European Bike Week 2013 at Lake Faak

Everything is working, the bikes, the beer, the show...

The weather is always perfect, and you don't need more than one T-shirt in the evening. Like every year, there are plenty of bikes and shows at Lake Faaker See . There are again many very good exhibitors in the Harley Village and also on the Arneitz site who present their bikes and many other things that a biker needs.

A great music program runs through the entire event, whether you want to see the Leningrad Cowboys or string killers like Jimmy Cornett . There's a great party atmosphere and the bikes being driven up are again pure madness. In addition to the new 2014 Harley-Davidson models that are on display at the expo, the bikes that are everywhere are of course a feast for the eyes, every biker's heart goes out there on.

Once again this year there are a noticeable number of ladies on their bikes, the women's quota is obviously being worked on here, we Harley riders are just tolerant, bikes and girls somehow belong together.

There may have been a few fewer Harley fans this year, but that will be connected to the big 110th Anniversary Party all over the world, whether Hamburg , Rome, Daytona, Sturgis or, as just ended in Milwaukee , there were real mega events all around the globe. There are also some new stands around Lake Faak, there is still a spot somewhere where someone can offer something, and the gap between the Harley Village and the Arneitz area will probably close at some point. In any case, the mood in Austria is good, and a few thieves have already been caught trying to steal Harleys in a sprinter.

The police checks are extensive but friendly and have to be so; without them it obviously doesn't work.

The bike show on Friday in the Harley Village was once again well attended, many beautiful bikes were at the start, it's always amazing what ideas some mechanics have.

There is still the bike show in Arneitz on Saturday, we can be excited, the photos from the event will be in the gallery in the next few days.
