i`ve jut came back from the trip. the weather was awfull almost all the time, but the MotoGP in Istanbul was great
the Bulgarian roads are average, if you don`t go on the highway you`ll drive trought small villages and try to avoid small or big holes that are on the road. on the highway maybe 2 police patroles with radars but didn`t cought me, just on the way back, because we were going trought small villgaes, and we gave him 10 Levas(official monet in Bulgaria) and everything was ok.
In Turkey my 2 friends were driving 10km/h more than was allowed and they had to pay 100euros each to leave the country. Be very carefull in Turkey, they don`t forgive and even less the accept money in exchange for forgivness.
Take care and have a good trip

Dammit, that aren't good at all news.
I was hoping that they still tolerate the same speed for cars and motorcycles as it was suggested by some sites and travel guides.

@Samy, could you explain this short-cut to Sultanahmet, as I will be tired from the trip Sofia-Istanbul in one day?
On topic: in 2004 I was caught speeding 4 times in one day in Bulgaria, first 2 times I paid, last 2 times I had no more money left, so after a chat I just drove on.

In Istanbul use the "Sinbad Hostel". Cheap, and you can sit on the roof and look at the ships in the Bosphorus. Its a backpakers place and I like it. It is within 600 metres of Sultanahmet. Usually a hustler will speak to you if you simply stop and look at the Blue Mosque. If they dont come, just ask.
You can chain your bike outside but the night desk is so close there willl be no problems. If you go there, let me know if you liked it. Also Internet on the roof.
PS why are you rushing this trip? Take your time.....
Also, can I meet Cindy while you are gone? She looks really nice....
Good roads
Denis

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
