Two high-flying Emirates customers will soon be riding high on the road — after winning these mighty Harley Davidson motorbikes in a contest organised by the airline’s Duty-Free Sales unit.

The bikes were the prize in an in-flight draw open to Emirates fliers spending 500 AED or more on duty-free purchases onboard in August/September and October/November 2002.

The XL883Rs, Motorbikes — the smallest Harleys on the market are built and painted to resemble the legendary XR 750 used by American stuntman Evel Knievel to leap over lines of cars.

The winners are Jam Mashooq Ali, who flew on EK6 from London to Dubai, and Ilias Assimakopoulos, from Reckitt Benckiser Arabia, who flew on EK105 from Dubai to Kuwait.

Bob Ferguson, Emirates’ General Manager Aircraft Catering, who is responsible for duty-free sales, drew the winning entries from the box at Emirates’ Sheikh Zayed Road offices.
