  1. Also looks like a am experiencing lower temperatures here than home
     
  2. How’s the Hertz bike? I rented a 1300gs from them in Faro back in April. While it worked and didn’t let me down the tyres were shot and it was a bit shagged.
     
  3. You should be thankful, a week ago most of South Europe was unbearable...
     
  4. More like it

  9. Looks great. What were the costs to rent the bike, as that could be a good option for me later in the year?
     
  10. A few spots of rain today then blue sky's...only 23 degrees c

  12. Hertz bike was 750 euro all in. some checking by me needed when I get home as the mentioned unlimited mileage, then charged. Bike ok tyres were good but getting close to dead now :)
     
  13. A lot more twisty today and tighter turns. Slower speeds means less ventilation so rhe valleys were hot for me and bike. Fan would kick in with ignition off

  17. Sadly, passed what I think was a goldwing 3 wheeler that had been rear ended by a car. Either that or the car had got so much of it, it was now a 6 wheeler
     
  18. main road opens up around pinhao...and some idiot was pushing their cart too hard.
