We start of the day at the Portuguese dolmen Anta de Cortiçô, full of history and same goes for the old Spanish border castle of Linhares. After we ride into the mountains, touring some of the best motorcycle roads this country has to offer. Unfortunately, Brownie could not hang and has left us while I didn't notice.

There you go, another big boi episode. It's true about the camera angle, too low and me ducking more behind the screen to get cleaner audio doesn't help (can't tilt camera further back though). Speaking of that, the wind catcher is falling apart letting in more noise. I've got the items now to hopefully mostly resolve these issues starting the second episode once in the Algarve. So hang in there the next couple of videos, don't break your neck trying to look up beyond the screen, there's nothing there. Happy new year peoples.
Happy New Year! Come on 2021.....
Dont worry about it, u do the best u can, still very good beautiful content bedankt ;)
Keep on in there Pedro
It would be cool if the person who picks up Brownie gives it to his kid, then the kid grows up to be a moto adventurer and takes Brownie with him. I hope it's that, and not FLAT BROWNIE.
I'm a 23 yrs old from Brazil, my dream is to ride in places like that, such beautiful medieval architecture, while I can't do something like this I will take the ride on my screen, thanks for the video and ride safe!
I wish I knew your channel before I went to Portugal in 2018 , it would helped me a lot. I went with my family to the town my father was born , Vinhais , on Trás os montes , we stayed in Bragança and Lisboa , we loved it all. Cheers from Brazil.
Man thenk you for remaining me of the good times I head in Portugal and bringing back a lot of good memories and experience I head ther
I'm from Spain and i love ride in Portugal.
Your sould try N2 Route!! 👍👍
Already did a chunk in the riding to Lisbon video. Will end up doing more sine the N2 is INEVITABLE, buenos caminos.
@Pedro Mota I never did the entire route. But hopefully I will do it this summer. Just my old bmw, my tent and my gopro... sounds good 😏
just love it all is about the only thing to say thank you
As both an obsessive rider and a history nut, I'm a huge fan of the history coverage while riding!!!
Crazy coincidence. Just earlier I was watching a car review video done by a well-known Portuguese car magazine called Razão Automóvel. The test they were conducting was in Serra da Estrela and, because the scenes were so jaw-droppingly beautiful, I decided to search for the latest videos of this location because I've been wanting to visit it for a while. That's when I found your channel and this video in specific and, to my surprise, you guys went past each other at minute 29:50 when you were testing your brakes! They were testing the grey Jaguar F-Type and the blue Audi S4 Avant.
Your content is amazing. It makes me strive for the freedom to travel this beautiful country of ours one day.
Cheers pal!
Ha, think I might have ruined the shot there, now I notice the open trunk where they probably had one of the cameramen. Obrigado, you should one day but it even took me a while before I did.
No rain, a good day!!!
Fabulous video Pedro that must have been your best yet. What scenery, what roads, I loved every minute. I want to ride Portugal, I'm bloody old, bloody skint, Covid is in the way and my stupid country has left the EU making it even more difficult but by f*** I'm going to try. :-) Ride safe mate.
Do it, you'll find quite a few of your compatriots out here.
What a great ride today. Thanks for sharing it with us, Pedro. I am planting pins in the map of Portugal. Serra da Estrella is a must. Corona permitting I will discover it in spring. Just need a bike ;-)
Oh Yes, I am sorry about Brownie bailing out....
Oh yeah! But if the rona keeps you at bay tell them you're in transit through the countries to follow the madman who "took" your bike and you're on a mission to claim her back. I don't know Bob, it really looked like Atlas tossed Brownie out, don't know what's up with that.
@@iPedroMota What about setting up a search action ? Let’s call it “Finding Brownie” You give the approximate location where Brownie jumped off (or was tossed off ;-) and all riders that come in the area help looking for him (her). Besides I can use that noble endeavor to convince my wife to let me go to Portugal (again). Just a thought 💭
@@bobdemeyer6944 great idea, will be fun to rescue Brownie :)
And... gl with your wife and that excuse haha.
