Riding Harleys on the Persian Gulf

Xpress4Me.com, a publication about life in the United Arab Emirates, has a feature about the HOG Chapter in Dubai...

Dubai Harley Owners Group HOG
It's a pretty entertaining read about the life of a riding club half-way around the world in an area where it just gets too damn hot to ride...

"There is nothing like the open road," says American Don Decker, 59, road captain and director of Dubai's Harley Owners' Group (HOG). "This is a good chance to get sand in our face. We must leave by 5am to get in a few hours of cooler riding. If we aren't back by 10am, we just cook in our gear."
There's also an album of 20 photographs from one of their rides...

  • I just found this site and I know this is an old article. However Iam an American that worked in Duabi in 2006, I leased a bike from Dubai H-D and I found that in the summer time during the day I would be the only one riding, I never saw any other bikes on the road. But as fall and winter approached bikes came out of no where and many people claimed to be bikers. Not be judgemental but if you are a true biker weather can not determine when you ride.
    But if you ever get to Dubai make sure you take a ride to Jabeel Hafeet it is really nice in the summer time as weahter is cooler at the higher altitude and the road is awesome and make a trip to Fujairah as you leave the desert and enter the green lush landscape and higher alltitude the tempurature drop makes it a worthwhile trip.
