Keep it going...the harder part

Consistency is something I find I am struggling with in my life. I enjoy variety and change. The challenge that keeps me going and doing the stuff I do.

It has been 3 years now living my dream to live around two wheel lifestyle. I love every aspect of it, my bike, the ride, my club brothers, the places I explored and the friends I made from all over the world.

But lately I feel I am a bit lazy to call for a ride or participate in one. Probably because of the weather or the change of schedule from living alone for 4 years and now I am living with my family again. Whatever it is I am quite impressed with a friend a mine who is married with 2 wives and many kids but still can find time to ride every week.

I love riding and spending time with my riding friends. I hope I will be able to keep the passion going until my last breath.

Winter Picnic 2014

The club decided to hold a picnic with families and friends whilst the weather is still cold. It was a nice Friday morning picnic. Although I could not ride to the picnic site but watching the excitement in my children's and wife's faces was enough therapy for me. It was just a right thing to do....

It is Picnic Season !

2014 is here...what's next?

Happy New Year 2014 to you reader of this blog if you happen to bump into this old neglected blog. The year 2013 passed by so quickly but a lot of important things have happpened in my life. I am particularly very pleased with the achievements and directions of my motorcycle club in UAE. It has not been an easy journey but we made it through by mutual respect and strong brotherhood amongst my club brothers. Unforgettable experience. Here are some riding pictures to start our new year...

We are Born To Rise

When everything in my life just start to go by as usual, a music video like this definitely light up the rage and the beast inside me to do what I like to do and stay true to my course. This music video features almost all my instagram friends who live in California. They are the chosen one when it comes to riding on one wheel of a Harley Dyna ! Radical !!

The Origin of 1% er Biker Subculture

If you ride long enough on Harley Davidson or you are passionate about Harley biking culture and style, you will definitely come across the terms MC, 1% er and the big four motorcycle clubs - Hells Angels, Outlaws, Mongols, Bandidos, Pagans and so on...

I love history and whenever I am interested on certain subject I will also read its history. It is easier to read and get information nowadays through the internet without going to a library.

Whilst surfing the net today I stumbled upon this website of Life Magazine which publishes for the first time real pictures of a group of Hells Angels bikers in 1965. These pictures were taken by Life's reporters Bill Ray and Joe Bride in 1965 during their 2 weeks stint hanging out with Berdoo Charter of the Hells Angels. The pictures tell a thousand story of how the 1%er biker subculture began and what it was all about. Amazingly Life magazine decided to publish these pictures for free in their website rather than publishing it in a book.

Gulf Bike Week 2012

The world economic crisis put a stop to almost all the glitter and 'fun' of Dubai as a vibrant city in the middle east. However peoples here are so used to rapid change of everything - from rack to rich and from rich to rack. So right now the city is recovering steadily together with the rest of the world and I can see a lot of things are starting to come back to the order of how it used to be.

One of those things which is relevant to me, is the Gulf Bike Week. We had it in 2011 and we will have it again in 2012. It is going to be fun with bike show, meeting up with bikers from the region and performance by international bands - Megadeth, Daughtry and Razorlight. There will be also performance by local UAE bands - Absolace, Sandwash and Juliana Down. On top of this, the weather is getting colder and it definitely means a season for comfortable riding (we do ride during middle east summer but very very uncomfortable to the point when I wondered ..why did I ride in this condition?).

Stay tune I will be sharing pictures and stories of Gulf Bike Week 2012..
