CHAPTER ZERO
OUR STORY
"We didn't start a club. We formalized a brotherhood that already existed on the road."
June 2021 · Jamming at Moto Rauch & Staub
2021
THE FIRST SPARK
In January 2021, seven riders in Dubai decided to make it official. What had been an informal riding group became The Chosen Ones MC — founded by Andrew Bailey, Oussama Charabeh, Hamid Dehzad, Roni Haddad, Ateef Hyder, Terry Kane, and Seif Moueilhi. These are The First 7.
There was no grand plan. Just bikes, trust, and a shared belief that the UAE's roads deserved to be ridden properly — together, safely, and with pride. Some nights the bikes stayed parked and the guitars came out.

SHOWING THE COLOURS
By September the crew had grown enough to fill a photo — and to stand behind its own banner. ALWAYS EARNED. ALWAYS CHOSEN.
November 2021 · Ride to the Hilton, Ras Al Khaimah
NOVEMBER 2021
THE ROAD TO RAS AL KHAIMAH
In November 2021 the club rode north to the Hilton in Ras Al Khaimah. More riders, more patches, and a day that showed what the club could become.

2021–2022
FORGING THE PATCH
The patch came next. Twin skulls on a spade — one with wings, one with a cape. CHOSEN ONES across the top rocker. UNITED ARAB EMIRATES across the bottom. MC tab to the right. Orange border, black panel, white detail.
Wearing the colors became mandatory on every official ride. Not a rule — a privilege. The patch means you earned your place on the road.

MILES THAT BUILT US
The club grew steadily through 2022 and 2023 — new riders from Egypt, the Netherlands, Syria, Palestine, Australia, and beyond. Every member brought their story. Every ride added to ours.
We crossed into Oman, ran desert expeditions to Liwa, switchback rides through Khor Fakkan, and sunrise runs from Al Qudra. The kilometres added up. So did the bonds.
February 2023 · Fujairah mountains
2023
ACROSS THE EMIRATES
Mountain passes in Fujairah, classic cars in Sharjah. The rides reached every corner of the Emirates, and the stops along the way became stories of their own.
February 2022 · A night meet-up, colours raised
NOW
TODAY & THE ROAD AHEAD
Today Chosen Ones MC rides every Wednesday and Saturday across the Emirates. We run charity rides, welcome new riders through a structured membership process, and represent the UAE on every road we touch. The patch is still earned, never given. And the road isn't finished with us yet.
