Just back from Dubai. Great city to visit. However, I brought my motorbike jacket, pants and helmet with me (and had to pay overweight!!! Bloody Air France), and all for nought!
The address given to me by Colin is about the only place you can rent bikes in Dubai (unless I missed some), but they only rent Honda CBR 600, not exactly a bike to ride in the desert.
So I was bummed out that I couldn't ride. Then on the last day, my hosts took me to BMW Dubai. There, I see a big poster announcing BMW's Off Road school for the Emirates !!! Since there was nobody at the BMW showroom (there's only 1 guy, and it was his day off), I went to the web (should have done that in the first place), to discover that the last course for the year was 7 & 8 April .... just when I was there !!!!
So now I'm really bummed out!!! I could have done that. I took a jeep ride in the desert and that was spectacular, but it would have been perfect to do it on a bike.
So next year, I guess I'll head out to Dubai again, but this time I'll book the off road course. Guess it'll be much different than doing it in Wales!!!!
