EUROPE'S LARGEST MOTORCYCLE FESTIVAL IS BACK TO IT'S OLD GLOSS 

Thousands of fans celebrated the Harley-Davidson® lifestyle at European Bike Week 2022 

FAAK AM SEE, September 14, 2022 - For the 23rd time, Harley-Davidson celebrated Europe's largest motorcycle festival on the sunny south side of the Alps in the Austrian state of Carinthia:

The European Bike Week® took place in Faak am See from September 6th to 11th. Around 80,000 people and more than 50,000 motorcycles flocked to the town to celebrate Harley-Davidson® and the motorcycle lifestyle in a breathtaking alpine setting. This year's guest of honor was Bill Davidson, Director of the Harley-Davidson Museum™ and Vice President of Harley-Davidson® Motor Company. Bill is the great-grandson of William A. Davidson, one of the company's founding fathers.  

The centerpiece of the event, which had no entry fee, was the Harley® Village – a 40,000 m2 site where motorcycles lined the streets day and night as far as the eye could see. Fourteen Harley-Davidson® authorized dealers from all over Europe and numerous independent traders presented motorcycles, accessories and clothing, and more than 30 bands rocked two stages.

The cult brand's latest motorcycles were presented at the HD® EXPO, including the latest model in the Icons Collection, the Low Rider® El Diablo, which was launched on September 1st and is limited to just 1,500 units worldwide. Opposite the EXPO, Ford, the automotive partner of the European Bike Week, exhibited the new Bronco, the Mustang and even a Police Mustang. The new Revolution Max Experience and the new Adventure Experience were also offered in the almost permanently fully booked Demo Ride Zone, where the 2022 Harley models were available for test rides.

The route of both experience tours was perfectly tailored to the respective models and the adventure experience included off-road training on the Pan America™ 1250 by Bosnia Rally participant Ralf Wiesenfeller and Dakar legend Mick Extance. 

Müller Motorcycles Hydro Clutch

Also new this year was the EV Zone, where the LiveWire™ ONE and the Serial 1 e-bikes could be test driven and where Ford presented the Mustang Mach-E and the electrically powered Transit. The latter even served as a charging station for a LiveWire™.  

The custom bike show sponsored by Metzeler took place in the customizer area on Friday. 

Around 40 custom-built motorcycles were entered in six categories, with awards given for “Best in Category”, “Best in Show” and “People's Choice”. “Best in Show” went to Mirko Perugini from Italy, who took home a custom-painted Harley-Davidson® tank and a set of Metzeler tires as a trophy. Around 10,000 motorcyclists took part in the parade around Lake Ossiach and through Villach on Saturday - cheered by a large number of locals.

On Saturday evening, Karin Serraino, the lucky winner of the big Harley-Davidson competition, received a brand new Pan America™ 1250 Special. You could also win tickets to the Harley-Davidson® 120th Anniversary Festival in Budapest, Hungary, which will take place from June 22nd to 25th, 2023.   

The European Bike Week will return to Faak am See from September 5th to 10th, 2023.

The Harley-Davidson Motodrom program in Klagenfurt, for the European Bike Week 2022

Start is on Saturday, September 3rd, 2022 - closed on Sunday, September 4th and 11th, 2022. The other days everything is on GO!

Despite the restrictions last year, things went off at the Harley-Davidson Motodrom in Klagenfurt. There were a few exhibitors and live bands every day. That should be repeated this year, everything you need for a cozy party is there.

The range in the Harley-Davidson store at Motodrom has been replenished especially for European Bike Week . In the restaurant, where there are delicious things from the grill, there is also no shortage of coffee and cake, which I have become a little addicted to over the last year.

It's definitely worth taking a trip to the dealer in Klagenfurt as part of the European Bike Week.

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.

Ford is a Harley-Davidson partner at Lake Faaker See for the first time

To the left of the HD Expo is Ford, as a new partner of Harley-Davidson with its current pick-up models Raptor and Ranger, the e-theme is served with the Mustang Mach3. The brand new Ford Bronco is to be presented at Lake Faak.

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.

The planning for European Bike Week is currently on hold, of course it ultimately depends on the Austrian government. If there is still a risk of increased infection in September, Harley-Davidson itself will not take any risks for everyone involved.

But things are looking good so far, between all the sad Harley event cancellations or postponements.

You can also find T-shirts from the 2019 event in the shop, including a Willie G. T-shirt. The description says something about skull print, but the logo is different, so it will be a surprise what will actually be found in the package.


EURO FESTIVAL ST. TROPEZ 2020

The event is canceled, which is really sad, but it looks like there are still official Euro Festival T-shirts to order, it's worth a try, I'm not a fan of event shirts that I haven't been to myself, but that would now be pure support. It really wouldn't be nice if we didn't have all of these cool Harley-Davidson events, tours and destinations in the world.

The Euro Festival in particular should be organized again this year with a new concept. The location is a dream, the climate and the beautiful routes in the area are particularly suitable for motorcyclists. Beautiful curves and great nature are worth exploring at least once on the Harley. It's best not just to order a T-shirt, but to see next spring whether there's still room in the tour calendar.


EUROPEAN HOG Rally 2020

It is what it is, the event in Slovenia is already canceled, but Harley-Davidson has produced t-shirts for the HOG Rally 2020 in Portoroz.

T-shirts from an official Harley-Davidson event that didn't even take place, that's something strange, I could imagine that they could be in demand among Harley T-shirt hunters. It will take place next year, and there will certainly be a T-shirt and other merchandise from 2021.

The event won't take place in 2020, but the t-shirts are available!

So far I haven't been that far down in Slovenia, although I've ridden a Harley in the country, but those were only day trips. The route to Portoroz and the town itself are certainly worth a trip. It's all the better that we can at least register the date for 2021. You can find all the important information in the Harleysite event calendar.
