It’s always a great feeling to meet someone you know especially more so when you are really far away from home and your country. This is truer especially if it’s a Bullet lover and from your own Bullet club.
For the unfamiliar, Well Ayush has been in our club prior to it being renamed as SB and he used to ride a black colored jap-crap (its also available in yellow so I guess you know which bike he was riding ;-) .
He’s been here in the Middle East(Dubai) since 2004 December, when he gave us a fly-off party at a Vellayambalam – Swiss cafĂ©. The party was a memorable one…old SBians may recall Jay, Sreejith,Varghese ..and a few others.
It was great catching up with him in Sharjah. Now he really needs a Bullet for his size.
Naturally a Bullet discussion came up and he has agreed to catch the 500cc guy who has an RE in Sharjah. Its very easy also to import an RE here according to Ayush. He said he would find out details. We hope to have more dope on the RE out here.
Another things guys… Im really happy that no one is using the Bullet here to deliver pizza – and no one uses the Harley for that too ( Well we discover some common class in two classic bikes again!)
In the brief meeting we had, we thought as long as we are hanging out here we could help out any Bulleteers riding out here (slim chance probably … but you can never say!), or visiting this side of the globe – and so we launched an SB presence here.
Silver Bullets – UAE
It’s just to share our passion and joy of riding the Bullet. If you are a true Royal Enfield Bullet guy …there’s pals for you in the desert too dude.
Thump on.

:)... cool Ayush & BT, SB UAE
ReplyDeletehey BT, i was riding the Karizma Man !Red one.well i love the black from Varghese.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, nothing can be compared to the bullet.
For your info, there are few bulleteers in UAE.I sight them once in a while.Mostly they ride solo, cool and with panache.I have seen people stare at them with astonishment!A few of them are owned by British Expats.
More over, to import a bike or a car here is very simple. No Taxes in the first place. Your vehicle needs to pass the Mechanical test conducted by Dubai/Abu Dhabi Police.They will check two things for sure: The accelaration and braking of the vehicle.
Recently one guy had his BMW R 1150 sent back coz it was modified extremely:too much torque.The Police car/Bike cannot catch it in the event of a chase !They use the Yamaha FJR/Honda 1100/BMW 545i/Merc E 320.Prado/Nissan Patherfinder are also used sometimes.I will try to get a snap.(need to take permission from the officer first)
BTW, why should we be confined to Silver Bullets, U.A.E, we should think broad.Think Silver bullets Middle East.
That covers U.A.E, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Yemen.(7 Countries put together are bigger than one.)
Last but not the least, we should have Two-Wheeler license first.Then we can think forward.I wanted to get one first, then the enthusiasm died away.Now, with BT in Abu Dhabi(150 Kms away, better than 4000 Kms anyway) i am very much inspired.Let's DO IT !
