We left Konya around 2pm, later than planned. Tonight, we want to be in Istanbul. We lost too many days in Konya...
700km on the GPS...It will be the test ride for the Benelli to see if everything is going well.
60Km after Konya, Nicolas realized the left front folk of the Kawasaki is leaking...His front suspension is very very soft...
We stopped at a petrol station and saw a Suzuki Hayabusa. The owner is a cool turkish rider who will bring us to Ankara (Turkey Capital) to check the Kawasaki suspension.
So we ride all together until Ankara. The highway was fast ! I realized, how uncomfortable is it to ride without wind screen (broken since the accident). Above 120km/h it is getting difficult...
Unfortunately, the garage in Ankara was not able to fix the Kawasaki problem, so we hit the highway again toward Istanbul.
400Km to go...The night ride started and we kinda like it...The traffic was crazy and fast but it keep us awake slaloming between cars.
We reached the beautiful Istanbul by 2am.
The hotel Nicolas booked online was closed :(
The hostel chase started and we found our happiness. Happiness has a price. 65Euro/night, welcome back to Europe. We used to 5 or max 10Euro per night.
The high season started and hotels are fully booked. No choice.
