And its from Pakistan of course.

Yousef, thanks for sharing.

Traction control, ABS, quick-shifter, tiptronic semi-automatic transmission, tire pressure sensors, daptive headlights, and electronic suspension are some of the technology fitted on BMW motorcycles…and just when we think there is nothing more to be added, BMW surprises us with another innovation.
Dynamic Damping Control DDC, or in other words Active Suspension….the system has been around for some time and has been used on a lot of cars, but never on a motorcycle. Because the way motorcycle suspension works is a lot more complicated than a car suspension, so the innovation is not in inventing the system but is in adapting it to motorcycles.
The smart suspension will react automatically -on-the-fly- to braking, accelerating, and cornering while taking into account road surfaces and your riding style to make sure you’ve got the perfect suspension setting at all times.

The system takes its data from the bike’s ECU, ABS sensors, spring travel sensors at the forks and shock and from tilt and roll sensors.

Here are a few examples of the adjustments the bike can make:

When the rider gets hard on the gas, the bike automatically activates stronger damping at the rear shock to prevent squat and wheelie effects and help get the power down more effectively. Likewise, as the rider brakes, the front forks receive increased damping to help combat nose-dive and keep the bike stable and ready for corner entry. Damping in these situation is added in proportion to the acceleration and deceleration forces the bike is experiencing, and the added damping is removed as soon as the acceleration or braking conditions disappear.

As a bike leans over, the suspension is gradually firmed up relative to the bike’s lean angle, and this effect loosens off as you approach vertical again. This one seems a little counter-intuitive given that under heavy lean angles, the wheels need to move further than usual to compensate for bumps – but where smooth roads are concerned, this will certainly be a helpful feature.

The bike will also recognize bumpy terrain, be it potholes, ruts, rail crossings and the like. When the front wheel suspension travel sensors detect a bumpy section of road, both front and rear suspension will immediately loosen off to provide the smoothest ride possible over the obstruction.

Arab Riders racing team is Kuwait’s first motorcycle racing team, the guys has been riding motorcycles all their live…they actually don’t remeber when was the first time they rode a motorcycle but what they do remember is that back in 2008 they decided to take their hobby a bit more serious.

I have known Mohamad Al Hadad and Fahad Al Owaish – the 2 guys behind the Arab Riders – for a couple of years and over a cup of coffee we had a serious chat -for a change-, i asked them a couple of questions about the hobby and their recent participation at the Qatar International Road Racing Championship.

Q: How did it all start ?
A: We used to ride with Kuwait BMW Club but our pace was a bit quicker and we wanted to race so with the help of  TriStar we established Kuwait Ducati Club, a club for Ducati owners that like speed as much as we do. Later on we decided to take our adrenaline addiction off the public roads and into a safe environment so we started organizing track days, attending racing classes at California Superbike School and finally last moth we participated at the Qatar International Road Racing Championship. Unfortunately we do not have track in Kuwait so we are chasing track days from Qatar to Dubai to Bahrain and Abu Dhabi.
