MADRUN 2009
When we started the OMM-MADRUN ten years ago, it was a muddy – small group of 4 bikers on a little village of Tracian Black Sea. It was so cold that we decided that it was not such a good idea and definitely not one to be repeated

Still we continued with small group (in 2002 Bulent Boytorun led the survivors in a snow storm in Sile) and this year in 2009 more than 200 bikes got together in Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir

If it is true that what you do on the first day, you do it all year around, 2009 will be definitely a great experience. Happy new rides

OMM 10th Anniversary Meeting
Annual Rally of OMM Riders Group in Ayvalik on 29 and 30 November 2008.
Once a year OMM riders get together with friends to examine the activities of the past and to collect ideas for the program ahead. This year we rode to Ayvalik and we spent one and half day preparing for the 2009. New plans for further improving ARA educational program, new rides and new tools to be created for Turkish biking community: we hope that the work done in Ayvalik Rally will move the OMM services ahead. Take a look at the new 2009 Calendar and check often on this site for additional news. Some of the Photos of the Event are now HERE..