Cheers
Brownie's journey continues🐻
Can't wait to jump on my bike....and ride towards Portugal. Just 3000 km. No problem 😉
Best regards from Berlin and thanks for sharing your ride with us.
We have a Dolmen just up the road here in Catalonia. Same style as I saw in Ireland at New Grange and Loughcrew.
Awesome like always..👍 and Pedro, all the best in 2021 man. Cheers 🤘👍
Portugal really is access all areas and tourism without a handrail...love it, miss it.
I've done these exact roads, when I went in September. If you went a little further past the dam you could have gone to the peak of serra de estrela where the observatories are. There's rolling clouds there. Super cold too.
Nice. Yeah the sun beat me, I'll be there in the next since I just had to go to the peak.
Tremendous thanks from a lock down UK
Brownie!!!!!!!!Noooooo!!!!!!! Why !? Take me god not the brownie ! For real though it sucks . thank you for another great video Pedro
Pedro!
Hope you are ok and enjoying the summer of Portugal ❤️
As a fellow rider ( currently an Africa Twin CRF1100) I love your videos and Always click thumbs up even before I watch them, I would like to respectfully request that you please adjust your chin camera upwards so that it doesn't only show your dash, but also the horizon as you ride. Perhaps a spacer might be needed to bypass the tilt limits. Abracos Amigo!
Yeah that's happening once in the Algarve, got the piece needed for that recently sine the cam can't tilt further back. Did just that spacer thing in the next couple of vids to not much avail. I think the helmet tilts down more since I started riding again, maybe something to do with the inside sitting slightly looser. Abraco!
Happy New Year Pedro and thank you for showing us your country! Will you go visit the Nexx helmet factory!
Awesome landscapes, ride safe my friend ✌✌
Pedro and his blinker 😂. Sorry about Brownie. He’s off having his own adventures in the mountains now.
Brownie: 'aight imma head out'
@@iPedroMota 🤣🤣🤣
Beautiful ride, and landscapes. Stay safe.
Many congrats on your approach. Great diction and voice, plus sheer energy and enthusiams, great ridding skills. This is what traveling with a bike is all about. It would be interesting to see how you would overcome those narrow places with some of the present big adventure bikes... I am subscribing! Boas curvas!
Yes Pedro replace F&R tires like yesterday. Next to a new bike new tires make the most difference. Thank you for your videos.
Beautiful montain winding road villages Petro am luckybyou let us knows more of Portugal than we normally know.awesome love yr video keep.it coming bro
Well done Pedro, the map at the beginning REALLY helps, found your starting point in a couple minutes although it wasn't marked on Google Earth. Was able to pin point most places, and along with "street view" felt like I was there. Although I'm a hardcore geography buff, I've never paid any attention to Portugal, I'm TOTALLY amazed at her beauty and "charm". Atlas is making great background music. Sorry about Brownie, most "little guys" don't live very long but he certainly had a good short life, one can only hope...I still have a couple little teddy bears I got back in the early 1950's, you get attached some things. Cheers
One of Europe's best kept secret Mark
Wow.... looking great, I definitely have to plan a trip to that area 👌👍
fantastic addition to you video diary and the dead end situation too
while i sit happily in my shitty London office waiting to ride my baby cb500x home in our dark cold winter while most of London is shut but not for me
Happy travels PEDRO
Another great video. We really enjoyed your ride. Take care and keep up the good work.
Omgggg what a great episode! So lovely to see you ride same roads i did :) (not counting the awesome offroad haha ) Love it!! Rest in Peace Brownie! Maybe you will be found by a nice soul!
NOO BROWNIEEEee
A real homie that only wanted to ride even if he looked terrified half the time. When i'm back in that region I got to go and look for him.
Long Live Our one and only beloved Mota Brother . Love from The Republic of India 🇮🇳🙏
Belíssimo vídeo, lindo país.
Excellent! Obrigado.
Great vid mate...thanks for sharing👍
Amazing video. The last few minutes are truly epic. Be safe.
Ho hell yeah brother..
Welcome to my back yard and playground..
