stuff

If you weren't gonna buy it, I would have! Very tidy machine and looked after by an expat who was clearly passionate about it. Loads of useful spares and gear as well!

Tomorrow will be a blast and StuckMojo will be coming to play as well.

If this bike is really as advertised - is a bit of a bargain.

Another month or two until back in the dunes - so now is the time to buy if you want one!

That reminds me.....I need to pay and collect the helmet off you. Will send you a message when I am back in Dubai this Saturday.

Ok mate. No worries - it is still there.

Hmmm, itchy trigger finger.

Quite expensive though, non? I can get a GSXR1000 with yoshi/power-commander etc for the same price. Question is, do I want to be a dune basher or a track thrasher?

I saw that and thought the same.

then I saw this

2016 YZ anniversary for 22K, brand new!

[Fats25]

YZ's should be blue!

Also I have an anti-Yamaha perspective on Bikes. I think they are a bit like Harley owners

Seriously though that is a great price too. I have ridden a YZ and is a much better bike than the WR.

Now then...

Dune bashing season will be upon us soon. Notwithstanding you wonderful people of this here thread, can anyone point me in the direction of a specific club for this particular two-wheeled activity?

Currently thinking of picking up a 450 KTM or Yamaha (other options considered though) . Any thoughts on which bike is best suited to the sand pit. It helps that I have a Yamaha dealer next door to my office.

KTM are big out here. There is lots of choice and they will always re-sell without issue. When riding out on a weekend, you'll mostly see a sea of orange. But also consider Husqvarna, essentially a KTM with development parts. Great looking bike in my opinion and good value to be had, I'll be considering the move from KTM to Husqvarna next year. SRG are the dealer. But KTM UAE are ok to deal with as well.

But 450 all the way.

Thanks Rich,

Are there any specific forums where you guys arrange to head off to the dunes?

This one !

Rich and stuck mojo are away at the moment. End of September we will be out most Friday mornings. I think you are in AD if I remember correctly ?

There are a few guys come up to Dubai to ride from AD, and we will be heading up there too (I've not been yet), but once you get to meet everyone - you will get a ride a week if you want it ? I suggest if you are interested to look at bikes now and also at gear.

The UAE is limited for gear - so we mostly ship it in from UK/USA - and it can take a few weeks.

Drop me a PM if you want more details ?
