This weekend is the Eid-al-Filtr, the end of the testing ramadan month. Its a very special holiday for Muslim people and everything is close, people are traveling or celebrating at home with their relatives.

So we had no choice to stay here and wait Monday. The Benelli is in the Kuba motor dealer garage, waiting for her examination on Monday in the order to estimate the damages.

Fortunately, Benelli has a strong importer/distributor in Turkey (Kuba motor, who helps us few days ago in their factory). Seems i will need their help again to ship all the broken spare parts from their factory to here. I just wish, we will be able to get it fixed A.S.A.P and be on the road again. We tried all the restaurants around our hotel but food is quite similar (Kebabs or Turkish pizza). Konya is a nice religious city but after 2 days we are getting bored.
