24th September Sivas, Turkey to Erzurum Turkey

Weather again very hospitable. Roads great. Very beautifull scenery for the entire day.

I'm sorry officer there must be some sort of mistake?
Look son the Radar doesn't lie!
But your roads are very straight and lovely!
Will sorry help?
What a lovely car you have. I really like your shades! where did you get them?

Its a fair cop.

 

Speeding ticket, 109 Kph, No idea what the limit was, lucky I managed to slow down a little beforehand! 154 Turkish Lire fine (about £50) to be paid at a bank.... ;-)   If i'm lucky I will pass the border without issue!

 

Turkish cops. Good natured enough to be willing to have their photo taken.

I have found a city centre hotel. This ones actully nice... Hotel Esadas.  Again I am parked on the pavement a metre from the main doors.

The hotel is on the main street through Erzurum. A queue of people line up to check out the bike.
Tomorrow I visit Iran. There is a Burger King opposite the hotel. Makes a change from a Doner.

I've had a turkish haircut (yes I can hear howls of hysteria....) lets say head shave. I am ready for another country.
