NEU-ISENBURG (July 28, 2021) - Concerts, theater, events... Last winter people thought that a lot would be possible again this year. Unfortunately, the reality looked different and various Harley-Davidson events also had to be canceled - but not the Harley Days Dresden.

From July 23rd to 25th we were allowed to go around Saxony's state capital. The Harley Days Dresden were celebrated at the gutter near the trade fair - of course under corona-compliant conditions, because after all, the virus should be kept outside!

Over the three days of the event, around 8,500 fans in good spirits gathered in the sunny summer weather on the spacious event grounds in the Ostragehege and were treated to a lot. All two-wheeled news from Harley-Davidson could be admired in the expo area and test driving was expressly welcome. The clear highlight among the exhibits was the new Sportster S, which will come onto the market in autumn and was presented to the public for the first time at the event.

Luke Mansfield, Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer, and Kolja Rebstock, Regional Vice President Europe, Middle East and Africa at Harley-Davidson Motor Company, did not miss the opportunity to ceremoniously unveil the machine. Of course, the Harley-on-Tour truck was also there, fully loaded with the latest machines that were put through their paces.

The fleet of Pan America adventure tourers and the armada of Serial 1 e-bikes also provided plenty to talk about, and were of course also available for extensive test rides. More than 300 guests jumped on the saddles of motorcycles and e-bikes for a test ride.

The offerings in the shopping area, where various authorized dealers and traders presented their goods, ranged from airy scarves to cool leather jackets and strong custom parts. And last, but not least, in Dresden they also provided stylish catering in the style of Harley-Davidson.

The Dresden Chapter of the Harley Owners Group celebrated its 25th birthday and led trips to Saxon Switzerland and Lusatia, where they explored the best corners of the region together with guests. Meanwhile, the bike show took place on the roundabout called Milwaukee Circle in the middle of the area and the most beautiful of them measured their qualities in the bike show, where the best unique models were chosen.

In addition to the custom categories, there was also a prize in the Most Original category, which was won by a lady from North Rhine-Westphalia. In addition to the countless V-twins, the Radio Bob! Band, the rock 'n' roll troupe The Ants and the Böhse-Onkelz tribute band Glorreiche Halunken for good Vibrations.

The guests said goodbye to Saxony's capital on Sunday with the big biker parade through the city of Dresden. Further information can be found at www.harley-days-dresden.de.
