New laws limiting bike ownership in Saudi?

Hi

I'm looking to buy a second bike in Saudi but have been informed that the law has been changed very recently and now restricts ex-pats to one registered bike only.

Does anybody know anything more about this?

Thanks

One of Bin Ridins tribe.

Hey Ric, hows life treating ya ?

I've heard of this rule from a few years ago and also personally seen a guy here in khobar owning 4 bikes inspite of being quoted this rule at the time of bike purchase/registration.

I have even heard people (mostly non motorcyclists) talking about rules which forbid ex-pats owning bikes in saudi, but thats not the case right ?

worry not, go ahead and get the bike u lucky bugger. which one is it btw ?

Still ducking and diving Vik. I've found out a bit more about this law.. it's for real and was introduced a couple of weeks ago. Prior to this the limit was two bikes, although this wasn't strictly enforced. I think they have limited ex-pat car ownership too.

The HD dealer says the Police won't register a second bike in your name any more.

I can't see the sense in it myself.. just acts as a restriction on the local economy. I was hoping to pick this one up at a good price. 2000 miles, 2006 model. Good bike for the big ride back. Hopefully find a way..
