My Grandfather Legacy
I ride for himBLAST FROM THE PAST – THE STORY OF MY GRANDFATHER
Augusto Macedo Pinto (1926 – 2006), used to ride a 1950 Triumph Tiger T100 in the Mozambican capital Lourenço Marques, now Maputo and also one of the responsables of the Motorcycle Club of Lourenço Marques. All the members used to gather on Alto Maé Avenue and do some bike races.
My grandfather was hawk-eyed teacher, source of inspiration always a guiding star in the good and toughest moments, giving me strenght, power and courage to continue.
This archive shows my rider legacy.
