Teil1: Via Transalpina bis Edirne - Bis nach Randasien! aka Türkei - unsere große Motorradtour 2025

We want to leave the continent again on our two black motorcycles. This time we're heading southeast, to the fringes of ASIA! There's really only one fixed destination – the Dark Canyon high above the Euphrates River near Kemaliye. Everything else, as always on our motorcycle trips, will unfold as we go and can change daily. We'll be visiting less touristy places, searching for authentic Turkey beyond the mass tourism resorts and budget travel. But first, we have to get to Turkey. We'll show you how that almost went wrong in this, the first part of our little "Fringes of Asia" film series. We are TravelMonk on a Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro and AlinaReiseTante on a BMW F750 GS. Our travel dates: September 13th to October 17th, 2025 ---- We see subscriptions and likes as a small thank you for the effort we put into video editing. We'd love to reach 500 subscribers someday, so we can finally join the YouTube Creator Program and have more opportunities for our travel videos. YouTube subscriptions don't hurt – I swear! ;) We welcome comments, feedback, and discussions about Morocco, travel, and motorcycling. Enjoy the video!
