Best of 2010
2010 is the year of the European manufacturers’, as they were the ones with a lot of cash during the global recession and continued to feast us with new products while the Japanese went into hibernation.

One night stand
let me rephrase that “One season stand”, BMW has officially confirmed the divorce between them and Davide Tardozzi’s due to “different ideas with the rest of the team on the structure of the team” !!
Do you think Ducati will take him back?
Please DO try this at home
If you think you can.
From the GSX-R to the RR
Leon Haslam has been officially released from his contract with Alstare Suzuki due to financial problems facing the team.
Deep pocketed BMW seized the opportunity, and Haslem will be taking Ruben Xaus place riding alongside Troy Corser in the BMW Motorrad team for the 2011 season.
I believe this a great move by BMW, as they need a young rider with great stamina and determination like Haslem next to Corser their experienced rider.

Trip review
“Video best watched in HD”
The trip took around a month from August 3rd to September 1st, we spent a week in Syria, around 2 weeks in Turkey and a week in Greece.
Being on the bike made us very popular wherever we go or stay, everyone wanted to talk to us and help -if we needed any-, we made a lot of friends and went to places where tourists can never go.
It was a bit tiring but it was worth it, and i would definitely do it again, but i would ship the bike to Syria and start from there to save myself the hassle of going thru KSA and Jordan.
Not for sale
We were at a gas station in Rhodes when the owner of the gas station approached me and asked me to follow him saying he has something to show me.
Good morning Bodrum
Destination Greece
We were planing this trip of a while and were supposed to leave Kuwait back in July, but we had to postponed it hoping a couple of our friends will be able to join us, but unfortunately they couldn’t and we ended up only 2 -out of 4- me on my K1300R and my friend on his B-King
We left Kuwait Monday 9pm, reached Syria the next day around 5pm, we intended to stay only 2 days in Syria, rest the first day and ride around the next day.
We spent the first day at the pool, then went riding for around 5 hours between the villages in the mountains… we reached 950m elevation, we were literary over the clouds. Read more
