    I just got back today from 2 weeks holiday in Turkey and being a sad git I took a load of pictures of bikes.

    Most of the bikes I saw out there were modern Chinese scooters with dubious homemade “performance” mods like this one.

    I saw one Fireblade 2007 and a modern(ish) BMW but didn’t have the camera handy.

    If you are into old Jawa 2 strokes or eastern block bikes there are still loads of them about along with an ancient Mobylette or two.

    Here are my favourites

    A couple of well weathered Jawas

    Genuine Bedouin saddlebags

    Trike for rent – advertised as Harley Davidison?

    Think this is a MZ copy – why you would want to copy an MZ?

    Couple of Mobylettes – again interesting use of carpet

    Welcome back from your hols Kat!

    Great pictures and good idea for a thread. I really liked the Jawa Chop, the Bedouin saddle bags and the MZ copy! Can’t beleive you didn’t hire the ‘Harley’ trike for a blast!

    The only bike funny pic pikes I have from abroad is this one

    The locals might not have much money but it looks like they are still enjoying themselves. Love the exhaust on the first one!
