My Motorcycles

  

Honda CB250

This was my first bike. I bought it just after getting the driver´s license, in Febrary '97. By that time I just need a bike that can take me to work and to university, since neither public transports nor the car can solve my scheduling problems of coordinating work with studies.

Soon I start loving ride this wonderful bike at the weekends and I even make a "long" and unforgettable Summer trip to Algarve with it. The Honda CB250 was a faithful companion for a year and I'll never forget it.

Honda CB500

In January '98 I purchased this tireless CB500, who followed me for more than two years without the smaller breakdown. More than thirty thousand kilometers with zero problems.

Riding this bike every day was a pleasure, I have very good memories about many adventures we had together. With my CB500 I travelled all over the country, from northern Minho to southern Algarve. It was in this motorcycle that I went to my first biker's meeting.

Honda VFR800fi

This is my current bike, since April 2000. Any biker's dream, the Honda VFR is a long lasting mith, a technological state-of-the-art bike.

With this bike I've travelled outside Portugal, adventured as far as Poland or Slovakia, crossed the Swiss Alps and ride at the "no speed limit" German highways. We even went to Northern Africa, until the western frontiers of the Sahara desert, where it is not possible to enter with a sport-touring bike.