Serra da Estrela 🤘
Like you I lived in the Netherlands for the past 10 years and just returned to Portugal last year.
It would be an honor to meet you in person if you are still in Portugal.
Please let me know, I'll meet you where ever you are hehehehe
Cheers bro 🤘
Well well well, fancy to find you here! Eh eh, great video from Pedro and great roads to ride on. We need to explore those together as soon as I'm able to go to Portugal again. Abraço!!
24:58 hold up I'm in your video lmao (i'm the guy in the yellow jacket)
Obrigado Pedro! Parabéns pelos videos. Este fez-me subscrever o teu canal. Boas curvas!
Fantastic riding country, fantastic video...
I just added Portugal to my bike riding bathtub list! 👍😎
That is such a splendid road would love to ride it one day!! Take care.
Great video man! Congrats
Good share
I just came back from riding the same area - with a bit more off road (on a crf450l). It's amazing. I totally get what you say about it being better than some of the more famous routes.
Ur killing it Pedro!
Cheers Brad, all the best getting some 2021 riding in. At least you got one of your Central America mains, Mexico, open for easy riding business by the looks of it.
@@iPedroMota Yeah, MX is open. Normally I would be there for the winter, but my roommates moved out and i didn't want to leave my house empty for the duration while I was away....it will be there when im ready i guess.
This was a hell of a episode! Espectacular, grande Pedro! Portugal é lindo, estou há espera do dia em que possa fazer uma viagem assim pelo nosso pais! Obrigado pelos teus vídeos! Um abraço grande
I'm just waiting for you to launch your motorcycle adventure tour company, Pedro...! It will come, I feel it. I would take a tour with you for suure ;D
Count me in! :)
Noooooo, Browwnniiieeeee, abandoned, neglected, no seat belt - how could you!
Great video, like pre-rona vids!
Great ride. I'm from Oregon in the Pacific Northwest. We have lots of rugged rides here in the US but I enjoy your history lessons the most. It makes Portugal more real to me as I have heard of it but never experienced it. Thank You.
I had a K60 “ not that good on or off road “ just lasts ALONG time with the solid DANGER ⚠️ STRIP , fantastic views mate 👍
Impecável! Vê se voltas à serra....top... Ride safe ✌
Astonishing mate
Brownie probably thought ...hey this is a cool spot and got off the bike...
Sounds good, hope I an find him out there when I return to the region.
You never know. I lost my wallet once on the beach , followed my foot steps back to where they went into the surf and there was my wallet coming in on the next wave in the moon light. Talk about luck
You will have to find another traveling companion. Kids love watching your videos with your "animal" companion:) favorite part of video ... " and Spain would look at Portugal with those lustful eyes and say mmm looks good want a bite of that" absolutely hilarious!! Safe travels pedro!!
My go to travel tires are the kenda k270. Easy 12k km life. I tried a dunlop d605 this summer. The rear only lasted 6000km. The front though is a bit narrower than the k270, and is on the blocky side. It's still has at least another 6k left in it.
More aggressive tires are great, and I don't mind changing tires. But 3 to 4 rears a season gets expensive.
Your doing a fantastic job editing.
Hopefully Brownie doesn't get his stuffing pecked out.😭
🖖😆
How you like em in the rain? There's something about the K270 or the E07 pattern that I don't trust and it was because someone wiped out behind me on smooth wet bumpy old tarmac in Oz, I felt a wiggle but he actually fell (also clogged up easy with mud). Similar tire he had, though I don't know which one it was anymore, thought it was the E07 but that K270 could also be it. Got a seriously negative association since then with those close patterns. Need to find out because both tires are cheap and probably worth trying sometime. Cheers, 'twas a packed day.
The front k270 is washy in sand and mud. The back is ok in mud or snow, if you have good balance. Practice I guess.
But I've never had an issue with them in the wet.
All kinds of claimed failures as well on the forums...I've never had any issue
The sidewalls and face are built like dirt tires. They flare out then reverse into themselves. So I've had the klr touching pegs and didn't feel sketched. Similar speed and lean in this video. I could see someone forgetting that they aren't street tires and lean too much in wet conditions.
