The season extenders
350 motorcycle fans enjoyed summer temperatures at the Mallorca Bike Week 2013 from November 4th to 10th
• Eight SKS trucks brought more than 270 machines to the island
• Daily rides and big parties
• Test rides on brand new bikes from the 2014 model year
When the days in Germany become shorter, the temperatures drop to uncomfortable levels and wet leaves cover the streets, many Harley riders get on their bikes again: They have entrusted their bike at home to the motorcycle shipping company SKS and got on a plane to go to Mallorca to enjoy the last rays of sunshine of the year and explore the beautiful Balearic island on two wheels in pleasant temperatures.
“Mallorca Bike Week” is the name of the annual event, SKS Reisen organizes it under the patronage of Harley-Davidson , and this year 350 motorcycle and island fans took part - including a honeymoon couple. SKS brought more than 270 bikes to Mallorca in eight trucks. When the 350 guests arrived, their machines were already lined up in front of the “event base camp”, the Robinson Club Cala Serena on the southeast coast of the island. The 120,000 square meter club area is located in the middle of almost untouched nature directly by the sea. Once again, the perfect pampering and all-round feel-good program in the style of the House of Robinson was offered here.
But actually people were on the island to ride motorcycles: For this purpose, Harley-Davidson had made brand new 2014 bikes available for test rides. In addition, SKS offered three guided tours daily. The rides took the bikers on small, winding roads past rugged rock formations into the pristine hinterland and to picturesque bathing bays that were perfect for swimming in warm summer temperatures of 28 degrees. In the evening you fortified yourself at the buffet, which was as good as it was rich, chilled out at the bar or danced into the night. The “Highway to Hell” and “Rock this Way” parties, the “Bella Italia” café and the hot live gigs from “Mariachi unplugged” and “The Clou Experience” provided a lot of fun and action.
The event highlights included the rally to the monastery of Sant Salvador, which was followed by the traditional BBQ, the “Only for Women” tour with a shopping trip and the Saturday parade HOG Chapter , which ended in a spectacular farewell in the Theater and a big farewell party.
Of course there will be another Mallorca Bike Week - from
November 3rd to 9th. SKS Reisen provides information about this at www.sks-reisen.de or by calling +49 (0)2623 964690.
