    Hello guys! Came across this forum and it already feels like my 2nd home!

    My name is Ricardo, and I'm from Porto (north Portugal).
    So, a lot of my family and friends ride motorcycles since youngsters, and it was no different to me!

    I've had a 10 years experience with scooters and 125cc, and after I realized that I needed more power, the biggest question was what ride to buy? Triumph was always my main choice, but the values were a little bit off (the option would be the Speed Twin!)

    Then I came across an excellent deal for a Thruxton R, from some lawyer that had it for 1 year and realized that his love was for Maxi Trails xD

    So it happens that I was in a good position to keep it, and since then I am completely addicted to it.
    I remember everytime I went to the dealeship and saw it, I feel in love for a 2nd, and third time, not mencioning the one at first sight (the souuuuuuund)!

    It's trully a wonderfull piece of art & machinery.
    Cheers!!!
