Good Morning Rohdes
Arrived at Rhodes at 7pm….rode for around 50km to a town called Pefkos, spent some time searching for a hotel, showered and went out.
After coming from Marmaris this town feels like a ghost town….its a nice peaceful town but not for us -honeymooners maybe- i think we have to leave tomorrow or we’ll be kicked out. Read more
Good Bye Marmaris
We left Marmaris Friday Afternoon, we were enjoying it too much that we thought if we don’t leave now we will never leave….Its a one and half hour trip by ferry to Rhodes, Greece.
Destination Greece
We were planing this trip of a while and were supposed to leave Kuwait back in July, but we had to postponed it hoping a couple of our friends will be able to join us, but unfortunately they couldn’t and we ended up only 2 -out of 4- me on my K1300R and my friend on his B-King
We left Kuwait Monday 9pm, reached Syria the next day around 5pm, we intended to stay only 2 days in Syria, rest the first day and ride around the next day.
We spent the first day at the pool, then went riding for around 5 hours between the villages in the mountains… we reached 950m elevation, we were literary over the clouds. Read more
A Greek bachelor party
My last night out in Athens was to a rebetiko place called Pinelopi & Mnistires, the restaurant is a fairly small one, the tables were very close to each other and it felt like its one big table and everybody is sitting next to each other like one big party family.
There was a round 60 people in the restaurant, we were 8, and next to us around 20 Athenian women throwing a bachelor party for one of them – well it started that way but after some time the whole restaurant was part of that party-.
Back to reality
Watching all these bikers in Athens riding made miss riding a lot, and wanting to go back to Kuwait to ride my bike…the way motorcyclists ride in Athens is as if they are running away from a volcano, it doesn’t matter if they are ridding a 1300cc bike or just the 50cc delivery scooter…they all ride with an attitude.
Am back in Kuwait now and can’t wait to ride the beast, but unfortunately 2 of my friends crashed a couple of days ago, believe it or not they collided into each other…nothing serious just a couple of cracked rips, a broken arm, and a scare.
The above photo is for a used Desmosedici at a Ducati dealer in Athens with only 600km, they are asking 60000 Euros for it.
