“Motorcycles, Midlife, and Madness — all on two wheels.”

Gears, Years & GenX Fears

Welcome to MotoMoku — Where Midlife Meets Motorcycle Madness

Hey there, road wanderer. You’ve just rolled into the garage of MotoMoku — part travelogue, part biker diary, part GenX survival story. Whether you ride, dream of riding, or just like watching middle-aged men try to climb sand dunes with a BMW GS and a moody cat — you’re home.

This is where gears grind, years fly, and Gen X fears get a throttle twist.

I’m a middle-aged, motorcycle-riding, YouTube-posting dad based in Dubai, navigating the desert highways and the emotional side streets of midlife. My youngest daughter is about to leave the nest, retirement is approaching, and suddenly, my rides aren’t just about the road — they’re about rediscovery.

I started this blog to share more than ride footage. It’s a place to talk about life after 50, the joy of open roads, the shock of silence at home, and everything in between. Expect moto misadventures, empty-nest philosophy, sunset selfies, and maybe even a few tears behind the helmet.

Whether you’re here for the bike stories or the midlife reflections, I hope you find a piece of your own ride in mine.

Hosted by His Excellency at the Barza Bikers Club in Al-Manama, the 2025 edition brought together hundreds of riders from across the Emirates. From the Sharjah meet-up and police-escorted sunset ride to the royal farm, museum, and one hilarious finale involving a waiter and a tissue — this ride had everything: chrome, camaraderie, and chaos.
