Attention at the entrance of Izmir
Please pay special attention at the road entering Izmir from Balikesir, there is a huge petrol pool in the lane leading you from the mountain twisties into the city which is not detectable with the eye...I was lucky enough to make a stop for a cigarete and when I started my ride again I was landed with my GSA 1200 without even knowing why (when I got up...I managed to understand only by nearly falling off again, since the petrol is not visible due to the tarmac color).
I notified 2 cops who where parked a few meters away from the scene...but either they did not seem to understand or they didn't want to take any actions...I got away with only 2 scratches on my right pannier...but if someone is entering with even 50 Km's it would lead to a nasty condition!
Since none took care about it, I though mentioning it in case anyone is travelling towards that direction (since I doubt the petrol will be gone for a few days).
