There hasn't really been a decision in Russia yet, but according to Harleysite information there are still new infections in the country, unfortunately there is no more information about this.

The new expected date is August 21-23, 2020
Of course it's annoying that the Harley Days Hamburg is being postponed, but it's better to postpone it than cancel it!

CORONAVIRUS CURRENTLY – CAN I STILL RIDE A MOTORCYCLE?
Coronavirus – Current situation and further information about Harley-Davidson and what is still possible or not!
Due to the current situation, this post will be regularly updated with new information about everything Harley-Davidson!
It is currently becoming apparent that the Corona virus is spreading and we have to be prepared for everything possible. For some events it is still too early to make a clear statement, others have already been affected, or the situation is currently uncertain.
MESSAGE FROM SATURDAY April 4th, 2020
Motorcycling is not forbidden everywhere, as long as it is not a motorcycle trip.
Can I still ride a motorcycle is currently one of the most discussed topics on social media. The most important thing is that before you set off on a motorcycle for a tourist event or for leisure purposes, you should inform yourself about your area. You can find the current status of the situation on the social media platforms of the respective police districts in your region.
The regulations in Bavaria and Saxony are strict!
The situation is more severe in Bavaria and Saxony, where there is an exit restriction. As a means of transport it is equivalent to a car, although motorcycle trips are prohibited in Bavaria. The police will check it and, depending on what they see, act accordingly.
In Schleswig-Holstein, for example, there is an entry ban; anyone who wants to come to the country for tourism or leisure purposes may be stopped. For Schleswig-Holsteiners, motorcycling is permitted, but common sense is urged not to do so.
Post by the Kiel Police from April 3rd, 2020 on Facebook
This also applies to motorcyclists who can move alone on the streets without having contact with other people, but should avoid leisure trips out of solidarity and consideration. It is not forbidden to ride a motorcycle alone - even in times of Corona. The start of the motorcycle season should still be postponed in order to continue to minimize the risk of infection and to avoid accidents and associated operations. Link on Facebook
Avoid motorcycle meeting places!
You should especially avoid stopping at regional motorcycle meeting points. At some meeting points you will find restaurants where you usually get your coffee. The problem is, if there are gatherings at these places, the authorities will take action and control them, if necessary blocking the parking spaces completely. That might be even worse for your meeting place than missing out on Sunday's income for a few weeks.
If you ride a motorcycle alone, it's not the problem, it only becomes complicated when you're in a group. Anyone who rides their bike to work, goes shopping, or wants to take it to the workshop will be able to do that. The Harley-Davidson workshops are also accessible and continue to work.
Conclusion: Driving is possible, but you should avoid going on excursions! All you can do is appeal to common sense, how quickly do you pull your glove under your snotty nose and then maybe grab the gas pump at the gas station , the next person can become infected, or even yourself if things go the other way around!
Stay healthy and use restraint to help the spit disappear as quickly as possible!

The Harley-Davidson events
Wait until April 19, 2020
So far there are no further decisions about the big Harley-Davidson events, we still have to wait and see. The current event ban applies until April 19, 2020, and no further decision is expected before this date. The situation will then be reassessed, for example on Sylt the island is still closed. As soon as the situation with the virus is defused again, the situation will change again.
Magic Bike Week, for example, will not make a decision before April 19th, other organizers see it similarly. The coronavirus will peak at some point, and once that is over, the situation will quickly return to normal! That's why it's even more important not to ride a motorcycle for the next 14 days and, in the interest of everyone, to stick to the general advice.
MESSAGE FROM THURSDAY 03/19/2020
Harley-Davidson is stopping production in the USA until March 29th.

The islands to the north are now what they are, an island.
Now the reports are coming in quick succession. The islands in Schleswig Holstein will be cordoned off from 6:00 a.m. on Monday morning. The border with Denmark is closed to tourist traffic on both sides. We haven't experienced anything like this before, we can only keep our fingers crossed that the horror will be over in four weeks at the latest. If it stays like this for longer, things will be tight for the Super Rally and the Summertime Party.
Let's stick to the simplest rules and stay at home for now!

UPDATE ON LOCATION AND RECOMMENDATION
In Schleswig-Holstein, all events were banned from Sunday and Sylt is well known in Schleswig-Holstein . However, there is still some time until Pentecost. Just keep calm and wait a while. If you don't have a free cancellation option for your accommodation, you should probably talk to your accommodation and see how they handle it. It's a special situation and panicking doesn't help at all. By mid-April the world could look completely different again. Think positive and keep calm! Best time to clean the Harley in peace.

Update on the Super Rally
UPDATE SA. March 14, 2020
DENMARK CLOSES THE BORDER
Denmark closed its borders on March 14th. Closed in 2020, that was already to be expected.
The situation will not ease before mid-April. Denmark generally takes its border protection very seriously and is a transit country on the way to the Super Rally. Recommendation is to wait and see! In contrast to Italy, we are about 10 days behind in the north and can hope that towards the end, the further north you are, the situation will not be so extreme.
NOTIFICATION FROM FRIDAY 03/13/2020
Summertime Party Sylt 2020
In Schleswig-Holstein, events with more than 1,000 people are now prohibited until April 10th. This would not affect the Summertime Party so far. The organizer is in close contact with the authorities; at the moment it looks like the situation will be reassessed from April 10th.
MESSAGE FROM THURSDAY 03/12/2020
Summertime Party Sylt 2020
The Summertime Party will take place on the island of Sylt from June 5th to 7th. The problem with this event would be Friday, when there is a celebration in the Kursaal. The event on Friday in the Kursaal is currently sold out; the restrictions currently apply to groups of 1,000 people or more. Registration for the party has already closed and far fewer than 1,000 guests are expected at the event.
As things stand today, the situation is as follows:
The organizer contacted the Harleysite today and announced that the event should take place as planned. If the situation worsens, information will be provided immediately!

SUPER RALLY 2020 SWEDEN
The Super Rally is shaking!
The Super Rally is scheduled to take place in Öland Sweden from May 27th to 31st, 2020. Yesterday (March 12th, 2020) the Swedish government issued a regulation banning public gatherings and events until further notice. But that doesn't mean that the event in May has been canceled; the organizer has announced that the regulation can be withdrawn as soon as the situation calms down again.
It is recommended to wait for the next 14 days to see how the situation with the coronavirus develops.
There is a particular question of what happens in Denmark, it would be the transit country for the Super Rally, the borders there are closing very quickly, if the Danes are afraid for their citizens, the bar will fall. It's easier to get into Germany than out. So wait and see!
NOTIFICATION FROM March 12, 2020
Euro Festival Saint Tropez 2020
The situation is similar in France, where public events larger than 5,000 people have been banned. Euro Festival 2020 would also be affected by this at this point in time.
It's also the case here so far that we still have to wait and see, there is no official cancellation of the event, so from that perspective the event is a little different, if you were to leave out the big stage on the beach, you would actually be on a large holiday resort with accommodations.
Harley-Davidson has informed me that if there are any changes, information will be provided immediately. Also wait and see what comes!
NOTIFICATION FROM MARCH 6, 2020
