QUICK TALK! # 31 PAULO PINTO

July 03, 2009 @ 10:46 PM - Paulo's Portugese

Paulo “Viseu” and Nunão (Quick Talk! 27) are two great friends from up in the North of Portugal. Viseu is their hometown. Paulo Pinto and I, we have the same first name so when we ride together I call him “Viseu” and he call me “Almada” (the place where I used to live/ride/study before I went to Viseu for working). I’ve know him since mid 90’s, in 1998 he became one of my riding buddies during the 3 years that I’ve lived and worked in Viseu. I have great memories from that days. We had great days and nights riding and others just chilling or partying. He is a great person and a great friend. “Viseu” thanks for all the good moments in the city, and cheers for the few more to come, “Almada”.
