Bikes in Turkey

[katana]

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

A Jawa chop

Genuine Bedouin saddlebags

Soviet block combination

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

Anybody else got bike related holiday snaps?

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

Comically overloaded Moped in Malaga, Spain

You and the Mrs up for the Cleobury run? (See meeting section)

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