Sadly Dissapointed from the story and the comments . look at the bright side all of you guys are still liveing in kuwait . otherwise if you are really dissapointed with the way things go around here , why dont you pack your bags and head back to lebanon tomorow morning so you dont miss the main event which will happen tomorow in sahat il shohada2. By then i bet you would have a story to write about and ESPECIALLY the way your “Darak” is gona oraganise things. Goodluck to you.

[...] I just got the following email from a reader: AbdulAziz wrote: I’m a frequent visitor of your how shall I put it colorful site in both topics and presentation. I was shocked to see the topic about the Harley crash … I was the first to witness the accident the guy was right in front of me when he flipped due to bad judgment by the lady merging onto the street …. However, I called the emergency service 777 … just wana share my disappointing experience with them … it took 6 tones for them to answer keep in mind it should not take more then 1….. once they answered I Said guys a bike just flipped come over and make it quick on Khaleej Road opposite Hard Rock café…. They acknowledged and took my name incase it was a prank call …. They called back 8 minutes later and asked me if he needed an AMBULANCE …. Why the hell was I calling u …. After I emphized that he did they hanged up and called 10 mins later …. They asked where he was and said that they are at the place but there was no accident … I said again please check … they called and hanged up for about 15mins just double checking ….. anyways I got pissed and starting raising my voice …. Apparently they were at the HARD COOK restaurant and not Hard Rock. [...]

“oiyouidiotyouboughtmeagirlsbike” you seem like a really dumbass driver(seriously)heartless bi#*@…when you have your ass one day on a seat of a bike “not SUV” and feels how carefull and alert you should be all the time no mater where you ride in kuwait roads, earth or even the moon and relize how pianfull it could be if some jackass driver with SUV “most of the times” thinks that they own the road not considering that they are sharing it with all kind of vehicles not just SUV`s and causing accidents then I wana see you laughing..OK

and about the biker who had the accident we all hope that he would be recovered soon and go back to enjoy riding hes bike inshalla, 5a6ak elsow ma tshoof shar salamat..hellraiser thanx man keep up the good work.

Oh my goodness, what a tragedy, I got to learn about this entry from many people calling me and asking if I were on the scene with the people that had the accident, I don’t know what to say really, this is really tragic and horrifying indeed..

Hellraiser, Thanks for all the updates bro,

Zaydoun, Indeed, most Harley riders go out very early in the morning, like at 7:30 or 8:00 am to avoid the crazy mid night hawks that wake up around 2 pm on Thursday.. but sometimes like Hellraiser said, they would be out all day on an official ride and get stuck on riding home at night.. I one had many problems when I used to ride to south of Kuwait and had to ride back after sunset on the highways, for some reason, all of a sudden all cars think I want to race them and start doing strange maneuvers around me putting me and some other riders in a very awkward position..

My heart goes out to him, and to every responsible biker that always obey the law and put road safety first.. accidents happen, but it’s a pity when you know that it’s not someone that was breaking the law by speeding or pulling a freakin stunt on the road..

I pray the biker recovers well soon.
I am ridding bikes for the last 30 years & never rode without a full face helmet,and rarely without full gear even when I rode a Harley.
The rule of thump is when you want to look cool with less protection then DO not ride fast on a main commercial street specially if your brakes are not ABS.Stasistically about 70% of car drivers envolved with in a bike accident claim they ” DID NOT SEE THE BIKE ” so it is the biker’s duty to make sure he is more visible and ride with caution.Also I know for sure most of the bikers in Kuwait did not learn how to ride and handel a bike with proper instructions.
If you want to enjoy ridding then protect yourself with the right gear. Like I always say you Do No go in the swimming pool with a suite even if you look smart in it.
Wish Ahmed reads about the concern we all have for him

That is the whole point, looking cool should never be considered before safety.
My prayers for the biker in the accident.

Zaydoon thats correct however these guys were heading home after yesterdays ride.

Mark the full face is a better options by all means, however remains the issue of style and Harley bikes, half helmets are way cooler both in looks and heat dissipation.

I always thought the Harley owners preferred to ride in the early morning precisely because it’s safer for them… no idiots on the road changing lanes at random

@ mark
yeah neither have I! (except during test rides by auto journalists)
and broken bones couldnt be avoided in any case

I don’t think I have ever seen a Harley rider with a full face helmet. The riders I have spoken to all say they don’t need the extra protection cuz they don’t speed.

In this situation the broken bones could not have been avoidable but the facial injuries all could have been just by using a full face helmet.

I wish the biker a speedy recovery and wish there were more people who would stop their vehicle after a crash.
By the way a ‘full face’ lid would’ve saved his front teeth ( i know from experience :) )
