This is Portugal, Ride Down the Mountains to Lisbon Coast.. (Ponte 25 de Abril Lisboa at Night)

[@iPedroMota]

Check out the other riding videos of Europe kzbin.info/www/bejne/d53bmniXoraWoNE Riding that bridge into that city, it was like the boy who saw the ocean for the first time.

[@jacodejongh9885]

I have basically seen all uploads. Give us More bro!!! waiting every weak for your uploads haha. Big Transalp fan. BIG!!!!

[@elad311]

It's so exciting seeing you drive there.. Months ago I was inspired by you and other moto vloggers to take motorcycle lessons during quarantine. In August I got my license, in September I flew to Lisbon to visit some friends, and in the heat of the moment, instead of flying back, I bought my first motorcycle - a 250cc Honda, and went on for the first motorcycle ride in my life - just over 3000km back to Italy. It's so cool seeing you drive where I've just been not long ago, terrified on the Lisbon bridge highway lol I crashed once in France and broke a finger, but was it worth it? definitely.

[@iPedroMota]

Awesome to hear, no regrets once you've experienced it eh. Keep making those km's

[@luisbraz-ruivo]

Are you the only Italian that didn't know how to ride a motorcycle? Welcome to the club, now you got infected by the motovirus, there is no cure or vaccine. Crashes do happen hopefully not very often. 👍👍👍

[@elad311]

@@luisbraz-ruivo Well most Italians can drive scooters because a car license allows you to ride up to 125cc. But I wanted the A2 license for a bigger first motorcycle 😏 And the crash happened during my first ride in rain - I took a turn slightly too sharply...

[@AmbaMerlinson]

@@elad311 you got a licence, great. Stay save, have a lot of fun. you already made the expierience that roads are slippery when wet (-: especially after long time dry and then a bit rain is enough to get a kind of wet-soap on the roads. Like riding fresh snow with regular road tires here in germany.

[@johndemmink1260]

Because of watching your videos for awhile now, I bought an 89 TransAlp to give adv riding a go. I’m 61. Thx Pedro.

Your excitement was more contagious than ever, Pedro! This was a real special one.

[@KLRmurdercycle]

To the fuel question....Yes. Have you ever started fueling up and a very shapely set of legs comes out of the store and gets into a jeep, and before her door shuts, you've overfilled the tank? ✌😆 Good sound track in this one😁

Pedro,s indicator use...pick a side...leave it going...what you do about it is your business! I am so visiting Portugal next year. Excellent video 👍

[@patrickcooper9641]

In Western Europe, you hear about Italian food, Spanish food, French food, Greek food....but not much about Portuguese foods but in my experiences their way/method of cooking and use of ingredients is way up there in my book. Portugal is a fantastic place to experience. Cheers

[@tramagacity]

No doubt portuguese gastronomy is on another level compared to french, italian or spanish, however i do not understand why people dont talk about it.

[@patrickcooper9641]

@@tramagacity Portugal hasn't been discovered by mass tourism yet! Let's try to keep it that way as long as possible because when this happens they will have to start with frozen foods and all that good stuff. It happened in Italy. Until bout 20 years ago, you could not eat pizzas at lunch. Now (before Covid) most restaurants that only survive on tourism, the tour buses and cruise ships, serve pizzas all day. Pizzerias don't open for lunch! Same with cappuccinos, any coffee drink with milk should only be had for breakfast, not after 11 am. Now you can in most places. Spaghetti and meatballs is a big no, no. Well restaurants serve them. Italian will eat meatballs, then they would have a plate of spaghetti. These are just the basics. So lets keep Portugal under the radar. Ciao

[@tramagacity]

@@patrickcooper9641 completely agree with you.

[@TheJoaoeisabel]

Muito bom Pedro! N2 é a maior estrada contínua da Europa e uma das mais belas! Desafio-te a fazeres o percurso de Chaves a Faro! Já quee estás em Lisboa, vai a Sintra fazer umas curvas! Eu sou de Lisboa, se precisares de algo é só dizeres!

[@Bladeptpt]

Boas Pedro, vires á Portugal e não fazeres a nacional 2 é praticamente um crime.... Chaves a Faro, divinal!!! Abraço e boas curvas!!

[@luisbraz-ruivo]

Those trees reminded you of eucalyptus trees in Australia because they are eucalyptus trees! Originally the bridge had two lanes each direction, because it is a traffic jam most of the time they squeezed and extra lane on both sides. Yes Lisbon, where I learned to ride motorcycles, can get very slippery streets when it rains.

[@mr.solitude3352]

The bike's engine sounds sweet. Thanks for that auditory treat.

So nice to see you riding in "my" roads, especially since I've been living in the Netherlands for 12 years now, coming from Lisbon, so I can relate to a lot of what you're saying.

