Mount Shasta now, Istanbul soon
 

I currently live in Northern California with great riding roads all around. Unfortunately, the season is ending and I'm looking at a long, cold winter. The bright side is that in June I'll be retiring and my Turkish wife and I will be relocating to Istanbul. I look forward to our new life there and hope to be able to continue riding. I dream of touring and seeing all the wonderful sites in Turkey and the surrounding countries. My biggest concern is finding another bike in Istanbul. I hear they are quit expensive and hard to find. Any information in this regard would help. I look forward to spending time on the Hubb and getting to know some of you. Also, let me know if you travel near here, I'll do all I can to help.

Merhaba Greg,
Welcome to HUbier
Bikes are % 30-40 more expensive in Turkey. But you have the right to import one for your personal use without any taxes..Lets keep in touch..

Will be glad to see you among us as a new member after June-2012.

If you will continue your business life, ok istanbul is the best..Otherwise I higly recommend you South West Anatolian towns by meditarrenean coastline. :palm::Beach:

Anymore questions about biking in Turkey, daily life, formalities, etc. are always welcome..you are an enişte now!!!



Wish you all the best and selamlar
