An evening at the Autodrom
A couple of weeks ago we got an email from Ducati UAE inviting us to the opening of the Dubai showroom, we were also asked to register for a chance to win a one-to-one session with Troy Bayless.
We had the time so we decided to drive 1300km to Dubai, be part of the event, race our bikes at the Autodrom, and have dinner with Troy Bayliss.
I had some complications and i ended up flying to Dubai while my friend towed the bikes alone all the way to Dubai, and from the photo above i think he enjoyed the 1300km drive to Dubai

Lorenzo snatches the win from Rossi
All he had to do was to overtake Rossi and things just fell in place after that, this is what he had to say:
“Passing Valentino wasn’t so easy because he was braking so deep and I had to be very patient, something that I might not have managed one year ago! Finally I overtook him but I didn’t expect to be able to get away like that. My bike and Bridgestone tyres just felt so good and it wasn’t difficult for me to keep this pace up.”
The real battle was between the two Honda team mates Pedrosa and Dovizioso, Dovizioso managed to steal the third place at podium from Pedrosa at the final lap.

Kuwait Riders Group
A couple of weeks back i got a message from a friend inviting me to join a new riding group called Kuwait Riders, i joined their Facebook Group and a week ago i got an invitation to attend the inauguration gathering which took place yesterday at Movenpick free zone.
It was a nice gathering, the group was introduced and goals explained….i also got to meet riders that i haven’t seen for a while.
For more about Kuwait Riders Group please visit their Facebook page, the group website http://kuwaitriders.com/ is still under construction.
Online registration form, Photos of the event.
What’s your color?
Looks like the RRs are here, am not sure if they are already sold because they are at the workshop and not in the showroom.
Retrosexual
A retrosexual is a man who spends as little time and money as possible on his appearance, got a likes and embraces classic pop culture, chooses to live a retrolifestyle….mindset in the 80s or 90s time period.Wears retro fashion in a modern way, listens to electronica and has a passion for old video games and listens to music which can relate to the sounds of those of the 80s or 90s.
In the female case, its the woman who eschews the sexual-revolution plank of feminism in favor of more-traditional values. ..Sexless in the City, but only ’cause she chooses to be.
Kyalami race highlights
Haslam triumph in Kyalami
In Race one Fabrizio on the Ducati took an early lead and was having fun and kept us amused with his slides in and out of corners, it was like watching a stunt rider performing high speed stunts.
Although Fabrizio won race one of the Kyalami round, but the real worrier was Haslam on the Suzuki…he was the star of race one and two, battling against the rookies -Rea- and the geezers -Biaggi- he manged to snatch race two from Rea at the last lap, it was a prertty intense fight.
Manufacturers standings : SUZUKI 222, APRILIA 213, DUCATI 185.
Donuts Day
Saturday is now officially Bikers Donuts Day, every Saturday Donuts are served at TriStar in the morning and at Bike World in the evening…Dunkin Donuts, Tea Nescafe at TriStar, Krispy Kreme and drip coffee at Bike World.
It’s a nice gesture form both dealers to bring bikers together, you get to get together with fellow bikers and chat about bikes of course share experiences, latest adventures, bike modes, etc.
Yesterday i went to both gatherings, and today i noticed that i did not eat anyting other than Donuts yesterday and i only eat plain ones!!!
Oh and don’t miss the South African round of the WSBK today at 1pm.
The 48
I was at the Harley showroom yesterday, and i was surprised to see the new Sportster 48, i posted about the bike back in Jan when it was first launched and i fell in love with it by just looking the photos.
I was hopping i wouldn’t change my mind when i see it in person, as a lot of stuff doesn’t look as good in real life as they do in pictures….the 48 did not disappoint me the bike looks even better than the photos with its skinny fuel tank, balloon tyres, under the handlebars mounted mirrors, shorty front mudguard, and low height single seat.
Although the bike comes in three classic paint options, they only brought the black… i really like to see the gray and the orange.
I believe Harley did a good job with the 48, and if you’re shopping for a real retro then look no further.
