The “Famel Foguete” was my first motorcycle. When I was 14 or 15 years old, after I begged insistently, my grandfather from my father’s side offered me his motorcycle, that dated back to 1965! The photo shows a similar motorcycle I found a few years back in Almada, Portugal. While the one in the photo is blueish, mine was completely black.
Its motor was an ILO. The first gear was up while the other two were down, contrary to the current standards.
Its biggest adventure was a trip from Lisbon to Algarve, driven by one of my uncles.
