Default Another rider from Izmir

Hi everyone.I talked to franco about this forum than he joined immediately.Than i figured after all these months of reading i havent joined yet.So now im registered too.I have a yellow sportster 883 slightly customised and ordered a screamin fatboy.The new bike will be here around march.Izmir city almost lets us ride year around.It is almost always sunny and warm enough except january-march period.There are about 50 harleys that we know of as yet.There are few american riders in our chapter but harley tradition started here by american military men wich have been stationed here in different bases since early 50s.But after the cold war they moved the personnel to other places so we dont have as many american families around as they used to be.The area it self is very nice to ride with a lot of curvy mountain roads going along with the beaches.Theres a small pub that we frequent here that plays good old southern rock.I will be posting pics as son as we start riding again.
