Hamburg from July 4th to 6th will not be able to let go of the experience so quickly, and the memories of the mega event will likely last for quite a while. Harley Days this year . On three mostly sunny and hot days, around 50,000 motorcycles - most of them of American origin - circled through the city. The feeling: indescribable.

The eye of the hurricane was once again the “Harley Village” at the wholesale market. Bike after bike cruised along Main Street – seeing and being seen was the order of the day. With free entry, people met to talk about petrol, to browse through an extra wide range of bikes, accessories and clothing and of course to celebrate. Everyone was welcome, regardless of whether they came by Harley, moped or S-Bahn. In the Customer Experience Area, Harley-Davidson the latest models for the season. You could also register for a free test drive here.

Visitors were particularly impressed by the new 2014 Touring models, which were able to demonstrate their qualities on a particularly long test drive route.
The elaborately converted Jever Bikes presented by the Frisian Brauhaus, which will be raffled off shortly, also exuded a special kind of fascination , as did the all-wheel drive vehicles from Jeep, whose controls everyone could take into their own hands on an off-road course.

Every evening there was pure partying. Ohrfeindt and Tom Beck were among the seventeen bands and musicians who rocked three stages. On Friday, Jogi's team were excited about victory in front of the big screen - only to continue to talk about it for all they were worth. Late at night, hissing fire shows bathed the area in a romantic reddish-yellow shimmer. Last, but not least, of course we went to the Reeperbahn, where the party just didn't want to end night after night at a second event area at Spielbudenplatz.

At the Ride-In Bike Show on Saturday in Mönckebergstrasse, guests were inspired by the most beautiful of the beautiful conversions - around 100 unique items that competed against each other in the top-class contest offered the material for dreaming and talking shop. The very next day, some of them impressively demonstrated that they were not just built to look at. Finally they found themselves in the acclaimed parade, which was led by singer Peter Maffay, television chef Horst Lichter, the actors Tanja Schumann and Till Demtrøder and “Mr. Tagesschau”, Jan Hofer, was cited.

The Köhlbrand Bridge, the Baakenhafen, the Landungsbrücken and the Reeperbahn were among the highlights of the approximately 33 kilometer long route. Together with the celebrities, the participants enjoyed one of the most beautiful cities in the republic on around 8,000 machines.
