- Europe's biggest city motorcycle event

(Neu-Isenburg, 26.04.2018) The residents are firmly convinced that there is no more beautiful place on earth than their Hamburg. There is no doubt that the Hanseatic city has a unique atmosphere, characterized by the contrast between neighbourhood and culture, huge pots and tiny barges, posh pepper sacks and down-to-earth Pauli fans. There really is always something going on here.

Since 2003, this has been especially true when thousands of Harleys cruise past the magnificent backdrop of the Speicherstadt and Michel. Back then, the Bikerfete was organized as a party to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Harley-Davidson into being. One year later, it established itself under the name Hamburg Harley Days and became Europe's largest city motorcycle event. 2018 will be celebrated from 22 to 24 June and the organizers are announcing the 115th anniversary of Harley-Davidson, des 35. Geburtstags der Harley Owners Group und des 15. Geburtstags der Hamburg Harley Days mächtig Gas.

Rund 40.000 Quadratmeter nimmt das Herz des Events – die Zeltstadt Harley Village am Großmarkt – ein, wo schlichtweg alles aufgefahren wird, was den Biker-Lifestyle ausmacht: Motorräder, Zubehör, Fashion und jede Menge Entertainment. Hier können die aktuellen Harley-Davidson Modelle Probe gefahren werden und hier präsentieren furchtlose Motorradartisten ihr Können in der hölzernen Steilwand. Zudem haben die Besucher die Qual der Wahl zwischen den vielen Cateringständen. Bei Speis und Trank genießt man dann den Anblick und den Sound der unzähligen Bikes, die über die Main Street durch das Village pilgern. Tief in der Nacht geht es noch auf die Reeperbahn, wo die Side Location der Hamburg Harley Days den Spielbudenplatz in eine angesagte Partymeile verwandelt.

On Saturday, custom fans will be drawn to Mönckebergstraße for the Ride-In Bike Show, where the most beautiful converted bikes will be on display. Highlights like this can even be followed online via livestream on all three days of the event in 2018. An additional treat for fans of customized machines will be the German and Austrian finals of the big „Battle of the Kings“ contest, in which three finalists from each country will compete for the crown of national winner. Soccer fans will also get their money's worth, as they can watch the Saturday World Cup match on a big screen. On all three days, live acts on two stages will keep guests entertained. This year's headliner on the Main Stage is John Diva and the Rockets of Love and promises nothing less than the ultimate eighties rock show with the greatest hits of all time.

There is another highlight to look forward to on Sunday, when the parade starts and thousands of bikers can once again enjoy the beauty of Hamburg on a new route through the city. Admission to the event is of course free and all friends of the Harley lifestyle are very welcome. Further information can be found on the website www.hamburgharleydays.de.
