I went to the 2010 Kuwait Bike Show on Friday…it was a well organized event with HOG Chapters from all around the gulf especially Bahrain and KSA, the weather was bad but it seamed that the crowd did not mind it…custom bikes builders from Bahrain participated with some really cool bikes, there was also a couple of local bikes that were also nice.

The massacre of the Suzuki brothers

A friend of mine got the new BMW S1000RR for a day to test ride it, we went out around 10am Friday and enjoyed the usual Friday morning ride …then we meet up with some friends for coffee, one had a Hayabusa and the other had a GSX-R 1000, of-course the usual debate starts and we end up racing the BMW against the Hayabusa and its little brother the GSX-R1000.
I’ll leave you with a couple of videos… Read more
A Master Piece
Filed under: Bike World, Bikes, Local, Moto Guzzi, Reviews
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.
The Aging Busa
Filed under: BMW, Crazy Stuff, Local, Personal, Racing, Reviews, Suzuki
A couple of my friends are hard core Hayabusa fans, they have ridden almost all kind of bikes but they swear by the Hayabusa, the other day we were having coffee at TriStar and they were asking me about my K1300R and if it really performs like a 1300cc machine..they were like: we know it has good breaks and traction -a couple of things the Haybusa lacks- but is it as fast as Busa ?
My answer was: yes it is very powerful but it can’t compete with thr Hayabusa when it comes to top end speed becuase its a naked bike and lacks the wind tunnel aerodynamics the Busa has….we had a long debate then decided to put both machines to the test, so we went to a place were we can test them, we did a couple of test runs then 2 final runs to crown a winner.

GulfRun 5 car show
Filed under: Cars, Charity, Clubs, Events, Fast, GulfRun, Kuwait, Local, Photos, Toys
This year is the fifth year for the GulfRun event, the event is becoming very popular, and better organized, the participants are 50+ thats around 10 more than last year.
A lot of companies noticed the popularity of the event and are sponsoring it…Bike World is raffling 2 GulfRun branded Vispas, and the proceeds will go to the Hayat Cancer Foundation.
The cars are heavily moded, unfortunately we can’t tell how much HP these machines can pump out, but maybe next year they’ll have a specs sheet next to each car listing the modes, HP, and breaking power.
