Title: Qatar Motorbike Show 2014
Post by: mini-thumper on February 15, 2014, 11:19:19 AM
Went to a motorbike show in Doha a few weeks ago and have finally got round to uploading a few pictures. The bike scene here is VERY heavily influenced by both wanna be Hells Angels and/or crazy nutter ba$tards in shorts'n'flip-flops on Superbikes. Needless to say neither of these genres appeal to me so they don't, expensive and kitch as they were, don't get a look in. On the other hand the only two mono lungers that put in an appearance are shown below.

I have seen a few Enfields about but not entirely sure I want to get one, and certainly not one with a chair.

Where as this was obviously created for some sort of dune busting hill climb and, in the slightly less strict vehicular environment we have here, was completely road legal! In the top right hand corner you can see a Harley ultra-low rider in progress; I'm hoping it was some sort of gallery piece as the speed dumps here wouldn't raise eyebrows in the ISDT.

Cheers for now
Boyd

Thank you Boyd.  ;D

The dune climber could be fun!  ;)

As for the item of scr*p in the background, dragging it's sump across the car park, probably a hodmadod at making progress!  ;)

Keep taking the factor50.

My regards, Bill.
