When you see "+KDV" means you should add apprx. 18% Value Addition Tax on top.
When you see "KDV Dahil" means price include VAT.
But i think Google can translate all these...
If you get official receipts for all purchases, you can claim 18% tax back at the airport when leaving Turkey..
What an amazing country. Looking down from the plane, it felt like the perfect place for a biker to get lost. Twisty narrow roads on beautiful green mountains.
I'm a bit disappointed by the food though, or maybe it's because we were in heavily tourist laden areas.
Bike stuff ::
First I checked out http://www.feyizoglu.com/ .. nice shop, only one it's neighborhood. Prices were decent but they only had Nolan and LS2 helmets. Nolan is top notch but out of my price range. They had the latest models but LS2 weren't comfortable due to my extra large ears. The shop also stocked Revit jackets.
Then I went to the other place you recommended, http://www.motomaxonlineshop.com/ they had the best of the best gear, but nothing was in my price range, and everything they had was overkill for my needs. But that neighborhood was loaded with shops selling all sorts of gear. I ended up getting my stuff from http://www.motoplus.com.tr/ . They have the widest selection and prices were good too. They stocked Hein-Gericke jackets and pants, Venom and Bell helmets and
I got this helmet, Venom VF-307 http://i.imgur.com/KF9Pu.jpg
It's ECE certified but I can't track the manufacturer. It's feels much better than my GIVI helmet though, and the fabric doesn't irritate my skin. Fits my egg head perfectly with enough room for my elephant ears. I'll post a proper review and more photos in the flipup helmet section if I can find the manufacturer's site.
In all the shops, the staff were friendly and helpful, unlike most shops in China where they only want to sell you something. One day I'll ride up there and get all the gear I need.
