Captured this at the gulf road a couple of weeks back, am guessing this is the first wrecked Panamera world wide.

Love at first sight

By our friend and blog contributor Jerry.
That was the feeling when I first set foot in the modest showroom of MV Agusta KUWAIT, seeing the all new 2011 Brutale 1090RR setting in the corner looking for a new bike fanatic owner…..could it be you? i hope not, coz i like to have it for myself…if not lets hope the owner will be a friend and as a result i can take the bike for a spin and write more about this nice peace of art on wheels.

A couple of weeks back i got a message from a friend inviting me to join a new riding group called Kuwait Riders, i joined their Facebook Group and a week ago i got an invitation to attend the inauguration gathering which took place yesterday at Movenpick free zone.
It was a nice gathering, the group was introduced and goals explained….i also got to meet riders that i haven’t seen for a while.

Donuts Day
May 16, 2010 · 3 Comments
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.

The 48
May 13, 2010 · 2 Comments
I was at the Harley showroom yesterday, and i was surprised to see the new Sportster 48, i posted about the bike back in Jan when it was first launched and i fell in love with it by just looking the photos.
I was hopping i wouldn’t change my mind when i see it in person, as a lot of stuff doesn’t look as good in real life as they do in pictures….the 48 did not disappoint me the bike looks even better than the photos with its skinny fuel tank, balloon tyres, under the handlebars mounted mirrors, shorty front mudguard, and low height single seat.
Although the bike comes in three classic paint options, they only brought the black… i really like to see the gray and the orange.
I believe Harley did a good job with the 48, and if you’re shopping for a real retro then look no further.

The massacre of the Suzuki brothers
January 30, 2010 · 22 Comments
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… (more…)

A Master Piece
January 20, 2010 · 9 Comments
I visited Bike World showroom today to check if they got any new\interesting 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
January 16, 2010 · 8 Comments
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.
