Now the Harley Days are taking place in Hamburg after all.

The Hamburg Harley Days 2010 will now take place in Hamburg after all. The Hamburg Senate reached an agreement with the organizer on Monday to allow the traditional event to take place this year. The Hamburg cultural authorities have announced that the organizer will be given the space at the Hamburg wholesale market and not the space at Heiligengeist Feld. 

In addition, the Hamburg-Harley-Days will only be permitted in Hamburg every two years. The date from June 25 to 27, 2010 can therefore be switched back to green.  

In the meantime, over 40,000 thousand signatures have been submitted in favor of the Hamburg Harley Days, so it can be said that the Harley community has successfully asserted itself against the first decision of the Hamburg Senate.

It is certainly also thanks to the Hamburg-based company Louis and the hotel industry, which have united behind Harley-Davidson. The proportion of the population that is against this event is in any case very small and was predominantly only to be found in politics.

The fact that the event is now taking place after all is not only a success for the organizer, but also for the city of Hamburg, which is now once again living up to its name „Metropolis Hamburg“.

Sometimes politicians have to be forced to be happy, at least the Harley flags can now be raised again.
