There are quite a few riders in Jeddah, all sorts (SBKs, Harleys, Beemers).

Contact a certain "haroon" on advrider.com He is a regular rider and posts on the forum, but i'm not sure if he is a member here on HUBB.

let me know if you need further help.

well, saudi is infamous for the arrogant/careless driving style all over the middle-east and jeddah seems to be no exception to it, though i would rank Riyadh the worst, Jeddah a close second and Al-Khobar the best by far.

cheers and good luck

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.
