I live in the UK.
I am 25.
I am starting lessons for a motorcycle licence in a few months.
My parents go on holiday to Portugal quite often (sometimes I go with them) and it gets BORING when I can only go where they go when we are there.
So I just want to know:
How old do I have to be to drive a motorcycle abroad with a motorcycle UK licence?
How much experience (e.g weeks, months or years) do I have to have first?

" ... A driving licence issued in an EU or EEA member state is valid in Portugal. It may be exchanged for a Portuguese licence, but this is not obligatory. ... " Exchanging a Driving Licence from the EU or EEA | Portugal

Thus, it appears, if you have a license to operate a motorcycle in the U.K. that would be all that is required to operate the motorcycle in Portugal.
