  1. Pedro, You stated (or implied) that the Portuguese were the main drivers in terms of exploration. Now, I understand the statement is coming from a Portuguese national. Therefore, it has to be taken relatively (national pride may lead to subjectivity).

    One important fact is, when Christopher Columbus asked the Portuguese to finance the Atlantic exploration, they said no, whereas the Spanish said yes. Also, the entire pacific cost from Alaska to Patagonia was first and almost exclusively explored by the Spaniards. Also, the first circumnavigation of the earth was an initiative of the Spanish, not the Portuguese. This arguments, in my opinion, speak against your somewhat bold statement.

  2. Com o Tratado de Alcáçovas (1479) a linha/fronteira passava no meio do Atlântico…Com Tordesilhas é que Portugal ficou com parte do que que viria a ser o Brasil. Um abraço e boa viagem até à "santa terrinha"

  3. my Alp used to shake it's head like that when I took my hands off the bars, but only when the top box was was fully loaded. Maybe you could add some more preload to the rear shock…easy job on an Alp. I replaced my steering head bearings but it was still the same until I stiffened up the back end.
    Great to see some blue skies. Atlas sounds lovely. S/he's turning out to be a trusty travel partner…

  4. I HATE riding when it's wet out, especially over any painted lines. They're like "ICE strips". Pedro: rides thru a congested downtown with one hand, narrating a history infused travel vlog. Me: Eyes glued on every car's ass end, ready to back out into me.

  5. New Helmet and Jacket, I thought you where just going Jacket shopping. 🙂 Post a review of the LSL I thought of getting one, but HJC at the time had a better rating. Does the sun visor pull alot I skipped it.
