    ........................Dirk told the shepherd's kids a little tale about his HP2 starter motor. They didn't like fairy stories with an unhappy ending.:eek1

    Nor did the other shepherd down the road

    I grew up in Cyprus In Kyrenya, we were there 50 - 52 and 54-57 loved it I'de love to go back and see what the difference would be, I was 9 the first time and 13 the second time an ideal place to grow up food was great and loved to watch the lambs with there big tails. Brings back memories good ones. On clear days we could see the Turkish coast.

    WTF!!! Why are you making my cousins cry :huh? Tell Dirk to sort his starter motor out, or the next time he tells fairy tales about his starter motor he'll have to answer to me :ddog


    That kiddy does actually look like me. If he turns out to be half as handsome as I am, he'll be a lucky boy :evil


    Thanks :clap and keep :ricky

    I lived in Suadiye district of Istanbul in 1998... I really loved Turkey and after seeing your pictures I think that maybe I should come back and live there again! I'm bored with the US and I've only been back a few months (lived in China 2003-May 2009) Have some tasty kebabs for me! :clap

    I remember Dirk had to use DHL services last year.....and it was a Alptraum...
    could it be worth to call the guys and ask where it is and go for a ride to fetch it ?

    I was riding from Kaş to Ankara last Sunday. I am almost certain that I ran into this couple in Antalya. It was a quick "where are you heading" sort of encounter at a traffic light in Antlaya. I believe they said they were on their way to Konya that day. Could this be them?

    Could be Strommer. They were heading to Cappadocia via Konya and then first right at the next roundabout and into Nepal riding a 650 V Strom.

    You should have dropped in for breakfast:D .

    Cheers,
