Razistan

It was 5:45am on May 1st when I first set off from Beşiktaş with Carra fully loaded for a week long test ride. Later that day the city was in lock down with the police pepper spraying and water canoning  anyone who attempted to join a May day protest. But when I left the sun was just waking up, the streets were deserted and Piotr had got up early with me to film the departure (probably in the hope of a €250 – ‘You’ve Been Framed’  moment!)