Absolutely love MotoZ but too much money now in Canada.
You should upload your videos at 60fps. With gopro footage whipping back and forth it makes it much easier to watch. cool video.
Que buenas rutas Pedro!!..Feliz 2021 pra voce!
Heavenly roads with some u turns when possible. Nice stuff Ride safe Ride free friend. In the U S we call them b roads. Just got my girl for some b road slaying,2020 v85tt ADV. Best Moto .Guzzi ever ,her name is Bella Rose.
Great area, and lovely roads.
Special the area arround "Pampilhosa da Serra"
And the roads you did near Manteigas e Sabugueiro, are now all covered with snow and most of them are closed, you were "just on time".
Pedro, if you want some .gpx tracks on that area, let me know, but you already can use the .gpx i sent you, it have tracks in that area.
Cheers
So I've heard. Still found some there a couple of days later, and then a day or two after that the real snow came. Maybe go see it all white later if it lasts which it might since it's even cold in the Algarve right now.
Since you now know where Brownie made his dash for freedom, maybe you could go back and look for him - if he wants to be found.
That's the plan when returning to the region
Sounds great hope you find him... so many more adventures ahead
I have just finished this whole journey earlyer today! Thank you for the idea, great content and wonderful riding roads. Wish you the best, ride safe!
acho que a unica coisa boa para ti nesta praga que está a ser o covid foi quase que seres "forçado" a vir fazer esta viagem a Portugal, em todos os videos que vi teus e foram muitos, parecia-me que não mostravas muito orgulho em seres Português, podia ser apenas a minha visão mas era o que eu sentia, mas agora que estás em Portugal vejo que estás feliz por estares aqui a fazer esta viagem e mostrares um bocadinho do nosso Portugal "gigante" que tantos têm orgulho de fazer parte dele. abraço e um grande 2021.
Nice, half uurtje had ik toch de tijd 👍🏻
Looking like a Portugal Motorcyle tourer ambassador :D
Pedro vai ver o TET portugal podes atravesar o pais de uma ponta a outra sempre por off road. Nao é preciso ser um pro eu sou um nabo e já fiz parte. abraço
Ja fui. Mas ouve um local que tive que dar a volta mesmo come novo pneu atras. Grande subida era. Mas vou voltar outra vez, foi top.
Rodrigo, alem do TeT, tambem ja lhe dei o .gpx do ACT ;)
A ver vamos se ele anda por ca tempo soficiente para os fazer :D
@@x_Paulo_Nogueira_x Boa!!! só vi agora!
Existe uma estrada que sobe de Linhares, e vai dar ao parque natural (terra batida) e depois, entra numa das melhores estradas que conheço para motas, que vai dar a Manteigas. ;)
I'm so glad you remember to cancel the turn signals-getting to be a habit. LOL.
😎 great ride and scenery,sure beats the rain right now in bc. 😎🏍💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦
I must go to Portugal on my motobike. 😃
Pedro, uma visita ao Piodão iria fazer um bom video.
Bom ano 2021.
Zona muito bonita, passavas a mostrar o cão da serra da estrela
Em manteigas
Video should have been longer 😁. Really enjoyable. 👍 I'm starting to count in your videos how many times you forget to turn your indicators (blinkers) off. 😃
11:22 that guy should have pointed you to Folgosinho!!!! But you wouldn't eat a "prego no pão" :D ;) . 24:59 you've just missed the best sandwich with "presunto" and "queijo serrano" that you can find, in those roadside stores... Ti Branquinho ;)
I figured, I would have stopped by those stores if it was earlier in the day, proxima vez!
@@iPedroMota by the way, just a curiosity, that last descent that takes you from Lagoa Comprida to Loriga Pass, in the Portuguese cycling (i'm also a cyclist) scene, that climb is called the Adamastor. I can see you know so much of the Portuguese history, so probably you understand why is called like that :D Nice to have you around. Hope you come back soon. Desejo-te uma boa e grande viagem
Olá Pedro! You forgot to film the endemic dog from Serra da Estrela.... Abraço! And I hope that next time you are in Lisbon I can have the chance to be with you....
