Rented
a
motorcycle
for
two
days,
booking
only
a
few
days
in
advanced.
They
only
had
one
available,
a
CB500X.
This
was
in
April,
so
prepare
to
have
few
options,
if
any,
during
the
high
season
unless
you
book
well
in
advanced.
Traffic
in
Porto
is
MISERABLE,
and
getting
two
and
from
the
location
on
the
river
is
an
absolute
nightmare.
Like,
hours
long
traffic
jams
to
go
a
mile
or
two.
Apparently
it’s
far
worse
in
the
summer.
Get
moving
early
before
traffic
gets
bad,
and
just
give
up
on
trying
to
return
the
bike
between
the
hours
of
4PM
and
7PM
(at
the
river
location)
unless
you're
willing
to
break
every
traffic
law
known
to
man.
Bike
was
mostly
fine.
It
was
really
dirty,
as
they
didn’t
bother
to
clean
it
before
I
got
it.
Not
the
most
comfy,
especially
2-up.
Frankly,
I
would
have
overlooked
just
about
all
of
this
if
they
hadn't
scammed
me
for
100
euro
on
a
small
scratch
on
the
storage
box.
I’m
sure
that
I
didn’t
even
cause
the
damage.
I
took
photos
of
the
bike
when
I
rented
it,
but
I
didn’t
even
think
to
include
the
storage
box
hanging
off
the
back,
so
the
photos
cut
off
right
where
the
scratch
was.
The
scratch
was
VERY
minor,
about
the
size
of
a
golf
ball
(see
pics),
and
would
have
easily
been
missed
by
me
and
the
rental
guy,
as
we
were
focused
on
the
bike
itself.
I
noticed
it
on
my
second
morning,
but
I
ended
up
having
pics
of
it
from
some
point
during
my
first
day.
I
mentioned
it
when
I
brought
the
bike
back
thinking
that
they’d
shrug
it
off.
I
doubt
they
would
have
even
noticed
had
I
not.
So
much
for
being
honest…
They
don’t
even
have
a
storage
box
on
the
damage
diagram,
only
a
diagram
of
the
motorcycle
itself,
so
there’s
not
even
a
place
to
mark
if
there
were
damage.
I
feel
like
they
just
used
it
as
an
excuse
to
charge
me
an
extra
from
the
card
they
had
on
file.
They
originally
threatened
to
charge
me
something
like
190,
but
I
had
pointed
out
that
a
brand
new
storage
box
would
be
way
less.
Note
that
the
storage
box
already
had
thousands
of
KM
of
use
on
it
and
small
scuffs
throughout
and
was
really
dirty.
Also
note
that
they
did
the
extra
expenditure
without
my
authorization.
I
would
feel
different
if
I
had
caused
the
damage,
and
especially
if
that
damage
were
on
the
bike
itself,
or
maybe
even
if
they
were
more
reasonable
with
the
costs,
which
I
would
have
considered
as
a
lesson
in
"making
sure
you
have
enough
photos
when
you
rent
something".
But
instead,
I
feel
like
I
fell
for
a
scam.
So
be
advised,
if
there
is
even
the
slightest
ding
on
a
part
that
isn’t
even
the
motorcycle,
they’re
gonna
try
and
get
you.
I
can’t
imagine
what
they
would
do
if
you
did
actual
damage.
Or
if
you
scratched
a
helmet
or
other
gear.
While
motorcycling
around
was
fun,
there
are
plenty
of
other
activities
that
won’t
involve
dealing
with
Porto’s
horrible
traffic
AND
run
you
the
risk
of
getting
scammed.