[@dbharrold]

I love Portugal. I travelled to Lisbon from Lagos on a train when my flight was cancelled when the French went on strike. Great adventure didn't spend long enough in Lisboa. Looking forward to the next video

[@federicosoto3060]

after travel the entire world,come back to your birthplace crossing the espectacular bridge,have no price,i feel your emotions trhu the screen,congratulations!!

[@markmark2080]

Thank you, my son, for coming into Lisbon the way you did. On my first of 5 cruises to the Med in the Late 60's, we were anchored (or tied up, can't recall) just east of that bridge on the Lisbon side, the view brought back memories as you rode over it. Atlas sure makes some sweet, happy "twin" music as you wind through those beautiful twisties. That took me back to the 70's and 80's when the music from our Norton Commandos would serenade the Rocky Mountains, more recently in the 90's on a Buell. There's nothing (in my book) that sounds better than a proper, happy twin, on a good road. It's always good to see you healthy and happy, Cheers.

Use reflective vest when dark, Pedro. It cost nothing, weight zero but changes a lot for your visibility and safety.

[@andrewonmyway8184]

I also liked Thunderbirds as a kid or even now. Amazing what nightmares a puppet show can put ideas in our young heads. Nice bridge by the way.

[@m000Theevilcow]

Excelente Vlog Pedro, ao ver a passagem pela 25 de Abril relembrei o video do Miguel Oliveira no dia em que fecharam a ponte por uns minutos para que ele pudesse cruzar solo .. continua a viver o sonho rapaz ..

It reminds you if Australia because of the Eucalypti... They are a tree that dry up the land a lot and if unkept will be an amazing fuel for forest fires. In the 80's the Prime Minister said it would be our "Green Oil"... It is, but not in the way we thought. You also NEED to go to Arrábida, my own backyard, when it's sunny.

Hey Pedro...I'm going to take you up on your 'Most Beautiful Bridge in Europe' challenge: if you plan to ride back to The Nederlands go via Millau, Aveyron, S. France. You can rip up the Gorges around there while you're at it! BTW, the viaduct was designed by an englishman.....one of the things we didn't mess up! ;) Think Portugal's going to have to go on my bucket list. Passeio seguro :)

[@iPedroMota]

Exactly that, I've always said Istanbul reminds me of Lisbon. The coastline and the great bridge to Asia, love it.

[@keesverhagen9227]

Tried the Tenere 700. I was very sceptical because it way lighter then the big ones we are all used to for the last few years. Like the ktm1290 or the bmw1250 and so on. Beleive me Pedro. If you are going around the planet another time? Take the Ten700 in consideration. It ticks all the right boxes for that kind of trips. Expecially with a few minor adjustments. Like the spring and some protection. And with a decent kind of softluggage and a rotopack.

[@iPedroMota]

No doubt about it. Was eying one one the street the other day and it surprised me how relatively "basic" it looked which was nice. They should make an even lighter one without the ABS and other unnecessary stuff. It's top on my list to ride on one day.

[@firesail6707]

Perhaps already mentioned, Joseph Strauss designed the Golden Gate Bridge as well as the 25 April Bridge, hence the similarity. I rode across your bridge on a rented GS and the 40 mph crosswind scared the piss out of me (and my daughter on the back).

Hi Pedro, I'm planning on doing the N2 from Chaves to Faro next May (Covid permitting) and after watching your video I really fancy going off route and spending a night in Lisbon. What I was wondering, is the motorway from Montemor-o-Novo into Lisbon over the 25th of April bridge a conventional toll? I realise that there are various types of toll road in Portugal, some having to be pre booked, my original plan of sticking to the N2 wouldn't have this problem.

[@waltbarbour207]

Having watched the video again it would appear you can pay in the conventional way.

A question about what you said about Portugal being on fire every year, I have been hiking a lot in Spain and I have noticed that they have a lot of cleared space in the forests, especially on the hill tops, and every day there is an airplane checking for fires, are the Spaniards on top of the situation, compared to Portugal, Australia, California etc?

Hello Pedro! Could you please do a review of your LS2 Evo helmet? There are not many informative reviews on KZbin for this very interesting helmet.

[@iPedroMota]

I did a quick rundown once in South America but can't remember which video. The helmet is alright for the price, love the style and design. I do think the build is a bit flimsy though, feels a bit cheapish, also the screws keeping the two parts of the helmet together have resonated out repeatedly so I've tightened those hard with loctite. All the mechanisms still working though after a solid year of use, nothing has fallen off yet or ripped. It's very noisy. Inside is pretty comfy though and I can't ride without peak anymore, especially off-road, though of course it loves to catch the wind at higher speeds. Sun vizor is nice too. I just wouldn't want to crash with it at high speed. Other than that I don't really have the knowledge or vocabulary to explain certain details.
