Before I get into match day mood, a quick catch up. Summer has defo finished and the rain has arrived = less riding and messy dogs. On an errand in town yesterday though, rain doesn’t stop the rally Legends doing their thing !

Can only get 2 metres of firewood at a time if the Himi wants to retain her parking slot 🤣 #motosky

So the second part of the N108/N222 tour in Northern Portugal took us from Vila Nova da Foz Coa back to Porto with some epic ‘B road’ detours on the way ! #motosky NB please excuse the ‘matchy, Matchy’ shirts 😆

Yesterday, gave big Phil a tour up the N108 from Porto (stopping in Gondomar to pay our respects to Diogo and Andre 🙏🏻) ending in Vila Nova de Foz Coa … today we head back via the N222 and the Portal do Inferno em Arouca !

Little ride out to the highest point in Portugal yesterday with George the pillion and Lee on his NC750 DCT ! Epic ! #motosky

So yesterday, I had a pillion so didn’t get my weekend fix on the Himi … so … I went to see where Wellington helped the Portuguese kick the French out of Central PT and then thought a little Atlantic paddle might be nice with a smidge of off-roading (with hard luggage 😬) #motosky

Definitely cooled off in the forest … morning dog walks are hopefully less sweaty for the next few months !

A mate had his first ride out on his new Honda NC750 DCT today … lovely green colour - he was chuffed to bits ! That my Himi450 in the background being used as a clothes horse 😂 #motosky

A little Sunday blast out to my local mountain, Caramulinho, Portugal. It’s 10m shy of Mount Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) in Wales. You can ride through spectacular scenery and twisties to just below the summit. The last 100m you can do on foot … but not today as it’s 30° 🥵 #motosky

Nice and warm in central Portugal but swimming is prohibited 🚫… shame !

Been a funny old day … went out on the bike (post work) but neck glands are up and feeling a bit off … coordination is off. So went home and took photos of stray cats that have moved into the outhouse.

What a blast … more to come on this day out in Northern Portugal … we visited a very special place not open to the general public, a bikers paradise !?😮😉

Porto … downloading !

Indy is locked and loaded. Got a Royal Enfield ‘One Ride’ out to a yet undisclosed location tomorrow - exciting 👌🏻

Taking the opportunity to do a bit of moto shopping and a chill in a hotel today though !😜 #motosky #royalenfield

Been touring Europe in a van and saw the weather was looking sweet back in Portugal … first day I’ve managed to get out ! Breath … #motosky

The Pedro and Inês Bridge (Royal Portuguese lovers 🇵🇹) across the Mondego river … lovely spot for todays dog walk and a quick snog 😂

Firstly … Szobo ! 😜
Secondly, I see Howe’s problem … he is taking notes with a pen which is the dream of most 7 year olds 🤔

What a bind…had to put the panniers on and go shopping in the city. Had to follow the river through the valley to make sure I didn’t get lost … I hate running errands 😉😉
February 22, 2025 at 9:28 PM
Hit 19°C today, so stretched our legs and hit the beach 😜 #motosky
February 20, 2025 at 8:25 PM
Happy Saturday … it’s a ride out with filming, some photos and some footie later … what an absolute perfect day !
