secure parking in that lane
Very sorry to hear they pinched your SuperTen, Mika. Not so surprised by the police's reaction. I too would have guessed it will end up in Lebanon. Never saw big local bikes except police. Zillions of CGs.
We were in that lane a few days ago staying at the Haramein a few doors down. I noticed some overland bikers (Turkish and Swiss) parking their big BMs right outside which seemed bit risky to me, despite Syria's good reputation.
Not much use to you but for others heading for this handy quarter in Damascus, the Haramein had a secure courtyard round the back where you can park a moto out of sight. There was an Ozzie KLR in there.
Haramein is 300sp cheaper than Al Rabie and a nice joint.
Didnt some guy get his AT pinched down this way a few years back - and after a splash Honda stepped in with a new one? Would be great if Yam came in with the new Super Ten... You never know.
Otherwise, hope it turns up and you can carry on RTW.
