My Morning Ride
Despite me failing my riding testlast week, I decided to go for my first ride out today early morning with a friend who has a Harley and another biker friend of his.
I woke up at 7:30AM and headed out onto the gulf road to meet up with the two. I was too damn sleepy but I was also really excited. This was my first time out without my trainer and I wasn’t nervous at all. I think Mark was worried about me but thats to be expected.
I met up with the bikers next to Marina Crescent and we took off from there. The ride went pretty smooth and as good as I would have hoped for. It was really fucking cold though, and my gear seemed to do very little to keep me warm. Even though I had my windproof biking jacket on, gloves, boots and thick kevlar jeans, I could still feel the cold wind slipping through. My fingers were freezing and I felt they were gonna fall off at one point. But that still didn’t really stop me from enjoying my ride.
My friend Marwan managed to take some cool pictures of me while on the road since he’s a far more experienced driver than I am. I’ll be waiting for the day when I can ride with one hand and shoot pictures with the other at the same time.
When I am on my bike I feel rather confident, not overconfident just confident and now I cant wait for my next ride on friday. More pictures below.
I am happy for you girl! Im happy you like biking!
Next time I will meat up with you to go riding! Or whenever you feel like! If mark isnt riding at that time either!
Now you know how I wake up at 7am some fridays to ride! Thats just great! And that jacket wont keep you too warm! hehehe! I think you need a winter jacket now!
Let me know anytime you want to ride I am more then happy to go riding with you and your biker gang! I bet you would be the leader of the biker gang!
Mark time for another bike so both of you can ride at the same time! hehehe!
Come to think of it, i dont think i’v seen a female biker b4 in kuwait. Way to go girl u rock. Start a revolution.
N now ur riding with biker gangs n all next thing we know u’ll b dressed up completly in leather n have tattoos all over u. . .lol
omg.. ALIENS ALIENS!!
Glad to hear & see you finally made it on the road on your own.I had no doubt about your abilities !Do not worry about the outcome of the test.Just keep ridding & build up experience.With more proper winter gear you will enjoy the ride even more.Heated Grips anybody ?
great post nat, a girl-biker in kuweit…keep on doin it man!!!
Here’s the plan:
I start riding with you guys as a “passenger” until parents (especially dad) gets used to the idea of me on a bike and next summer I would get my own bike at ease. How about that? Am not soo sure about which kind of bike I’d go for, but we’ll see when the time comes ;)
Oh also: If I saw you on the road, I wouldn’t have recognized you!
lol nat looks cooler on the bike than mark. maybe it’s the helmet?
Like the helmet!
excuse me for saying this but for a married girl nat, you have a lot of male friends “wink wink”
it’s a joke don’t crucify me ok ….
please be careful, dont ride like Mark. And Mark I’m not using my name Mark as you asked.
Lots of love and best wishes from chicago.
jane, whats wrong with a married woman having male friends? FRIENDS being the opparative word
Anyhoo Looking Good Nat :)
you look really tiny in that helmet.
Hehe thanks everyone for your comments! I’ve always wanted to learn how to ride bikes since I was a kid and being able to ride one now is quite overwhelming for me and i love it.
Rita me and mark cant’ have any passengers for now until we become more experienced. Good luck trying to convince ur dad though! It would be great if it works out.
Marzouq I’m looking forward to riding with u buddy, U’re the reason we bought our bike in the first place! Yalla see u definitely next friday..
Who would want to be a passenger behind me with my riding record anyway lol
I do, i will make sure to have an insurance anyway *CHA-CHING*
Nat is really a good rider. She was confident and there is nothing to worry about her, she can manage to ride alone maybe next time.
Good job Nat, it was pleasant to ride with you friday morning.
Awesome!! back where i come from , gals riding bikes is a norm but here in Kuwait most will view it as “haram” well fuck them, they can pucker up my hairy ass n kiss it..!!
Keep riding gurl ,Good job….. U ROCK!!!
” \m/ ” Keep rocking…!
forgot to add this :D
Lol, well yeah I most definitely will SOS!
Oh and Im glad I didn’t embarasse myself Marwan, hehe. It was a pleasure for me as well:) Looking forward for the next time..
we’ll get better pictures next time…
Mark: I did not say behind you. Definitely behind Nat. I don’t want to be sitting with a geek looking dude.

KHALA9! It’s time to start a bloggers biker’s chapter!
RaZ very true. I know a Kuwaiti lady who used to drive a harley in Kuwait 10 years ago!! So, if 10 years ago Kuwaiti women would ride bikes, than I am sure they do now.
Rampurple i wouldn’t recommend you getting behind Mark either, hehe.
yeah i know of a few girls who ride ducatis.. you see them around every once in a while! They come out!
