hah.....I was planning a trip to turkey but eventually postponed it because I thought it would be too much trouble in mid summer and 40 C...... at 50-60C I wouldn't worry so much about the bike as of personal health. I overheated once in strong sun and I don't recommend it. I don't like to say...

How do you protect a laptop from rain etc? I brought a Macbook Air 11" and on two occasions it stopped working because of rainy weather. Apparantly it's very sensitive for humidity levels. The battery shortcircuited and then it took three weeks before it dried up and functioned as normal again...

When in Rome, drive like the romans.....

if you would lose the ordinary keys, can you use the red one until you fix a new one? I know you shouldn't, but it's good to know if it works to start and be able to drive the bike.

I think that's illegal to modify a helmet because of insurance issues.
