Time out
The best Harley-Davidson events of 2013
Nerve-wracking stress, whining children and nagging bosses - our lives are literally crying out for time out, for time for ourselves, for time for the many dreams that have not (yet) been realized.
Some lock themselves away in simple monastery cells for this purpose, others are driven to romantic suites or chic spas, and quite a few seek their salvation in autogenic training, progressive muscle relaxation or QiGo.
Bikers have it easy here, because they find the „Qi“, their lifeblood, at the big Motorcycle events made by Harley-Davidson.
Taking a few days off and tasting the salt in the soup of life is once again possible in 2013 - and you don't even have to own a Harley, because all friends of good parties are expressly welcome at every event, regardless of the brand name on the tank of their bike and regardless of whether they ride a motorcycle at all!
Whether in major international cities such as the Hamburg (21.-23.6.) and the Vienna Harley Days (19.-21.7.) or in the midst of „countryside galore“ such as at the Magic Bike Rüdesheim (30.5.-2.6.), the Edersee Meeting (27.-30.6.), the Friendship Ride in the beautiful Rhön (9.-11.8.), the Charity Tour Austria (9.-15.8.) and the European Bike Week at Lake Faak (3.-8.9.) - Fun and action are guaranteed. Andalusia (14-20.4.), Sardinia (13-19.5.) and Mallorca (4-10.11.) are the destinations for sks-Reisen in cooperation with Harley-Davidson in 2013.
And again and again in the coming year the 110th anniversary of the Harley company moved into focus. Two Events stand out from the canon of events in this respect: the European birthday party, which will transform Rome into a Harley City will transform, and the 110th Anniversary Celebration from August 29 to September 1 in Milwaukee, United States, where at the same time 30 years H.O.G. will be celebrated - more powerful than ever before!
Of course, a large parade, an extensive dealer mile, lots of great live music and an exhibition of the latest models - for viewing and free test rides - are on the agenda of all parties. Almost more important are the many machines of the guests and - of course - the many guests themselves.
No two bikes are the same, and in no time at all you're in conversation with countless like-minded people who have come to have fun. It must have something to do with „freedom“ ... If you want to feel it, you should just come and have a few Dates in the Calendar mark, treat yourself to a time-out in the style of the house and go there - it's worth it!
