How would you define a bikers weekend ?
1. A Motorbike ride
2. Beer
3. Exotic food
4....?
5.... ?

I think unlike Bangalore or further south india, there are not much scenic spots near Delhi where you can chillout in a 50 km ride and be back. I did a short 100km ride on the Delhi-Gurgaon Xpresway !
Some snaps below of my bikers weekend last Saturday.

Papparazziiii

Hmmm

A fast bike
Long twisty country roads
Beer! (after the biking!)
Good friends
Nice weather

^everything above minus alcohol for me lol..

Twisties, lots and lots of twisties. A272 across southern England from Petersfield to Uckfield.

Sun soaked Sunday and home for a BBQ in the afternoon.

Aaaahhh, I shall miss that.

Rolling Thunder with 1000 other Harleys across the 2 Severn River bridges, joshing with the motorcycle cops, having an ox roast and a shandy, getting home tired and chilled to the bone.

Alternatively, packing the bike with the portable house, taking off with no destination agenda, stopping when it starts to get dark, pitching camp, getting a brew on, firing up the barbie and having a laugh with some good mates.

Can be done solo.

Friendship!!

Adventure, freedom, curves, and fun fun fun fun.

I am in Dubai for 2 weeks now, I am deeply missing bike rides...
I don't know where I can find the appropriated places, forums etc...
If anyone of you can help me, thanks

Somebody needs to organise this..

There are clubs who organise ride outs. I will get the info and post it here.

I would love to get back on a bike, but would be seriously worried about the constant lane changing. There are no rules, left, right, wherever there's a space.

All it takes is someone in a hummer to miss his blind spot and Bam!

You have to ride defensively, keep using those lifesavers and expect the unexpected. I used to get cramp in my fingers hovering over the brake handle when riding through traffic!

Its funny, but as i get older I see the attraction of Harleys et al more and more. I always said I would never have one. Now I say never say never.

I know the lane changing is manageable. But I'm just not sure I would get the same pleasure as I did back in the UK.

A Harley is a good bet over here. Get the Screamin' Eagle exhaust conversion as 'Loud Pipes Save Lives' so they know you are there.

Once you get outside Dubai there is some beautiful riding country to be explored.

If anybody has a bike and feels all alone and sad and has no clue where to go to find some excellent twisties may i suggest that you make your way to the Epco petrol station opposit the dragon mall on nearly any Friday morning between 07.00 to 08.00 you will find many bikers about to blow the cobwebs away.

There is a site where these ride outs are planned but being a newbie here i dont want to piss anybody off (just yet) by posting it,however if i am allowed to i will.
