The participants included Jörg Potreck, general manager of the Hilton Hotels in Cologne and Bonn, the undertaker and carnivalist Christoph Kuckelkorn and the director Kaspar Heidelbach (“The Miracle of Lengede”, Tatort and many others).

For those who don't own a Harley, the Cologne dealer Karl-Jörg von Herz provided a machine.

On the agenda for May 24th, in addition to the enjoyment of motorcycling in the varied Bergische landscape, was the good deed: The “entry fee” was 99 euros per person and the entire amount went to “Doctors Without Borders”. The aid organization was represented by Dr. med. Wolfgang Spithaler, who also personally accompanied the tour.

Before the start of the joint trip, he gratefully received the donation of 1,900 euros from Ralf Schmitz, department director, Cologne branch of Credit Suisse (Deutschland) AG.
