The top reasons recommended by Royal Edge to declare motorbiking as your favorite sport.

Tweet

Royal Edge recommends motorbiking on roads rather than cars because you don't expect them to text while riding... so motorbikers outperform cars on safety. 

Who does not want to beat the congestion and the traffic. Motorbikers have the most flexible option, they usually can wend their way forward. Royal Edge firmly believes that a $6000 Vespa can certainly beat a $161,000 Porsche quite easily.

One could expect to become cozy, for if you like a road passenger you could definitely get closer and definitely be a limelight, you never know you might even be well sought. ;)

Motorcycling in UAE is one of the most popular sports in the winter months, sports biker enthusiasts can find fast country roads, twisty mountain passes and even loads of coastal rides. A lot of humid weather in the summers the official riding season is considered to be from November to March.

Royal Edge recommends having a  motorcycle biker insurance because it is the best way to put your foot forward for a born to ride feel. You get maximum benefits with companies like AXA, they have won the best insurer awards in the Middle East and extended working hours to help riders with their queries. 

You could be independent- if you are mechanically inclined, you could definitely build your own custom bike and become a motorbike buff. Royal Edge recommends this because your passion could earn you good money. Try googling for free softwares to build a motorbike.

According to a research by Tohoku University in Japan, the cognitive mental skills of men aged 40 to 50 increased after riding bikes on regular basis for two months. Riders reported to have felt happier and outperformed other fellow members in work too. Motorbike riding stimulates the brain and trains it to be more alert. Royal Edge recommends this for the younger riders too, the same attributes could be developed for almost everyone!

Riding on your two beloved wheels could bring down the carbon footprint. For the love of God each one of us could certainly play our part.

Royal Edge expects a lot of happy biking taking place after having mentioned the reasons above.

So until next time..

Ride Safely,

The Most Dangerous Roads of our beloved U.A.E.

Tweet

During a meeting held to evaluate the performance of the Dubai Traffic Department in the year 2010 lots of initiatives were taken to reduce the death rate in traffic accidents to zero for 100,000 population by the year 2020. The rate of serious accidents decreased in 2010 compared to 2009 bringing down the traffic death indicator for each 100,000 of the population from 8 to 12.7. The report sounds optimistic but still is a high death toll.

Middle East is the only region in the world where severity of safety is an issue. The fatality record is far worse than lower income countries in terms of traffic accidents. According to the top two motorcycle accident studies (Hurt and MAIDS), a motorcyclist is three times more likely to experience a crash than a four-wheeled motorist. If you are taking the tasty curve too fast you are more likely to be toppled by a car who will be found calling ''I NEVER SAW HIM!!.......

We say this with awe that in the UAE the traffic accidents are responsible for deaths after cardiovascular diseases. The Global Status report confirms the UAE roads to be the deadliest in the world (2011). We believe the sole reason for this is not generally the roads or signage, it is more to do with people who do not adhere to the speed limit laws and exceed their speed limits, usage of mobile phone and not checking their side mirrors while a motorcyclist would be right behind them.

Ther most dangerous road in Dubai is the Emirates Road- especially from National paints towards Dubai. There is no walkway for pedestrians causing a lot of instant deaths.

The other most dangerous is Shaikh Zayed road which has had an alarming number of fatal accidents during recent years.

The following roads should also be driven with caution:

The big junction near Deira City Centre in Dubai connecting the floating bridge and Maktoum Road.

In Abu Dhabi, Intersection of Airport road and Hamdan street.

Sharjah Highway Road.

Al Ain Highway- dangerous maneuver and high speeding.

The three lane roundabout at the entrance to the Internet City next to Dragon mart.

Until then,
Ride Safely,

Royal Edge's all time favourite motorbike movies

Tweet
The Wild One

One of the best classic motorbike movies, Marlin Brondo plays ''Johnny'', leader of the Black Rebels motorbike club (The iconic style of his jacket is known as Marlon Brondo and is still a favorite among riders today). He rides with his gang to town and gets involved with a rival biker gang, here things get out of hand. His love interest in the movie is a local town girl, Mary Murphy. This movie is also famous for a quote where a local girl asks Johnny ''What are you rebelling against Johnny?'', he answers ''Whaddaya got''. Most of the movie clips are present on Youtube. We believe this black and white movie is not going to make anyone disappointed.

Girl on a Motorcycle

A story of an adventerous young beautiful woman who finds freedom on her beloved 2 wheels. It has got gorgeous footage of the European countryside. This action movie gathered a fair deal of attention because of her.

Ghost Rider

A story of a stunt motorcyclist who sells his soul to the Devil to transform to Ghost Rider. Expect a lot of fictional fantasy in the movie and watch Nicholas Cage deliver his favorite quote- ''You can't live with fear''.
