Time out
The best Harley-Davidson events of 2013
Nerve-racking 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 lived out.
For this purpose, some lock themselves away in simple monastery cells, others go to romantic suites or chic spas, and quite a few seek salvation in autogenic training, progressive muscle relaxation or QiGo.
Bikers have it easy because they find the “Qi”, their lifeblood, at the big motorcycle events made by Harley-Davidson .
Taking a few days off and tasting the icing on the cake of life is easily possible again in 2013 - and you don't even have to own a Harley, because all friends of good parties are welcome at every event, regardless of who they are The brand name is on the tank of your machine and it doesn't matter whether you even ride a motorcycle!
Whether in international metropolises like at the Hamburg (June 21st - 23rd) and the Vienna Harley Days (July 19th - 21st) or in the middle of "landscape full" like at the Magic Bike Rüdesheim (May 30th - June 2nd), the Edersee Meeting (June 27th - 30th), the Friendship Ride in the beautiful Rhön (August 9th - 11th), the Charity Tour Austria (August 9th - 15th) and the European Bike Week at Faaker See (September 3-8) – fun and action are guaranteed. In 2013, the sks trips in cooperation with Harley-Davidson invite you to Andalusia (April 14th - 20th), Sardinia (May 13th - 19th) and Mallorca (November 4th - 10th).
110th Harley company anniversary brought into focus again and again Two events in particular stand out from the canon of events in this regard: the European Birthday Party, which will transform Harley City 110th Anniversary Celebration from August 29th to September 1st in Milwaukee , USA , where 30 years of HOG are being celebrated at the same time - bigger than ever before!
Of course, a big parade, an extensive dealer mile, lots of strong live music and an exhibition of the latest models - for viewing and free test driving - are on the agenda of all parties. Almost more important are the many machines used by the guests and – of course – the many guests themselves.
No two bikes are the same, and in no time you'll be talking to 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 simply mark a few dates in your calendar , treat yourself to a break in the style of the house and go - it's worth it!
