A Dubai-based GenX BMW GS rider documenting UAE roads, gear, and the philosophy of motorcycling after 50.
Three bikes, a 3:30 alarm and 130 km in the dark to reach Al Suhub before sunrise. Both Burrito Brothers passed me in the first tunnel, a couple of hundred people beat us to the top, and the view was a cloud.
I'm Mir — GenX rider, content creator, and the guy behind MotoMoku. Together with my rescue cat Moku and my BMW R1250 GS Adventure Manchalee (a.k.a. the second wife), I share life, laughter, and lessons from riding across the UAE and beyond.
This is where gears grind, years fly, and GenX fears get a throttle twist. Whether you're here for the bike stories or the midlife reflections — you're in the right place.

And the servicing — the expense every rider warned me about — has cost me nothing at all.

Dubai-based, BMW R1250 GS Adventure rider. Middle-aged, GenX, fearless on two wheels. Corporate suit by day, road philosopher by sunrise. Late bloomer — and proud of it.
Rescue cat turned reluctant influencer. Chief Nap Officer. Perched on Manchalee's seat with an air of permanent judgment. Every MotoMoku decision requires his purr-approval.
Steel with feelings. A $30,000 diva with torque, attitude, and curves. Named after the Urdu word for "free-spirited girl" — adventurous, high-maintenance, and always dressed in black.
