We Look for a Beach and Find a Castle - Adventures in Portugal - S01E06

This time on The Swiss Motard:
- It turns out I might need satnav.
- The sun is shining and the roads are glorious.
- Getting lost has its perks too.

...something about you and the word castle . As you mentioned before, you may not be much of a people-person... but you sure do have a lady friend on the back of your bike ! Nice !!!

So what's it like to ride on the right side of the road, may I ask ?

(also, you mentioned in your vlog that your lady friend had a bit of an accent, and I was like... whaaaaat ??! heheh ~)

Castelo!

I have 2 main issues when riding on the right, roundabouts ALWAYS feel wrong, and when no cars are around and I first get on the road I have to really concentrate to make sure I stay on the "right" side!

I'm lovely in person, just misunderstood on the internet

That lady friend on the back is the reason I got my licence, she's from a biking family.

Lucky ~o~ ~

I've never driven on the left side of the road before in my life... when watching vlogs and the like, I try to wrap my head around it, which is near impossible - I always want to slide right ~_~ . My uncle in-law drove in Hong Kong (from China) once and says it's not that hard... I'm not so sure ~.....

...and no, I've never misunderstood you here, my friend... lovely should be your middle name hahah! jk , but in all honesty, I've never thought anything different about you. I wonder what it is that others do ???.....

She also encouraged me to get my dream bike (the Street Triple, not the XT660R!) as my first bike, she might be a keeper

Regarding the side of the road you ride on, it depends on the person. Some people (such as the lady friend) find it very strange but other than those 2 situations I've never had any problems.

The Street triple is an interesting looking bike . A while back, someone within my neighborhood had one... saw him selling it a couple of years ago ~_~ . He was a bad rider, anyways (he almost ran into me a couple of times in my car, the fool @o@ !)~

It's pretty much a unicycle, especially with the missus on the back.
