I live in İstanbul, Türkiye. My work is insurance agency and I am making insurance especially for motorcycle and health insurance of riders. Motorcycle and sailing are my two loves. I have been a trainer in two motorcycle associations and have led one of them for three years.
I have been riding motorcycles for over 30 years, but owned my first bike Bmw F650 1995. Then R1150 GS 2000, R1200 GS 2006 and now I have R 1150 Adv. 2003 and R1200 HP2 Enduro. HP 2 is my favorite bike.
Motorcycle is not only a vehicle that can transfer to you somewhere. It's a type of living. A lifestyle. I love to travel long trips all over the world. To travel with a bike is like being the star of a wonderfully unique and personal movie...
A motorcycle is absolute freedom. I believe that for this freedom, your bike has to be able to go on all roads... Even if there are no roads where you want to go.
I have been riding all over Türkiye and Georgia, all the Balkan countries and the previously Yugoslavian lands. All round of Europe. I also have been riding in Egypt and South Africa. Am planning to go to Mongolia. And I have a plan to ride to south America with my partner. She is an American citizenship and we are dreaming to ride there.
My favorite place to ride is Georgia and Egypt. Georgia is a country of mountains and rivers. Also to ride in the Deserts of Egypt is a fantastic memory of my riding experience. I also ride in the mountains of Turkey especially in the southern region of Turkey, the massive Toros mountains. I recommend all of the riders of world to ride in this geography.
My first Aerostich was the Roadcrafter two part since 2002 and I bought is second hand from a friend. It's still perfect and I feel fully protect against dangers and the elements.
