Sofia Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 So today marked the day the Portuguese plate was fitted to the bike! By me, with the assistance of @Pedro that from a distance, via the phone, knew exactly where the 3 screws were and guided me along the task. How does he know these things is a mystery to me!! And because I did the job, no its is not straight!! No problem for me, I am very crooked myself, so we match! I have mixed feelings about this. It is not with easy for me the transition to Portugal and its paradoxes of social injustice, I am always in fear of what can happen here and for which I have no protection, like not being able to have full comprehensive insurance. Also my speeding habits will have to be kept under control a lot more!! Its also another tie cut with my previous life . I am happy to move on, very happy actually, I kept the best things from that time, the best people and the lessons, so a new road is being traveled and it has been, so far, a lot better then I could have ever imagined!! The new plate, philosophically, in its essence means : Accept and Let Go!! Goodbye Germany, hello Portugal!! It will start its life with a round trip of Portugal, and fingers crossed will not hit anything in sight, specially not @Pedro white elephant!!! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
