4th Abdali gathering
last Friday i went to the 4th Abdali gathering, the event was organized by both Ducati Club and BMW Motorcycle Club for club members, family, and kids…bikes and cars gathered at the Green Island parking and from there they headed to one of the club members farm in Abdali.
It was a fun day for all, getting together, playing games, and barbecuing.
Noise for a cause
DAR AL SHIFA Hospital and Kuwait BMW Motorcycle Club are organizing the second Ride to save event, bikers will gather at Shiik Resort @ 2:30 p.m. then head off to DAR AL SHIFA Hospital to donate blood.
Get your bikes and make some noise for a good cause.
Now at TriStar
The new BMW K1300S, they got 2 yesterday.. the orange one did not even make it to the showroom -sold-!!! …oh and believe me this bike can vomit on the fastest bikes around.
Test Riding Day
I went to Al Corniche Club today to visit the TriStar guys and to test ride some of the bikes they had, the weather was nice and the event was well organized, a lot of bikers showed up..it was like a bikers’ gathering…some female bikers were also there.
We have ridden almost all the bikes they had there, then ended up riding each other bikes….it was a like a bike orgy.
Miss Lebanon Emigrant of Kuwait happened to be there and was in her Halloween costume which matched the colors of my bike. Read more

Optimate™ 3+ Desulfating Battery Charger
I haven’t been riding my bikes this summer, i was either traveling or the weather is too hot to ride…i think more than 4 month have past since i last started them up…that made the batteries really weak, but they were still able to crank the engine, so i figured if i don’t do something about it really quick they will probably die and have to change them.
So i went and bought the Optimate 3+ battery charger, the charger comes with a Ducati adapter and i bought an extra adapter for the BMW, it verify, tests, and confirms whether the battery can retain sufficient charge to crank the engine, it applies ‘first aid’ for up to 2 hours, to recover the battery so it can again accept charge…then it engages the long term maintenance mode, it “floats & tests” 30 minutes on, 30 minutes off, so the battery is always 100% ready, but never overcharged.
I hooked it to the BMW and left over night to charge, the next morning i went to check it just to find out that the cleaners decided to hose the parking and that my Optimate 3+ was completely wet…it was actually swimming in a small pool of water but still working!! i unplugged it and went to read the manual to check what could be done…to my surprise the thing turns out water broof!!
Lesson learned: always read the manual before operating anything no matter how silly you may think it is.
