Review – Harley-Davidson Meeting Ruhrpott 2024
Last Sunday the annual Harley-Davidson Meeting Ruhrpott took place in the LWL Industrial Museum in Hattingen. The official Harley-Davidson event is a huge attraction for Harley-Davidson bikers and those who might want to become one.
At 10:00 a.m. the horn sounds and the large iron gate of the industrial museum opens for the bikers. Normally, when the weather is nice, there are thousands of bikes standing in front of the gate waiting to be admitted. This year things were a little different: in the early hours of the morning there was heavy rain throughout the area and the roads were wet. That doesn't particularly harmonize with sparkling clean Harley-Davidson machines. A few hundred were already there at 10 a.m., but it wasn't like usual.
I had appealed on social media that I didn't have nearly enough photos of the Harleys. I imagine now that they heard it, because about an hour later it all started. Suddenly they all came and it didn't take long until the parking spaces were filled with really nice bikes.
What's special are the spaces between the old locomotives and iron parts - you can take great pictures here. Everyone who stood there was certainly able to take a really nice photo of their bike and take it home with them.
There were again a lot of good exhibitors on site who presented their offerings at the day's event. The Ruhrpott meeting is supported by Harley-Davidson Pfeiffer, MotoMaxx and Thunderbike. You can also buy tickets in advance from the HD dealers, which is very practical. Because not everything always has to be digital. This means you can drive directly onto the site without having to exchange your ticket for a wristband.
In the end everyone was happy and satisfied again, a sunny day, not too warm and not too cold, we got to see a lot of bikes and met a lot of like-minded people.
See you next year!
