2nd decision: “Before my ass even touches the seat, my
equipment shall be complete.”
It takes me almost no time to find myself next to my buddy Anil. At the time, he’s working at a local
motorcycle accessories dealer in Istanbul. His eyes sparkle with joy as he introduces
me to the gear, all the while telling motorcycle stories from his prior trips. I can easily relate to his joy. I return back
to Ankara with the delight of having taken my first discernible step towards my
long goal. I still have a lot missing though; no license, no motorcycle yet. For
the next 3 months I walk around my house with my new helmet on, itching for my
first ride…
