Anually we organise a one night camp at the first or second week of January. Our aim is the spend the night at extreme cold weather and eat like animals and drink like idiots :yahoo: Our camping area is located at the northwest of the country around a lake called Poyrazlar. I hope you enjoy my first ride report.
Not to much to ride ,only 170 km away from Istanbul. Most of it on the boring highway.
]
Our first gathering point , the weather is heavy rainy and we are feeding ourselves and bikes.
Trying to make my helmet rainfree with some solutions before riding
Leaving the gathering point with 5 bikes and 2 cars
Pics taken from cars of our friends during the ride,
Me waiting with low speed around 90km/h for the other bikes (1 Honda Varadero, 1 Aprilla Capanord, 1 Yamaha Fazer 600 and 1 Yamaha MT-1)
Getting angry with my friend when he shows me his hot leg from his car
As said before I hate highway riding , boring ,boring :angry:
weather is still same ;
Getting closer to our camp area,
yess we finally see the sun :yahoo: but it is getting much colder now. This means snow is coming :yahoo:
The butcher in the village is very happy to see us, after us I guess he closed his shop and went for spending the money
Cars are only good for carrying stuff
Lake is towards us now and the weather looks fine for now. That was something we wished for cos we can make our fire and tents more easly.
As you will see on the right hand side of this pic. there is a closed place and somehowe one of our friend was able to get the keys to the door and the guards let us spend the night at that place. We all placed our tents around this place and created ourselves a wetfree and windfree area. Cos at that area the temp will be -10 Celcius in acouple of hours.
and the snow shows itself finally ..As just we had planned and dreamed of
Our fire lasted for at least 12 hrs...
My Fjr is safe
I think this is the worst FJR pic ever on the forum
After a freezing night at -10 Celcius degree , like 7 am we woke up and run next to the fire again.
We are luck to see the sun shining back again, now we wait for the ice to melt on the surface...During the time we feed ourselves again and again . No drinking for sure only Alca Seltzer is allowed
Feeding other animals around,
Some shooting exercises to empty beer cans
And the surface is good now for riding back home..We all enjoyed our camp this year and I hope you enjoyed reading the report. Thank you...
