Biker dies in crash while test riding new motorcycle

UAE's biking community is mourning the loss of one of its beloved members, Sayed Omar Rizvi, who tragically passed away in a motorcycle crash on Thursday.
“We lost not just a passionate biker, but a remarkable soul,” said Mirza Khud, founder of Pakistan Riders Group. “One of our most active members, Omar (Rizvi), was a wonderful person — full of warmth and spirit. His death leaves a void that cannot be filled.”
The 45-year-old Pakistani expatriate is survived by his wife, 18-year-old son and 14-year-old daughter.
Rizvi had taken delivery of a brand-new motorcycle on April 23 and gone for a test ride on the Khorfakkan highway, where his bike reportedly skidded on road debris, causing a fatal crash. He was rushed to Sharjah’s Al Dhaid Hospital but succumbed to injuries the following morning.
