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
