15th Summertime Party Sylt 2012

This weekend the Summertime Party was on the island of Sylt again. Despite the changeable weather, the Harley bikers came to the island again in large numbers for the 15th anniversary, many of them like to come a few days in advance by car train or by ferry via Denmark.

I can recommend both, the Danish route via Rómó offers direct contact with the sea, the salty sea air wafts through your nose and the route is a dream, the ferry ride is particularly suitable for taking a break with a cup of coffee and if Then everyone starts their Harley, it's a great feeling to be there.

But the trip on the car train is also impressive; you drive along the dike through the middle of the mud flats to the island. The Harleys are lashed down securely with the help of the railway staff, and there is a special carriage for bikers from which they can enjoy the ride.

On Friday the party was in the Kursaal in Westerland, as a special highlight the party band Boerny & DIE TRi TOPs were on stage and really got the room in the mood. This year there was an exclusive Gosch Harley to be won, whoever could If you wanted to have a chance at the new, converted Harley-Davidson Street-Bob, you had to have registered with the Sylt chapter in good time; the participants and lots were limited.

The lucky winner came from Berlin, it was worth it for him, I would say, the custom Gosch Harley was extensively converted and lavishly painted. On Saturday morning the Harleys lined up on the promenade in Westerland for the big ride.

Many very beautiful custom bikes appeared on the dike again, tourists and locals alike didn't miss the show. Then it started, led by a police Harley-Davidson, the entourage was led from the dike.

This time the Sylt chapter did the tour a little differently than usual, of course there was another stop at Gosch in List, but this time there was live music in Weddingstedt from the island band Kernig, Friesisch herb!

Even the band was styled in a Harley style with the right T-shirts and created a good atmosphere. It was once again a successful party, which can once again be counted among the most beautiful Harley events in the country this year thanks to its special flair.
