GulfRun 5 car show

January 15, 2010 by · 5 Comments

This year is the fifth year for the GulfRun event, the event is becoming very popular, and better organized, the participants are 50+ thats around 10 more than last year.

A lot of  companies noticed the popularity of the event and are sponsoring it…Bike World is raffling 2 GulfRun branded Vispas, and the proceeds will go to the Hayat Cancer Foundation.

The cars are heavily moded, unfortunately we can’t tell how much HP these machines can pump out, but maybe next year they’ll have a specs sheet next to each car listing the modes, HP, and breaking power.

I’ll leave you with some photos Read more

The New Ducati GP10

January 15, 2010 by · Leave a Comment

Claudio Domenicali -general manager of Ducati Motor – talks about the new Ducati GP10 for the 2010 MotoGP  season:

“The main changes to the bike are based on the rule changes, so the major part of the work was done precisely to make it perform better using only six engines for the entire championship,” explained Domenicali. “It’s a very important difference, because we were used to using more-or-less one engine per race, so to switch from 18 engines to six is a very important adjustment. All of the main parts were redesigned – pistons, rods, crankshaft, the basics. It’s an engine with which our main objective was to minimise the loss of power to increase durability.” Read more

A bike with a Guardian Angel

Tristar gave me the new BMW S1000RR to ride on the weekend, i had to promise not to rev it to more than 9,000 rpm – a promise i broke at the first red traffic light turned green-, i don’t know where to start in describing the double RR, the bike is the size of 600cc but with a 1000cc engine, it has a very nice seating position…and all the technology that BMW is famous for -Race ABS, Race Traction Control, Shift Assist, 4 riding modes..etc -.

It took me some time to build trust in the technology and put it to the test, when i say putting it to the test i mean taking the bike to the limits…and frankly i couldn’t take it to the limit – i guess am getting old -. Read more

The best pain killer ever

January 4, 2010 by · 6 Comments

It has been 44 days since i had my accident and i have been on pain killers almost every day for the past 44 days….the reason am still on pain killers is that my shoulder is still hurting and according to the doctor it could take up to 3 month for the pain to go away completely …now the problem with the pain killer am taking is that its very strong to an extend that you can’t do anything that requires concentration…its like being high on drugs, its not a bad feeling at all.. its actually a nice one, it puts you in a very cool mood, but you can’t concentrate so you can’t work, a simple task like writing an email could take forever !!

Yesterday the weather was nice, and the movement of my shoulder became much better so i decided to take the bike for a spin… i told myself that am gona ride slowly and just enjoy the sun and cool breeze…after 10 minutes on the bike the blood start circulating faster, my glands start secreting that Epinephrine hormone, Epinephrine reaches my brain…my brain tells my right hand to twist the throttle a bit more and unleash some of the 173hps’ between my legs….the more i twist the throttle the bigger the Epinephrine dose become… i start feeling better, and all my pains disappear, ahhhh i feel alive again ….my brain is clear as if i drank a gallon of coffee, i feel like a teen again…yes thats the power of Epinephrine, i guess thats why they call us Adrenaline junkies.

Long live Adrenaline, the best pain killer ever.
