Plus for fun factor, no point, new city so roads are straight in the main, no hills or twisties, need to go a long way for that. Did a bit of rallying near Oman and quad biking, think that fits the place better.

I'd personally give it a miss having experienced the driving out there that I have.

Not sure if they've got a race track yet but that'd be worthwhile, guaranteed weather and decent surface.

Cheers, yeah they do have a track, there's alot of racing from what i gather. Might be the way to go, get a track bike perhaps..

Re: Motorcycling in Dubai?

Definitely. One thing I didn't make quite clear is the traffic. Rush hour is the worst I've ever seen (inc London) in the busy areas, even to the extent that 5 lane highways are rendered useless.
