🏁 The Season Opening Ride Tradition in the UAE
Every year, as the desert air turns cooler, bikers across the UAE gear up for one special event — the Season Opening Ride. It’s the official start of the riding season, and this time it was hosted by His Excellency at the legendary Barza Bikers Club in Al-Manama.
Hundreds of riders from every club and city came together for one royal-scale convoy.
🚦 Gathering at Sharjah — Hundreds of Bikes
The day started around 5 p.m. at our interim meeting point in Sharjah.
Rows upon rows of bikes gleamed in the sun — BMWs, Harleys, Ducatis, and a few custom beasts — all lined up like an army on chrome.
The police gave us a quick briefing: no stunts, no phones, and definitely no funny business.
Of course, we all nodded politely… then immediately reached for our GoPros.
🌅 Riding with a Royal Escort to Barza
When the engines fired up, the air filled with thunder.
Our convoy stretched for miles, escorted by police lights bouncing off the sunset.
It felt cinematic — desert roads, small towns flashing past, the orange sky fading into night.
Every rider kept formation, every throttle twist in sync. It wasn’t just a ride — it was a moving festival on two wheels.
🏍️ Inside Barza Bikers Club — The Royal Farm
By the time we reached Barza Bikers Club, night had fallen.
The farm glowed under string lights, music playing, and laughter echoing through the sand.
Hundreds of bikes parked neatly in the courtyard, with riders chatting, swapping stories, and taking photos under the palm trees.
Inside, His Excellency’s private collection looked like a biker museum — vintage motorcycles, old helmets, shields, patches, trophies, and souvenirs gathered over 40 years. It’s where history meets horsepower.
🕊️ A Tribute to Umar Rizvi
The evening paused for a special moment — a tribute to our late brother Umar Rizvi, who tragically passed away in a motorcycle accident.
His family was invited to receive a shield and memorabilia in his honor.
It was brief but meaningful — a reminder that every ride we take is also a salute to those who can’t ride beside us anymore.
🍗 Dinner at Charsi Restaurant — The Royal Clean-Up!
Then came the part that every biker secretly looks forward to: food.
Our good friend Dr. Qasim (aka Dr. Daddy) looked around and said, “Snacks aren’t dinner, boys. Follow me.”
And like a true convoy of trust, we followed blindly — straight to Charsi Restaurant in Ajman.
Now, don’t be fooled by the name. “Charsi” doesn’t mean what you think — it just describes food so good that you feel sleepy and blissfully satisfied.
We dove into Afghani tikkas, Peshawari karahi, and naans fresh enough to make your diet cry.
And that’s when it happened — hands full of food, sweat pouring, spice levels at maximum — a kind waiter took pity on me and wiped my face!
Yes, that’s the moment you saw in the teaser — the Royal Clean-Up.
👋 Wrapping Up the Season Opening Ride 2025
So that’s how the Season Opening Ride 2025 ended — not with burnout smoke, not with fireworks, but with a tissue.
From the Sharjah lineup to the royal farm, from brotherhood to biryani, it was a ride that had everything: chrome, chaos, and camaraderie.
Until the next one — stay safe, stay shiny, and keep your ride (and your face) clean.
