Finding old friends
The below message was sent to the blog email..
Dear all ,
I wish that mr Jafar Bebehani will read this mail .
I was in Kuwait some 10 or 15 years ago enjoying the friendship of a fantastic guy , mr Jafar and of all the other riders that on Friday morning were gathering themselves for the weekly ride.
It was really a good time and I bought a Ducati 916 SP3 and an HD 883 from Desert Star.
I think I was the only Italian riding with the group, so I hope that somebody remembers me.
I should be from 10 to 16th of july in Kuwait for a business trip, and I’ll be very pleased to meet some of the old friends.
If mr Jafar will read the mail I’ll be pleased if he can send me a message with the mobile number.

Well Mr.RICCHETTI if your Ducati had a “Fast By Ferracci” exhaust system then i remember you, and am sure a couple of the guys who used to ride in that group do remember you….nothing has changed we are still riding and racing like kids and then stop for coffee to start lying about who beat who :-).
Am sure Mr.Jaffar well be reading this post and will be replying, we would love to see you when you are back in Kuwait.

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.

Trying to be a bit feminist and show my support to the other sex, i participated yesterday in the “Just Ride” event organized by TriStar.. the ride was the first and only in the middle east.
It was a cool nice ride and i got to meetrace some female riders that really know how to ride ..never thought we had any in Kuwait !!
Gathered at TriStar, rode to Doha, then back to Applebee’s for diner curtsy of TriStar.
I also got to meet BuYousf… he had his camera on him and took some nice shots.

Meeting point was at Al Bedaa, from there around 70+ bikers cruised to the blood bank to donate blood..the staff of the blood bank were ready and the donation process was smooth and brisk, they even had a nice breakfast buffet with set up which was really nice from them.
Why bikers donate blood ?
They say there are two kinds of bikers, “Those who had an accident, and those who will” so we donate blood from time to because u never know when we might need some 😉
Oh and incase ur wondering am form the ones that had an accident – a couple actually –
