BikeWorld the local dealer of Vespa, Gilera and Piagio scooters is organizing a scooter ride Friday morning, i’am not sure if they will be bringing demo scooters for people to ride or they are only organizing the ride for scooter owners, either way its nice gesture but a bit late as the weather is getting hot.

See you all on Friday 🙂 .

Saturday is now officially Bikers Donuts Day, every  Saturday  Donuts are served at TriStar in the morning and at Bike World in the evening…Dunkin Donuts, Tea Nescafe at TriStar,  Krispy Kreme and drip coffee at Bike World.

It’s a nice gesture form both dealers to bring bikers together, you get to get together with fellow bikers and chat about bikes of course share experiences, latest adventures, bike modes, etc.

Yesterday i went to both gatherings, and today i noticed that i did not eat anyting other than Donuts yesterday and i only eat plain ones!!!

Oh and don’t miss the South African round of the WSBK today at 1pm.

All the photos i took were bad because of the weather so i decided to use a stock photo

Early morning on Saturday  i started getting the usual SMSs’ form the guys asking me to wake up and join them for a ride, they knew i had the RSV4 Factory and they wanted to see how it performs and properly take it for a spin….i wasn’t interested in waking up early because i thought its still dusty outside, but i took a peak from behind the curtains and the next thing you know am doing +200km/h on the first curve that came my way… -it’s only when the curve ended i realized how fast i was going!- Read more

Aprilia RSV4R

A couple of weeks ago i visited Bike World to check the new Guzzi models and was told that they are getting the new Aprilia RSV4R soon, yesterday i was in Shuwaikh so i decided to drop in and check if the bike has arrived, and i wasn’t disappointed..the bike was there..and apparently it just arrived today… they had both the black and white versions.

The bike has the same engine of the Factory version but without the Öhlins suspension, the forged rims, and the couple of carbon pieces, the price difference is huge and makes the RSV4R very affordable, the bike is the size of 600cc but with the 1000cc engine, it has the most aggressive looks among the one liter bikes.

A Master Piece

I visited Bike World showroom today to check if they got any newinteresting bikes, and i wasn’t disappointed…they had the new spacial edition Griso, the  GRISO 8V SE.

The bike comes only in a matte green finish with race stripes that gives it a sporty look, a brown leather saddle with classic stitching, and to top up the classic looks it also comes with Alpina spoked wheels, these wheels are the best tubeless spoked wheels on the market and are race ready, i even upgraded my Duc with a set of their Tattoo line.. what surprised me even more is the use of floating discs breaks and calipers, a race technology that you don’t usually see on a production bike.

This bike needs someone  with a very spacial taste to appreciate the name and the history of Moto Guzzi, someone that appreciate the good looks, someone with a character, someone that will look like the cherry on the cake when riding this master piece.

I hate the Italians, because all their creation constantly reminds me that i am not Jay Leno and i can’t afford a grage like Jay Leno’s Garage , and to own every bike you like would be like getting married to every beautiful women you meet….its never ending.

l think this Guzzi was born a classic, so if you like classic bikes then this one must be among your collection and you have got to see it in person to know what i am talking about.
