  1. It's great to see you back on the road. Istanbul is a good starting point from where you can easily change continents, which makes sense for your Asia tour. The bad weather was unlucky.

  2. Hi Noraly , how's that clavicle going ? I had the same injury (still have the titanium and 9-screws ) miraculously , all those pieces knitted-back-together . Summer is apon-us down here (NZ) the bikes are nearly all-sorted for some adventures , have Fun out there . Dave

  3. Good luck on your new adventure! I also like that you started from Istanbul.
    I wish you would mention city or place names in the footage. For example, I really wonder where this place is at 13:14 or 14:25.
    Safe travels!

  4. It's great to be on the road again with you, thanks for sharing, love it. Still wandering how you go about editing your videos if you get stuck somewhere sometime and have time to explain to us, I would love if you explain how you go about saving your footage and editing it. Thank you a million.

  5. (A correction about the map) Well I need to make something clear for the westerns: modern western world (i mean the orientalists, i don't mean you dear) may want to recognise Turkey, which is officially Turkiye now, as the part of Middle East. Actually this part of the continent has always been called Near East and it is totally different!

  6. Reminds me of the heavy rains and skies we used to get in Greece during autumn/winter. How was the road surface? The wet roads were treacherous in Greece as they were often made with marble dust which is like an ice rink after rain showers.

  7. Avoid turkey pls. Let them embrace the reality. They charge you in € like they are EU. Non. TLE Turkish lira – worst nothing. Stop paying them top euros for nothing.
    Turkish government have to learn. They use to be cheapest country for tourists. Like Egypt, Tunisia, Vietnam. Now, somehow, some corrupt employe wondered that turkey part of EU and prices should be equally 🤣
    Don’t go to the turkey, do not pay them $ or €. Give them a lesson.

  8. If you visit a cafeteria in the Netherlands, like the one shown at the 10:05 mark, and ask if you can eat your own bagel or bread there, you’d likely hear a firm ‘no.’ This kind of openness and hospitality, where people generously accommodate others, is far more common in many Asian and Muslim cultures. Yet, ironically, there remains resistance to seeing these communities embraced in parts of Western Europe.

  9. 6:45 Electronic Detection System (To prevent the violation of emergency line but the police turn a blind eye for the motorcycle use since it's a crowded city). You will get a ticket for that if you were driving a car. Blessings from Istanbul🎉 Two wheels down. Ride safe and enjoy the journey.

  10. I love the sound of Frankie and that the bell is still there (found another place on the right side) that's a real true ride gimmick of Moritz 🙂 and Frankie being kicked and starting at the first kick so easily… so nice.
