Every massive convoy and cross-border groups has to start somewhere. For Tambutso Riders, the United Arab Emirates is the birthplace, the roots, and the absolute beating heart of our community. But the real story behind our founding goes back to a time when the world was standing still. During the height of the COVID-19 restrictions, our founder, Dennis, alongside a tight-knit core of close friends, off-road enthusiasts, and cycling buddies, decided they weren't going to let the trying times lock them down completely. They turned to motorcycles as a way to safely travel, catch some wind, and continue enjoying the stunning landscapes of the country when everything else was closed off. From a small lockdown escape crew to a massive international pack, this is our legacy. A massive salute to Dennis and the pioneer members who planted the flag and set the pace for everything to come!
