…and the feeling’s right
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.
Yesterday was not a good day
for bikers…2 accidents and i was there a minute after both had happend…
One was when i was going for lunch and and the other was when i was on my way home, the first one was a Ninja ZX-14 and the other was a Busa 1300, the rider of the Ninja managed to move and set on the side walk but was in pain and bleeding a bit…but the guy on the Busa looked really bad… the Ninja was totaled but the Busa was just laying down as if someone laid it there!!!
For some reason i did not have the heart to come closer and help them, but a lot of people where already doing so.
The annoying part is when the police came to the first accident, one of the policemen was asking: who is owner of the bike -as if he can’t tell- then asked him to move the bike to the side of the road !!!
Nice weather eh?
The weather was very bad the last couple of weeks and i did not get a chance to enjoy a ride, i was hopping to ride today but the weather is damn good for riding… i miss waking up early on Friday -i never wake up early for work- and meeting the other nuts to slice a couple of curves and make some noise….i miss the rush when going into a curve not knowing if u’ll mange to do it or not…u try to stay within limits but that 100+ hp between ur legs has a mind of its own..and u just have to obey.
I hope the weather gets a bet worse tomorrow.

Ride 4 Blood
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 –
