Default H-D of United Arab Emirates (Dubai)

Made the obligatory T-shirt stop today in Dubai on my way to Iraq. They have a small dealership on Zayed Rd. T-shirt prices were about the same as USA.

Pretty crazy though...Dubai.

I had seen someone wearing a harley shirt that was from Fallujah, Iraq. I don't know if it was real or not but just as fun

Thanks for your service! There is a big market overseas still for all things Harley. If I remember correctly, overseas sales were only down like 4% for Harley.

Thanks for your service.

I just read an article in my NRA magazine about the King of ****** vacationing in the US doing a cross country tour on a Harley. The picture looked like he was on a Road King. Wonder if the Fly and Ride program works overseas.

Spent 6 months in the UAE and was surprised to see a decent number of HD riders. Lots of long stretches of open road, good one to take is the trip up to Fujairah right by the Gulf of Oman.

Co-worker bought shirts, for those of us that paid for them, for "Harley Davidson of Kuwait" at the PX while serving there about three years ago. Only HD tee shirt I have that was . . . . . . .







Made in the USA.

There is a lot of custom shirts that say Harley Davdison of Iraq and others, but most of them are custom shirts or someone made them without HD endorsement. I was in Iraq all over the country for 13 months, Kuwait and Qatar. They all had HD shirts, but none of them had dealers lol.

I got one from the dealer in Doha, Qatar. They had three bikes and were all a year or two old.
