Better deals are during summer when bikers kind of hibernate. Dukes are also cheap (relatively) if you'r...

Trackdays, yours for 600-900dhs per day session and regularly organized. Location.. normally Dubai autodrome (nice track).

That would depend if your Int Lic has the motorcycle option ticked. Also I believe you would have to be above 21yrs. And the rental agency should allow....But I am not 100% sure about this!! I am well above 21 yrs :D so I guess thats taken care of. I will get the international license done this wee...

There is a built-in security chip for each passport and when i go back to Malaysia, it works like the E-gate where i put the passport into a machine and it gets scanned. Don't stick it together then...just have the old one with ...

"fun" has special meaning on this forum so be careful!

Marina is a good place also.

Fun.....as in whatever is fun to do . So, what's the special meaning in this forum???

Apologies for the earlier double posting.
