BUT the basic rules of polite and civil conduct which everyone agreed to when signing up for the HUBB, will still apply, though moderation will be a LITTLE looser than elsewhere on the HUBB.

Important explanation to friends..

Hello (Merhaba),

Mehmet Zeki Avar (58) is my real name,
have only 1 facebook page
https://www.facebook.com/mehmet.avar.12?ref=tn_tnmn
and
İstanbul Bisiklet Motosiklet
(Means İstanbul bicycle and motocycle,not a company or a club)
is my user name since the first day ı am here and with great pleasure have best friendships with Dear Grant (hope will be here for 100.th Anzac day) and all bikers who have been here from different parts of the world...
Announced this matter 4 times on my facebook page....

Unfortunately some guys are trying to capture my accounts, use my name or user name
to develop a business with fake names and Email or facebook accounts after I stopped recommending them when they started charging bikers for money...Since last 2 months, sent all inf. about this subject to dear Grant by mail..

That is normal that there are some clubs with the names of Turkish cities and I have no relations with any of them officially..(Life experience,always better to be a free general-TURKISH SAYING)
But pleasure to say I have best friends in all clubs not only in Turkey but also in Iran,Pakistan,India,Nepal,China, S.Korea, Australia,New Zealand,U.A.E.,some Middle East,African,European,American, countries, who share the same soul and always contact them whenever a foreign biker is in need of inf.and help for those places and pay much attention to mention the names of biker friendly guys on my messages and ask your permission even its for a photo or information...Always thanksful to them.

For e.g.
This summer many foreign bikers were here and they shared nice time during Sakarya Festival week,Bursa Enduro week,Balıkesir festival week etc.organised and hosted by different clubs or groups...I do this so that they can discover more colors of my country and volunteer for the tourism here like me...

For me friendship is most important..
Please forward me not only your thank you messages but also bad stories so that I can inform government departments and officers..Whenever you are asked for money here,without any official invoice or receipt and illegaly,apply the local police,tax office or send me a message for a better world for us...

All questions for entering Turkey,riding in Turkey,recommended places and routes,people,customs purposes are always welcome..Current and correct inf.will be forwarded asap.

Wish you all happy,safe,healthy and lucky trips...
Mehmet Zeki Avar

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
