End of the Hamburg Harley Days 2010

End of the Hamburg Harley Days 2010

This news hits the Harley scene like a bomb. The Hamburg Senate has approved the Hamburg Harley-Days 2010 und 2011 eine Absage erteilt und die Veranstaltung wird es in Hamburg dieses und nächstes Jahr voraussichtlich nicht geben. Nun müssen viele Harley Fans reagieren, die auch im letzten Jahr schon ihre Hotels umbuchen mussten, weil der Termin verschoben wurde, dürfen sie ihr Hotel in diesem Jahr stornieren. 

One reason for this is said to be that Hamburg was named Environmental Capital 2011, in which case an event like the HH-Days would not fit into the overall picture.

Even in previous years, the organizer had to deal with the stress of finding a different venue within the city. Although the Holy Spirit Field similar events are always held, the Harley Days are said to have been too loud.

According to press releases, most of the opponents come from Hamburg's GAL, while other institutions mourn the enormous economic damage to the city of Hamburg.

An alternative is currently the major event in Lübeck, which made its debut last year in the largest city of Schleswig-Holstein and was a huge success. In contrast to Hamburg, Harley riders were welcome there.

From a tourist point of view, it is disastrous for Hamburg, events of this kind bring a good clientele to the city and are entertainment for the whole family.

It's not just Harley riders who are out and about during the event, on the contrary, many visitors from the surrounding area who just want to have a look take part in this spectacle.

But for Hamburg that was probably too much, ok, if you can afford it, that's the way it should be!!!!
