Greetings from Türkiye

Hi Y’all.This is my first ride report here.Hope you’ll like it.
Today was just like a typical spring day for riding. Temp showed some 17-19 degrees and I rode about 230 km.
On the way, I braked suddenly for this cave.Then, I made my way to dirt as usual.I can't stop myself.

It was a long tunnel rather than a cave.

I was eager enough to discover more and more to meet up some bears on the way but my friend stopped me.

All roads lead to dirt and mud.

An artificial pond

My friend,riding a cruiser, offered to return as it was hard for him to go further and we made our ways back.

Before we started the trip,we had no idea where to gn the way I radioed him to visit Durusu Park Hotel for a Turkish coffee.
Many horse farms.

There we arrived.

People had mansions built for their joy and fun but no one lives there.
Looks and sounds like a deserted place.

I stopped taking pics of houses as guards were patrolling around me.
A nice spot to drink and refresh.

Black Sea

Those seagulls are so lazy

We left the coast and headed South to central Thrace.
This is one of the biggest lakes in Marmara and named as Terkos or Durusu.

It was shining allright,warming us and I turned the heaters off.

Highlands.Water ways everywhere.There was still some snow.

Just off subject now. Dave 56..... dont you wish that you had hired a bike in Turkey the other year? Dont forget, you dont need insurance over there, as we were told, "Allah will protect you"
