I am from Ankara, Turkiye. 34 year's old and riding for 4 years. My first bike was a 91 Honda = NX250 and riding a 96 TDM850 since March 97. Except for about 2 months a year, I commute everyday and go outside of Ankara for touring with my = girlfriend on weekends if we do not go for mountaineering. We roll on two whells for = long streches in our holidays, too. Actually I decided to sell my TDM. The normal motorways between big provinces are already not of good quality and other sideways are worse = than those. And moreover I like to take the roads of mountain villages or = the dirt roads of archeological ruins on my tours and I would also like to = take the tractor roads through the fields from one province to another. In = the near future I am planning to ride to Georgia, Kaukas=FDus region ( to = the villages from where my grand-grandfather came from), to Iran,Pakistan = untill Nepal and also to Turkmenistan, Usbekistan and to Kazakhstan. And later maybe towards north Africa. TDM is absolutely not for this kind of = riding as I expected before I bought it. It was a great mistake. It is very much stressing to ride the bike on such roads if possible at all. (If Yamaha people has seen on what kind of roads I tried to ride my TDM, they = would be crazy, I think.) Now I am about to switch to Africa Twin. The only disadvange of Africa, = I think, is its power. But I can not imagine how it tastes? Can I live = with it when two up and loaded on long tours and on every kind of roads? = Creates an AT any big problems which I can not manage by myself when I am far away = from home? Who can say a few words on AT for me? Honda has introduced Varadero this year. But I think it is also mostly = for asphalt touring like my TDM. By the way, if anyone likes to come to Turkey and his/her way passes = through Ankara, he/she welcomes. You can stay by me (I have enough place in my = house and a garage for your repair works) as long as he/she likes. My = girlfriend will also be glad to meet you. Bye. AzOz p.s. sorry for my English if I made any mistakes or used wrong words. ------_=_NextPart_001_01BE3D35.56EFB0A4 Content-Type: text/html; charset="WINDOWS-1254" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printableintroducing myself Hi,
