-when filling up along the roads, are there better quality / reliable stations, or ones that should be avoided if possible?
> All the gas coming from same source. None of them different. he can choose what is best for the bike RON 95, 98, ....
-what’s the situation with toll roads? I tried working out the explanations given on this forum about the pre-purchased cards, but there’s nothing too recent on the subject. Can one just pay with a credit card at the toll gates? Or coins/notes are the only way, or that pre-paid card? Sounds a bit confusing.
> He need to buy a HGS card for the bike before entering to TOLL. Easy to buy. No need to worry about. Aprox. 20 TL (8 $) will be enough to cover until Georgian border.

-on the way back from Georgia westwards he will most likely have to get new road tyres. Pirelli Angel GT, 190/55ZR17 MC (75W) is what he’s using at the moment. Is there a recommended shop/chain of shops along the route where you can rock up, buy the tyres and get the changing job done without much waiting?
> I use Bora's service. Happy so far. Pls contact him on bora@eris.com.tr He can be able speak English.
-along the way to the east, what would you recommend - camping or hotels with secured parking? Why? Is camping wild with a tent a good idea at all?
> Camping is OK and safe. No worries. If he would prefer to rest in a hotel it is not so expensive. I recommend to have rest especially in Black sea coast. Also food is tasty.
-any other practical advise for him - what to look out for, how to choose roads, safety etc?
> If you tell more about the route, time, prefer tolls or backroads etc. I can be able to give better advice...
