What kind of tires you want and what sizes? Maybe there is a plan in Muscat, I've seen a whole stack of MX tires in "my" mecanics workshop. The boys around Muscat MX track are bringing stuff in from Dubai.

Saleh,


Do you know if an expat can take his/her motorcycle out of UAE with the original registration plates ?


I have taken my bike out earlier (to India) using the tourist permit issued by the traffic police but not sure how it would work if one wants to take the motorcycle out permanently.


I've read some reports about the traffic dept. not allowing motorcycles to be taken out of UAE with the original registration plates and insisting that the owner de-registers the motorcycle and installs export plates on it. This would definitely cause issues with the next country of entry no ?


thanks

I guess my query was not very clear. Apologies for that. Let me re-phrase the question.


If an expat living in UAE wants to leave the country on a world tour along with his/her motorcycle (permanently), can he do so with the registration plates ? OR does he/she have to de-register the motorcycle, install Export plates and then leave the country ?


Is there any way to leave with the original registration plates (not Export plates) ?


cheers

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
