Sen.
Biker in UAE Man you have great courage, for I see people drive here at my place in cars, I would have a second thought on bikes.

Coming to the meet part. PM your numbers and lets start communicating on the meet and ride. This friday is predicted to have a downpour. So IMHO, we can communicate and make a plan and hit the roads next week.

I am vehicle-less and I wouldn't mind car-pooling.

Cheers

What is so eye-popping about this ?

Surasen is not alone and including yours truely I know at least 10 TBHPianas in Dubai, who ride regularly on Friday mornings including in peak summer.

There is nothing courageous about it - all you have to do is to be sensible and ride deffensively.

You should come to the EPCO station at Dragon Mart around 6.00 am on a Friday - then your eyes will pop at the verity of bikes and number of bikers there - on a good day you get up to 100 bikes there within about 2 hours.

Visit my Triumph Bonniville Thread if you want to see some pictures.

Best Regards & Drive/Ride Safe

I don't know about Dubai, but in Ajman I could say that the number of bikes are minimum. And I think that is the best bet here cos I don't see any sense of lane discipline or sensible driving here. Dubai should be better as you say.

Sensible applies to both parties on the road. One being sensible and the other reckless still paves way for accident. But I guess if its a group, then its probably safe.

Will go through your thread to see the bikers and bikes

Cheers

As I mentioned earlier we ride almost year round on week ends. Therea are groups in most of the cities in UAE but Dubai and Abu Dhabi has the maximum riders. October to April is or best riding wether.

There are TBHPians who ride regularly, but not in a group, but are split in various groups.

Around Christmas time action may be less as many expats travel for vacation as the schools are also closed - specially western expats (who incidently are the bulk of the riders).

Hi Shahul,
Hope you are doing great.

I had been driving in UAE now almost over 2 years, although not regular.

Hope to see you soon.

Re: UAE Team BHP Meet

Looking at the weather forecast, I am a bit worried what nature will have in store for us over the weekend. Positive side is that you get to see the colors of UAE at it's best.

Any suggestions on the location?

Re: UAE Team BHP Meet

We can ride to Hatta.
One place to gather would be the Emarat Petrol station on the Sheikh Zayed

After 3 long years, I have seen a lot of motorbikes. Wonderful. I myself have a motorbike license. I admit I was wrong at the first instance, since I didn't know Kalba existed.

Cheers!

Hello Affsal,

We do meet up once a month. There is another thread where usually things get updated (sometimes). Most of the times, since the meet happens between the same group of people we use whatsapp.

The link to the other thread, http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/team-b...hp-meet-5.html

Do PM me your number, if you will be interested in joining our Whatsapp group.

Cheers!
