Speed limit changes.

In January 2011 the speed limits changes for larger bikes in Turkey. Cannot find out where the break comes but all bikes that are classified as L3 Motorcycles are now allowed to go at 80kmh on single lane roads + 10% and then 90kmh on dual carriageways, ones with a dividing barrier and then 100kmh on 'Autobahns' as the police call them. I have been pulled over 3 times because of radar traps but when they see the bike they let me go, although obviously disappointed. The local police chief was not aware of the changes so a fax was requested from Antalya Police. I keep that fax with the printed speed limits on it with my bike papers just in case.The extra 10kmh may not sound a lot but, boy does it make a difference to the stresses of riding as the bike is more comfortable at that speed.

Unfortunately, I don't think I will be able to ride across your area because I will keep the direction Istanbul - Ankara - Erzurum (I will be bound to Iran then Samarkand and back to Italy thru Russia and Ukraine), but with pleasure I'll store your datas in my computer for a future visit, perhaps for next year's ride to Lebanon.

Thanks again, cheers,
Nick

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.
