Riding Kuwaiti style !
Before and after track-day !
Bonjours Paris
My dear friend Hussain Al Samhan is in Paris, and he just sent me this photo.
He usually ride his bike all the way to Europe, but this year was an exception because riding thru Syria is not safe and there are no ferries from Egypt to Italy so he had to ship the bike to Morocco and tour Morocco then ride the ferry from there to Spain and ride the bike thru Spain all the way to Paris. I’m gona try to join him, but am not gona ship any of my bikes as am trying to buy a bike from France or Italy and spend a month touring Europe on it then sell it or just leave at a friend’s place.
I hope ill be able to do it before Hussain comes back.
Like a bird
Boys & Toys
Reminds me of the old days when we used to skip school to ride or repair our bikes, i guess some bad habits never change ;).
Riding the Himalaya
Its been a while since i did any summer riding, and due to the unrest in Syria and Egypt we had to cancel our Euro trip this year…the only way to reach Europe is thru Syria or by ferry from Alexandria, Egypt.
Five of my friends decided to look for an alternative and they ended up joining an organized 11 day Himalayan bike tour thru Spiti Valley, Manali all the way to Leh – the capital of the former Himalayan kingdom- on an 500cc Royal Enfield.
The guys left yesterday to New Delhi and from the outskirts of Delhi they will start their 11 day Himalayan adventure reaching altitudes of over 5500 meters on some of the toughest biking routes in the world.
The nice thing about this trip is being a one way trip, so they won’t be riding the motorcycles back.. they will be flying back to Delhi once they reach Leh.
I will try to post updates about the trip if i get any, but i believe the updates will be very little considering the route and the lack of communication tools.

No more Brno
The Czech Grand Prix one of the most attended races is might be coming to an end, Automotodrom Brno announced a loss of £2.9 million in 2010 which is likely to bring an end to the annual Czech Grand Prix, Automotodrom Chairwoman Ivana Ulmanova said: even if we cut operational costs it’s likely this summer’s Czech Grand Prix will be the last one.
So my Tiq Taqi friends its either this summer or never 😉
The 6iq Taqies ride Losail
A small clip of a warm up lap at Losail.
Losail is a very nice and fast track, its 5.380 km in length, 12 meters width, has 10 right corners and 6 left ones with a main straight of 1,068 meters, it also has a good safe area just incase you like running out wide like me.
In 2007, the track was equipped with lighting for night races and became the largest sport venue with permanent lighting in the world, but it recently lost the title to Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi.
The first night race in MotoGP history was the Commercialbank Grand Prix of Qatar in March 2008.
