News about European Bike Week 2022
European Bike Week 2022 is slowly coming ! There are some changes this year, but as previously reported, Harley-Davidson ramp up its presence at Lake Faak again in 2022.
A few fewer exhibitors are expected, but with thirteen Harley-Davidson dealers on site, this is a familiar sight. Nevertheless, they probably have to save money, so this year the main stage has moved to the Harley Bar. The EXPO area with the current Harley-Davidson be found on the former site of the stage.
Harley-Davidson authorized dealer from Germany
Harley-Davidson Fashion Store from Sylt will travel to Lake Faaker See with its wide range of Harley-Davidson products. Harley-Davidson Hamburg, Rhein-Neckar, HD Würzburg and the Harley Factory Group will also be among the German dealers. The Harley Factory Group will bring an unusual bike, or rather a very unusual one!
It would be nice if Harley-Davidson also pulled something out of the hat, the model from the 2022 Icon series is somehow overdue. Last year, Harley-Davidson reported that we could expect a model from the Icon series every year. Although very few people can buy a model from this series, people would still like to see it live and the opportunity at Lake Faaker See would be a good opportunity.

Velden am Wörthersee
Event in Velden will no longer be as we knew it!
A lot is expected to change in Velden this year. According to current information, there will be less going on there, or let's put it this way, they would like to have fewer motor events there in general. We'll have to wait and see, I wouldn't put too much hope that everything will stay the same. According to Harleysite information, the city of Velden am Wörthersee does not provide any public areas to the organizer. Without these spaces, everything actually changes.
It's clear that there are only some private properties with dealer stands, we'll have to see what happens there. The restaurant will be open, so you can still take a detour to Velden. It is not yet known what the new traffic regulations will look like during European Bike Week; the request to the mayor is still ongoing.
