New Member in Portugal

Post by handkphil »

Hi All. New member here, living in Portugal, an hour and a half west of Porto. The wife and I recently retired, and moved here from Michigan, USA. Just picked up a '19 Yamaha TMAX 530 DX yesterday. What a scooter! More nimble than the '16 Burgman 650 Executive that I owned previously, and much better brakes and suspension than my old '16 BV350. (...Though that one was a pretty great scooter too..)
Looking forward to learning more about my new ride, and meeting the fine folks here.
Regards,
Phil

I see what you mean, depending on your method of travel, it would be somewhere near here
