| The one I know of is located right next to AL Raisi Gym behind President hotel, Karama area. Once u are in Karam take the right turn at city corner supermarket and it will take you directly to that shop. Car & Bike Rental. Thats the one I know...If you want other I can put you in touch with a friend.. Send me a PM and I'll give you his no. cheers |
| beaujarle |
PMed you but somehow the msg still in outbox. Mind PMing me the number, charges + formalities? Cheers. |
| KeithL |
bitch :lol: BA, it'll be great to see you here dude... |
| beaujarle |
Ditto...you goota hook me up with the bike rental place first. :lol: |
| gtmash |
That one seems to be the ONLY place anyone knows for bike rentals. I don't think they're the websited, uniformed, fixed rates, Hertz/Avis type of place, is it? Beau, you'll have to go there and find out all the details. |

| Damn! I'm missing all this action. :cry: It'll be atleast a month till I lay my hands on a bike. :oops: Hope you guys had fun. |
| gtmash |
KeithL uses his car most of the time. You can borrow his Vespa. |

I dont mind GT. 4 wheels move the body, 2 wheels (Vespa even) move the soul :lol: Now why can't I rent a bike using my international license while I have a residence visa. :? |
| hirenmistry |
| Hey GT is your website down? Cant seem to access it. |
| gtmash |
Yep. Total loss. Web hosting trying to recover data. At most, I'll only lose my blog posts and emails, since I backed up the main website only. |

| Speaking of hiring bikes, is there a place that hires out leathers & boots as well?? Its hubby's birthday in a few weeks and I'm going to get him as a present to go to Superbike School (April 13 @ autodrome) and he needs the gear. But we sold all his leathers & boots etc back in Oz, and don't really have the budget to buy them at the moment....let me know. |
| gtmash |
| A stinky used overall? Autodrome might have some lying around. They at least had overalls and helmets for cars last I was there. |
| hirenmistry |
Sorry about your loss. Any idea when the site will be up again? |
| gtmash |
Maybe take one more day, if I'm lucky. Tech support in UK is fixing the server. |
| devilsdiciple |
Try Race World at Awir....But I doubt there is anybody hiring out leathers here.... |

Your international licence gets invalid as soon a residence visa is stamped on ur passport... if u r caught, u r in trouble mate... |
| hirenmistry |
I know that and I sure as hell not taking any chances. But I was just wondering why is an international license not valid on a residence visa? If I was good enough to drive while on a visit... Now that I've got an NOC will start classes soon enough. Thanks |
| KeithL |
where are you taking your classes Hiren ?>? |
