can say it's quite a nice ride to do; been in Southampton with the R1 back in March this year and can't complain about either the trip up or the way down

google says i can get there in less than a day............i think it might be a bit longer than that but if the summer is going to be this good again next year then im game to do some touring in europe. ive seen most of thailand now so a change will do me good

Or you can "cheat" a little bit and skip the "baguettes" and "croissants" by getting on the ferry from Portsmouth to Bilbao/Santander (or Poole - Gijon)
However 24h on a boat with nothing better to do other than hit the bar tends to add "extra bends" upon arrival... hehehe

Thailand is on my checklist... closest i've been so far was riding around Japan

let me know when youre thinking about thailand, ill have you on a big bike n ready to ride as soon as you land if you like!
-although a day or 2 in town is always good before hitting the mountain roads.
