FOUR WHEELS

     The favourite mode of locomotion of my brother wasn’t the car, though he was able to drive everything with four wheels since he was 12. His passion were the motorbikes, he had three motorbikes and spent most of his free time riding one of them to everywhere where he could go, almost always with his wife. Never saw a most inseparable couple. He had some accidents, one especially serious, in Serra do Gerês (one of the paradises on earth in the North of Portugal). The mountain roads are narrow and some people drive as if they were the only ones on the road. A car hit them and they were projected many meters in the air. My brother landed close to a rock and some bushes, he was able to grab, about 30 meters above a precipice, but the only thing he got were some bruises and contusions. His wife had much more bad luck; she got an exposed fracture in one leg. There, in the middle of nowhere, they had to wait for more than one hour for an ambulance. They took her to Braga and then to Porto.

      I thought that they would never ride a motorbike again. But I was completely wrong. Less than a year after that accident, my brother was riding the motorbike again, and two years after, his wife began to accompany him again. He always went to the Annual International Motards Meeting at Faro, Algarve, Portugal. And he used to take plenty of photographs. I’ve seen hundreds, but now I can’t find any. But I found a collection of photos of the XIX Annual Classic Rally Madeira, 2006. Some of those photos are below. I can’t put here some of the best because my sister in law appears everywhere (in these photos and in thousands of others). To cut them or use some kind of Photoshop would be a kind of destruction. I prefer to post only some of the others, where only appear the cars or anonymous people.
