Review - Harley-Davidson Meeting Ruhrpott 2024
Last Sunday, the annual Harley-Davidson Meeting Ruhrpott took place at the LWL Industrial Museum in Hattingen. The official Harley-Davidson event is a mega 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 fine, thousands of bikes stand in front of the gate waiting to be let in. This year things were a little different: in the early hours of the morning there was heavy rainfall throughout the area and the roads were wet. That doesn't go particularly well with spick and span Harley-Davidson bikes. However, 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 in the box. I imagine they heard me, because about an hour later it was full steam ahead. Suddenly they all came and it didn't take long for the parking lots to be filled with really nice bikes.
What's special are the parking spaces between the old locomotives and iron parts - you can take great pictures here. Everyone who has stood there has certainly been able to take a super nice photo of their bike and take it home with them.
There were once again many excellent exhibitors on site who presented their products and services at the one-day event. The Ruhrpott meeting is supported by Harley-Davidson Pfeiffer, MotoMaxx and Thunderbike. Tickets can also be purchased in advance from the H-D dealers, which is very practical. After all, not everything always has to be digital. This means you can ride straight onto the site without having to go through the process of exchanging tickets for wristbands.
In the end, everyone was happy and satisfied again, a sunny day, not too hot and not too cold, you got to see lots of bikes and meet lots of like-minded people.
See you next year!
