Few minutes after accident
Few minutes after accident

The sky was superb, the sun was shining, the temperature close to perfect. It was 7am this morning 20km before Konya when suddenly a dog crossed the road at the wrong time. I had no time to break or do anything else, the dog went straight into the back wheel which make the Benelli flying, flipping, sliding and stopping 60 meters later on the left side of the road. It was too quick to realize what`s is happening. 

I am doing fine, luckily only a small injury on the right arm. My Alpinastar motorbike gears saved me from a lot of pain actually. 

The rest of the day was between pounds, police and hospital paperwork.

Turkish police and hospital took good care of me and help us lot. I did not pay any fees at the hospital because it was a traffic accident.

Tonight we are in Konya city, trying to find solution for the motorbike which is not running anymore.
