Hey Mark,

I know this post is like 6 yrs old now, but I’ll give it a shot anyway.

I was planning to get my motorcycle learners permit. I called up tristar and they told me they don’t help with getting the istimaara.

Do you know anyone else who helps out with the process? I tried going to to the traffic dept myself but no was of real help coz nobody there spoke english and I can’t speak arabic to save my life!

[...] My driving license is expiring in a few days, so on Sunday I passed by the Hawally Traffic Department in Jabriya. Regular readers might remember I had passed by the same place two weeks earlier when getting my motorbike learners permit. So once again I got my papers typed out in the typing room and then headed towards window #1. [...]

i dont get bikes and convertibles in kuwait. what the fuck is there to see? sand and dust??? that sux, i just got back from boston (dear God get me back) and the sights there are amazing. i find it really boring riding a bike or convertible in q8.

Well at least you had a nice guy helping you guys out! The high ranking cop probably shouted at the guy who didnt want to sign your paperwork!

Two hours aint too bad for government documents! Now you guys got your permits! hehehe!

Training shall begin! This is going to be cool, and I will give you guys pointers about where to ride and how to ride inshalla!
