My new Turkish buddies…

Wow, what a trip this has been!  I’m leaving Ankara tomorrow morning.  I flew over here this week to teach a manufacturing management course to a Turkish armored vehicle manufacturer, and it was a lot of fun.  What was even more fun was meeting three Turkish RX3 riders tonight.   Folks, meet Enes (pronounced “Ennis”), Caner (pronounced “Jonnash”), and Burak (pronounced “Barack”)…

We had a great dinner.  We told motorcycle stories, my new friends told me what it’s like riding a motorcycle in Turkey (wow, would I ever love to do that someday), and we spoke at great length about just how awesome the RX3 is.  These three guys clock a cool 400 kilometers on their RX3s every Sunday and they love doing it.   They wanted to hear all about Mexico, Colombia, and China.   It was a great evening, and it was a wonderful way to wrap up a business trip.

I’m “wheels in the wells” early tomorrow and I’m eager to get home.   It’s time for me to rack up some miles on my RX3.  Or maybe I’ll get out on the TT250.   We’ll see.

Ride safe, my friends.
