Ride out this weekend?
« on: July 22, 2010, 08:34:29 AM »

I am new to the forum.  Looking for a ride out this weekend.  Can anyone recomend somewhere to ride to early Friday morning for a few hours round trip?  Also is the bike meet at the ADNOC petrol station near Spinney's on the Corniche still on Thursday nights at 1930
Thanks

Nizza,

Firstly welcome to the 'Nuthouse' always good to have another victim member on board this rocky ship... ;D

Friday morn meeting/ride outs usually start from the EPPCO station outside the Dragon Mart...Most meet up to ride for 5.30am now summer has decided to kick in, I am sure there will be a few posts later in regards to tomorrows ride out and who is up for it... :fing34:

Happy posting and safe riding  :yo:

Thanks Ferret.  As a newby to Abu Dhabi, where is Dragon Mart? Not sure I have been to a place that has so many malls and marts.   I will watch the posts to see what other crazy people would think of getting up at 5.30 in the morning just so they can ride their bike in relative comfort and safety!
Ciao

Hey nizza, welcome to the Form.  We are at Abu Dhabi too.  Me riding an FZ6 and my friend has a Ducati Hypermotard.  We don't venture oute long. however, goes all the way to Ghantoot, or Sweihan once in a while.  Just to keep the spirits high, we make it a point to have a quick dash till shahama on the Sh. Khalifa expressway on every weekends.  The climate is real bad these days.  with all the grear on you sweat like hell and it becomes really uncomfy.  BTW, what do you ride?  E-mail me at vinny71@emirates.net.ae

sorry for taking so long to get back
I ride a 2008 KTM Super Duke 990, and the wife rides a 2007 Triumph Street Triple 675 (although she's gone home for summer) so I have two bikes at the moment and nowhere to go!

Hi Guys,

I would be up for joining anyone for a rideout in the near future, I'm new to AD and currently on the look out for a bike.
I have a ZZR1100 and CBR6 back in Scotland and although the roads ain't going to be as twisty I will need a good run regularly @ the weekends. I may be asking a few questions re insurance etc in the UAE soon. Any help will be appreciated.
I look forward to meeting some like minded bikers.

Steven. :hiya:
