Fast Fujeirah

My buddy Irwan just got himself two babies ! one from her wife's belly and another one from BMW showroom....named as R1200R. He is pretty stoke about it, we all are.

He just put on some accessories on his bike and that was a no-brainer call for a summer night ride to burn the new tires. Irwan, Khairul and myself rode to the dealership to pick up Irwan's bike. I put on my jacket despite the heat since I knew riding out with these two boys would never be to some downtown coffee shop.

My prediction was spot on and after some animated rejection talk, we blasted off to Fujeirah town about 156 kilometres from Dubai. It was a smooth and fast ride at 140 - 180 km/h ripping through the dry hot wind. But the moment we entered Fujeirah town, it felt like riding in a cloud. The place was so humid that every surface was fogged and damp. I drank 4 bottles of water and still felt thirsty.

We reached home at 3.00 am and I was very much grateful with my freezer like air conditioner system at home !




The Man and his R1200Rrrrr !

Night Ride with IMC

Summer can be so unpleasant in this part of the world with temperature reaching 50 celcius and 90% humidity. But I am blessed with crazy friends in my motorcycle club who will not take any excuse to stop riding.

So we went out riding in Abu Dhabi to attend an event at Malaysian embassy and went about a club business. Meeting up friends (bikers and non-bikers) is always a pleasure to me and what more if it is accompanied with delicious home-made meals.

We knew we had fun when everybody reached home at 4.00 am the next day ! Who says middle east summer is a no riding season !













Manx's bike is getting meaner and badder




Never ending jokes with these jokers


 Brothers of the wind
