Hello dear biker friends,

I'm 46, born in France and now living in Portugal. Like all of us here I love motorcycles, have had quite a few, life would just not be the same without them. I started at the age of 14 with my first 50cc moped. Since then I have been lucky to own a long list of motorbikes, from 125s to 1200s, and then down again! I have learned that capacity is not everything. I would rather ride a well tuned 50cc moped than a misfiring superbike... I am a firm believer that one can have fun on any two-wheel, never mind the engine capacity, never mind the bike's image.

I ride a Honda VRF800, a 50cc and a KTM offroad. Portugal is paradise for European enduro riders. We are blessed to be able to ride enduro, across hills etc, quite freely, something that is no longer possible in most other EU countries.

I know Tamil Nadu quite well for having lived a few years there. (Tamil konjam konjam pesuren!)

I look forward to being part of this forum, in some way or the other.

Safe riding all and greetings to all from Portugal
