Today’s newspapers had a story about a innocent KTV2 reporter getting beatup by a gang of Harley Davidson Bikers. While the storyline was far more interesting then most of KTV2’s current content; I found it to be a bit unbelievable (and biased). Which leads us to ask why would a group of Bikers pull the guy aside and beat him up? (other than watching Wild Hogs a few too many times).
Doing the job that the newspapers should have done .. We decided to speak to the Safety Officer of H.O.G-Kuwait (Harley-Davidson Organization Group), Khalid Abu Jabieen.
The other side of the story (as described by Khalid and 30 odd members of H.O.G), Is that the KTV2 reporter was invited to film them on their weekly drive, and do a story about bikers in Kuwait. The reporter, who showed up by himself, decided to take up the various jobs of full TV crew (cameraman, Driver, Producer) on his own. Between juggling driving the car and recording video, he managed to cause several traffic jams and piss off a few of the drivers and bikers on the road. One thing led to another and one of the drivers (not a member of H.O.G) pulled him over, which then led to a fight. The Harley Davidson Bikers, trying to recover whats left of a ruined day, broke up the fight and continued on their way.

Shit, that sounds like a Jim Carrey movie – call it REPORTER! REPORTER! – the comic possibilities are endless.
In Kuwait fact is stranger than fiction.
My bigger concern is who’s the reporter in question?
I don’t know what that idiot was thinking, but its a total lie and now I want to have a nice sit down with him!
Is his name Tarek by any chance? This is hilarious.
Also the article just says KTV so it might be from KTV 1 since KTV 2 doesn’t even have a big enough budget to do outside shows.
I read the news story today and it made no sense whatsoever. Why would the bikers beat up a guy whom they allowed to film them? This guy is apprarently an unprofessional a**hole who had it coming. KTV should be dismanteled, it’s a waste of time and money.
Good luck
Actually the driver of the car is a HOG member, I cant beleive the press in this country they blew the story out of proportions. Is this the type of propaganda that bikers need and I quote Al-Seyasah “The 11 members joined in the beating frenzing leaving the poor bloke helplessly lying in a pool of blood” The guy tried to kick my buddy he told him to beat it, he came back agressively, so he got a blue eye, big deal!!! What a cry baby, he went running to the police station ( the newspaper stated that we bailed out! yeah right), No harm was done, this kid had a bruised ego and just wanted to take it out on the HD riders. The funny part no one checked the facts goes to show that its a one sided propaganda, and now they are asking for legal action should be taken against the Harley Gang. Gang!! someone has been watching Hells Angels movies, for fuck sake bikers are loosing their lives due to reckless driver and no one cares, but a bruised ego and everyone threatens with legal action. Wake the Fuck up!!!
they beat him up because he multi task? those old 40 something bikers need someone to tell them they need to be on Prozac instead of bikes ,thats Kuwait wild hogs for ya!
Listen up Damon, I appreciate you get the facts straight. The guy swerved on to my buddy’s lane twice putting him and other people in Danger. When he was forced to stop, he was screaming and cursing, that he is reporter, fucken hey! Does this give you the rights to endanger people life. Thats why he got a well deserved beating.
hahaha when bories collide

Speaking directly from personal experience, I have met this entire group on several occassions and they are always respectful and courteous; not only off their bikes, but on the road as well. These guys are “weekend warriors” – guys who work in banks and with responsible desk jobs; not exactly East Coast Mo Fo’s or Hell’s Angels. My gut is that the reporter (and the reports) are inaccurate.
Hellraiser, just as the reporter does not have the right to endanger people’s lives, you guys don’t have the right to beat him. What happened with reporting this incident to the police in the first place?
pathetic
Explorer, they was never a WE, it was one group member that pulled him to the side of the road to discuss the matter with him, the so called multi tasking 26 year reporter was enranged an not knowing that the guy who pulled him over was part of the group, thought that he could act like Iron Mike, thinking that the Harley riders will support him. You are right the matter could have been reported, however when a person starts kicking as a first sign of reaction I guess fists will fly and that one hit the spot.
so what’s his name , i watch ktv2 “shamefully”
sorry but i love bad tv
Once again… KTV sends out one of their own – unpaid for the last 3 months – “reporters” to do a job that actually costs more than the KD 25 they probably allocated him
Fucking 4th world mentality!
The guy is something al-Mari. I think his name is abdul-Rahman or maybe Mohamad but he’s a Mari. He deserves what he got due to his idiocity.
KTV presenters !!! Somebody do something about this guy presenting “Spotlight on Sports”. I fear he will take over the whole of KTV2. He is so repetitive in his presentation. He definitely got the job thru “Wastha” or he works for free. Maybe he is trying his best, but after almost 10 years ?!!!! Man thats no excuse. They dont complete the highlights and sometims show some wasted sports which no1 wants to see anyway ! As for the other lady who presents the “Onscreen” show, I’ll let you know once she stops her Fatally Fake smiling !!!
