I hadn't seen that before. thanks. Sadly I will only have 1 or maybe 2 more trips to Israel. I wanted to do some riding there, but never was able to secure a bike, and preferably someone to ride with. When I'm there, I only have one day, so it's hard to get it all in.
I attach a link to an article (in Hebrew) that appeared on a popular Israeli motorcycle website named fullgaz. It lists all current available options for scooter/ bike rental in Israel (dated to beginning of February 2010): http://www.fullgaz.co.il/xpages/article.php?i=47385 I've attached it although it is in Hebrew, as in most cases a question about that topic will be answered by an Israeli forum member, so this information might come in handy. Cheers and ride safe, Keyboard Rider
Someone tried to steal my bike and bent up the front end :eek1 I won't be riding let alone renting it out for a while
Keyboard, thanks for that info. I'll be in Yerushalayim all of July. Figured I'd do without a ride for a month, but this gives me something to think about.
Motorcycle tours in Jordan: http://www.jordanbeauty.com/Motorcycles.html UK ADVrider Simon didn't have any trouble taking his UK registered bike into and out of Syria and Jordan. http://www.advrider.com/forums/showt...=348283&page=5 Neither did the two blokes with two Transalps and a stuffed pink pig. http://www.endurocu.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=8137#113719
Shalom! We where late May my wife and I with Suzuki V-strom DL650 in Israel eight beautifull days. We visited : Tiberias, Capernaum, Tabgha, Mt.Hermon, Dead Sea, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Megiddo, Cesarea, Mt.Tabor, Yardenit-Deganiya, Haifa... Because of some stamps for motorbike in passport, we had go back from the Syrian border via Jordan in Israel. In Croatia we returned by boat (V-strom) Haifa-Piraeus(GR), Irena and I with the plane, you are hereby specially thank Mr.Berger from Tiberias(Berger-Hotel), Mr.Haddad from Haifa( Haddad Guest House) and Mrs. Alicia Rosner from Haifa ( Rosenfeld Shiping Company), to assist in the implementation return. Branko from Croatia.
If there is a KTM dealer there I would assume there is some offroad riding available. Curious as I have been offered a job in T-A for 1 year and being a dirt bike junkie would need my regular fix.

Or you could try PMing him here. Link About the registered, roadworthy bike thing - yes, it is true, but the indicators, horn, lights and so on only have to be on when the bike is having its yearly check, once you are out of the shop so long as you trailer it to your ride you can keep it as you like.
Israel has its down sides, no doubt about it. Nevertheless, it is an offroader paradise! Unlike Europe and parts of the US, most of the land is public and open for bikes and 4X4s.
