Does anyone know where there is a motor scooter dealers near CVO? I'm looking to buy a scooter next week when we come out for a few days.
Cheers

You could ask at the scooter hire place at the top of the out road. If you have holiday insurance, check the exclusions. Our has a 125cc limit. .

Don't forget to get a black, hand-painted, 50s style helmet, put a large wooden box on the back and then ride up and down the hard-shoulder on the N-125 :)

You will find one in Estombar. Leave Lagoa on the 125 heading towards Portimao - at the exit s/p Porto (after the Silves exit) follow it around back over the 125..

Follow the road as if you're heading for the Old Bridge. Go over the first lights - straight on at the next roundabout and at the next lights turn right. Go to the end of that road and follow it round as it bears to the right - after about 100 metres you will see the scooter shop on the left (next to a large lighting shop).

Hope that helps? :D

We have just got back from BLIP and I realised there are two roundabouts now - so take the instructions from after the second roundabout - sorry :)

I thought you were riding a Yamaha until the end of the season? :)

I saw those in Modelo when it was still Modelo. Did you have to pay to register it etc.?

They looked ok. Chinese obviously, but providing they are well serviced. Parts might be a problem.
