I went to Al Corniche Club today to visit the TriStar guys and to test ride some of the bikes they had, the weather was nice and the event was well organized, a lot of bikers showed up..it was like a bikers’ gathering…some female bikers were also there.

We have ridden almost all the bikes they had there, then ended up riding each other bikes….it was a like a bike orgy.

Miss Lebanon Emigrant of Kuwait happened to be there and was in her Halloween costume which matched the colors of my bike. Read more

Optimate™ 3+ Desulfating Battery Charger

I haven’t been riding my bikes this summer, i was either traveling or the weather is too hot to ride…i think more than 4 month have past since i last started them up…that made the batteries really weak, but they were still able to crank the engine, so i figured if i don’t do something about it really quick they will probably die and have to change them.

So i went and bought the Optimate 3+ battery charger, the charger comes with a Ducati adapter and i bought an extra adapter for the BMW, it verify, tests, and confirms whether the battery can retain sufficient charge to crank the engine, it applies ‘first aid’ for up to 2 hours, to recover the battery so it can again accept charge…then it engages the long term maintenance mode, it “floats & tests” 30 minutes on, 30 minutes off, so the battery is always 100% ready, but never overcharged.

I hooked it to the BMW and left over night to charge, the next morning i went to check it just to find out that the cleaners decided to hose the parking and that my Optimate 3+ was completely wet…it was actually swimming in a small pool of water but still working!! i unplugged it and went to read the manual to check what could be done…to my surprise the thing turns out water broof!!

Lesson learned: always read the manual before operating anything no matter how silly you may think it is.

Alrashid Hospital in collaboration with Kuwait BMW Motorcycles Club, organized a ride for club members in the occasion of the “Gulf Smoke Out Day “…meeting point was at Al Corniche Club and from there to Al Rashid Hospital for a snack, refreshments, and a little prsentation on the side effects of smoking, and how can Alrashid Hospital helps those who are willing to quit.

Smokers wrote down their names on their cigarets packs and dropped them in box for a draw on prices form the event sponsors,  the funny part was that there were very few smokers -around 5 out of over 50 riders-, and those who smoked were lucky because they’ll be wining some cool prices in the draw.
