As someone who thrives on adrenaline, the idea of tearing through the wild forests of the Asian side of Istanbul on a dirt bike was irresistible. My fiancée and I packed our gear and headed to Reşadiye, ready to embrace the thrill.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by our guide, a professional motocross racer whose enthusiasm was infectious. He provided us with top-notch KTM and Beta motorcycles, ensuring we were equipped with the best for our adventure. After a quick safety briefing and mini-coaching session, we were off, engines roaring and hearts pounding.
