Ride in style
I was in Shuwaikh yesterday and noticed a new motorcycle showroom…i looked up to the sign and saw the following brands: Aprilia, PIAGGIO, Vespa, GILERA, and MOTO GUZZI !!!
Parked quickly.. went down to check it out and there it was…a part of Italy’s’ motorcycle history, a showroom full of Vespa scooters, Moto Guzzi, and Aprilia ..
The Vespas’ were irresistible…i don’t know how i resisted going back on one, Vespa is an icon and it doesn’t matter if you are a male or a female, young or old, a house wife or a businessman the Vespa will have your heart skip a beat…this scooter is one of the few bikes that have a style of its own and has maintained its classic and classy looks look over the years.. no visit to Italy is complete without renting a Vespa and riding it on the twisty roads of Sorrento.

شدعوه يا زين
Two weeks ago -June 27 to be exact-, i changed my Zain line form postpaid to prepaid, i was told its gona take 10 minutes for the line to work but of-course it did not, called 107 to check and was told to just give it another 30 min…one hour later and the line is still not working called them again and this time a smart guy answer and he knew what the problem was… he opens a ticket and tells me it will take up 48 hours to work !!!
Called them yesterday -after 13 days- and they go we tried to speak to you but we couldn’t..i go: don’t call me just activate the line why do you want speak me about?
They said ok fine it will work in the next 24 hours…called them again today and reminded them of what they told me yesterday and they said we are working on it and it will get solved in less that 24 hours Inshalah!!!
شدعوه يا زين…كلها كبسه زر، ما يبيلها اسبوعين
The Fighters r here
Passed by TriStar showroom today to pick up some parts a ordered and was surprised to see the new Ducati Street Fighters…they had two bikes the standard one and the S version.
The seating position of this bike is unique…very up front, it’s very narrow and the size of the fuel tank is small which will constantly remind you of its light weight, ease of handling, and gives you confidant to do some stunt riding.
The S is already sold, they also have a pearl white 1198 which look really cool and sold of course.

Quality service
A year+ ago i bought a Storz Performance steering damper kit for my Ducati SC, the damper performed very well and was worth the investment..lately the damper started acting funny and steering the bike became very difficult…so i called Storz Performance and explained the problem..they were very helpfull and explained to me what could be the problem then asked me to send the damper back to have it checked, a couple of days later i got a brand new one at no cost not even a shipping cost !!!
Even though i’am at the other side of the world and used the damper for more than a year, Storz Performance was happy to replace it…talk about costumer service.
Thanks Jim.
It’s official