Loved the video again, hope some day Brownie wil show up. Sterkte Pedro.
Nice ride! Wahoo! Have had 2 sets of Heidenau Scouts which are great for longer life on road and off but man is the front noisy on the road. GSA1200 but maybe quieter on a lighter bike.
I just ordered the front one too. Had a good start with the rear Heidie in spite of the middle strip (thought I was getting the same old pattern as on the first 130 I took to Mongolia, this one is 140 and has that continuous bar in the middle). Though it came short on a long steep climb with some rock steps, just slips away.
e para quando uma viagem até ao parque nacional da Peneda Gêres?? visitar as cascatas , a portela do homem, os espigueiros do Lindoso, a paisagem e estradas são brutais.
nice coverage bro hai from india
thannks for the videos and the history! cant ride right now, injured my hand, is winter in Canada :( ...whenever you're around Toronto one day, will be great to ride together...abraco amigo! from brazilian/canadian
I really enjoyed the small villages. Of course I would’ve gone much slower to soak in the surroundings. I wish your helmet camera was aimed up a bit more so as to see the surroundings better. Fun video nonetheless and I can tell you’re truly enjoying yourself. Ride safe and have fun. 🇺🇸
I have it on good authority that Brownie was picked up by a motorcyclist on C-90. I think his name is Ed Marsh?
If I Lost Brownie, lucky charm, i would go back for him.
can you mount your cam on top of your helmet ... like a tele tubby..... so we can see more of the scenery..
I did on my trip from Brisbane to Tasmania.. works well.. if you not worried about your appearance..
It's my dream to tour parts of Portugal on a motorcycle, some day. I've visited a few times, but the traffic in town scares the begissus out of the wife ! and she doesn't like this idea of mine.
Check the ACT PORTUGAL track near Serra da Estela its great views and adventure!
brownie...no!!!
Interesting l. ..with this model... you can do .....off road......and road....
what peace when phone lines don’t block the view or trobble the mind and where there arnt sidewalke people are happer👌
WHAT THE COVID SITUATION OUT THERE PEDRO
YOU GOOD ?
IT LOOKS SO NORMAL IM JELIOUS
Pedro, why don’t you do a trip with Itchy Boots - Noraly? She’s in Netherlands too!!!
Poor Brownie, all alone and possibly flattened (or worse) at the roadside, but still an inanimate object. For real though I am a little sad for your niece (? or I forget who the little girl is who gave you Brownie) having lost one of her friends
Ok 👍😼
Thanks for your nice video. How much km did Atlas on the clock when you took over the bike and how much do you have now on the clock if I may Ask? Would you consider to do a review on the bike?
Atlas had about 66K on the clock when Pedro picked it up. I guess it is around 69 now. Before the makeover, I hated the appearance. Metallic shades of purple and blue, grey plastic, Toyota Tercel instrument panel, rectangular headlight. Mechanically smooth and civilised, as we expect from Honda. You might think too urban and not rough enough for the unpaved adventure. However Pedro proves us wrong. Atlas is pretty stock. Ik wonder what modifications Pedro would suggest to make it a proper adventure machine. What I would improve is the stiffness of the frame and the front fork. But, if possible, that would also increase the weight. And fuel economy is bad on motorways. The rev counter seems to indicate the fuel consumption in liters per 100 Km :-) See more of the history of Atlas here th-cam.com/video/QV31MYyWi-o/w-d-xo.html
@@bobdemeyer6944 66 km then It is just broken in. My cbf 500 had 80 000 km on the clock when I crashed It. Nice of you to let Pedro borrow your bike. I have to admit that I thought that Pedro by now have added a whole lot more miles on the clock.
👍🙂🇦🇺
Tens de experimentar usar a insta360 one R para fazer videos de mota... como é uma câmara 360 consegues angulos expetaculares, alem disso a edição é super facil atraves da app....
Bons videos e boas curvas.
It looks to me that if you would tilt up the camera on your helmet a bit, we will get to see less of the gas tank and more of the surroundings ahead of you 😁
