Good afternoon does anyone know how easy it is to import motor cross bikes in KSA? Are there any taxes? What about paperwork for a vehicle that is not used on the public roads and insurance for using the bike?

How many proper MX tracks are there around Jubail area or anywhere within commuting distance or is it just playing in the desert?

I don't know about importing, but don't expect any motor sports in this country!  As you said, it will just be playing in the desert.

I have found the Reem track near Riyadh, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reem_International_Circuit does anyone know of any clubs that organise anything in the desert? If riding in the desert do you need the riders and the bikes to be licenced?

Yes I know about Reem, but from what I know, it is mostly a playground for Saudis.  As for dirt bike groups, I am sure they exist, but the hard part in this country is getting info.  Not every group or organization has a website or a known contact person or number, and most activity groups are informal and/or groups of friends.

I would suggest googling furiously for a good hour or so, and calling every number you can find and sending an email to every email address you can find related to desert riding/driving.  Good luck!

Thanks will do that when I have a spare hour or two.
