Very cool man. Beautiful area! I may visit afterall.
S7R, I visited Lisbon about (....calculator needed....) 24 years ago when I was 14. I remember those twisting streets and the guys buzzing through them with their euro brand bikes. (you probably have to stay in first or second for most of your city riding on that Busa). Anyway, the the city blew me away. I really need to save some dough and plan a trip through europe on a bike. Portugal is a beautiful place.
sidebar: One stupid and funny thing I did back then you probably couldn't do now was I bought a pair real and heavy brass knuckles at a Lisbon street market and managed to get them all the way through the airports and back into Canada (where my parents live) . now remember, I was 12 or 14 yrs old at the time, so I didn't know much about how stupid that was then and how insane that would be to try now. and besides they were great for punching steel hotel garbage cans. Pretty good paper weight too. It wasn't until years later they made them a felony to own them. I think they are still in a dusty old box at my parents. probably time to turn them in.
....anyhow, welcome to the board S7r, great pictures. You reminded me that there's a big old world out there waiting to be discovered.

IndyDave,
Those knuckles musta been handy to have. I mean, I don't know how many times I've been minding my own business when all of a sudden I was attacked by a steel hotel garbage can!!!
S7R4NGER,
Great shots. Mind sharing what kind of camera you used? I'm kinda into photography and plan to use my busa to get to photo ops like this... when I finally get a busa, that is.

I have never been attacked by a steel hotel garbage can, but now that IndyDave has mentioned it I've seen a few looking very suspiciously.IndyDave,
