The helmet is one thing but the main thing for me was the lack of jacket and gloves.
Whilst the tarmac may be nice and warm, it is also very differrnt to the tarmac we get here. It is almost slippery because of the mix it has to not melt in the heat. Far too easy to slide off on a bend especially with the pot holes they have.
Turkish drivers are not particularly good either. It is not uncommon to see a bus overtaking an overladern car and being overtaken by a car all on the same hairpin bend causing oncoming traffic to have to stop. imagine that when you are leant over preparing to go round the bend!!!!
