Completely off-topic, but I can't help but share my joy of discovering a fellow motorcycle enjoyer. My ICE propelled two wheel journey started only about a year ago with a 50cc moped, but I've since graduated to 125cc (mostly because I learned that here in Portugal, with the licence for a car, I can drive up to 125cc (in my country the limit is 50cc, which is why I started there)).

The moped was second hand SYM Jet 14, but the 125cc that I got was a brand new Honda CB125F, the very newest of models. It's incredibly fun and since I mostly use it to go to work and back everyday, it's more than enough.

In the post titled "Buying an unseen 1959 Triumph Bonneville T120", at the start there's a typo: "A lot of people wanted Harleys – but for some reason they just did spark anything in me."

This is probably just my personal error, but whenever I see Triumph bikes, I can't help but think about underwear brand Triumph (which are of very high quality, I've got a few, would recommend), I haven't tried any Triumph bikes but I do want to one day!

Thanks a lot for reading! And even going further and reading other posts than the one linked. I have corrected the typo - thank also for pointing that out.

Yes motorcycles are quite the joy! I am glad to hear of your discovery of that fact. I am a bit envious of you being in Portugal as I would expect the weather to allow for driving all year round?

Funny - for me it is the other way round. I always think of bikes even though I of course know of the underwear brand as well :)
