The Harleysite Story

What can you find on the Harleysite?

News, event news, blog, vlog, tour tips and photos on Harley-Davidson topics. My name is Volker Wolf and I have been the operator of this website for over 20 years and, thanks to the growing number of followers on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube, I am one of the most successful influencers in the Harley-Davidson sector in German-speaking countries. The Harleysite offers regular news and information about Harley-Davidson and is very popular among Harley fans and enthusiasts and has an active community, especially in the area of social media.

Especially due to the growing number of followers on Facebook, the active and dedicated fan community that is interested in Harley-Davidson motorcycles and the culture associated with them is growing. For many years I have been traveling to international Harley-Davidson events and reporting on Harley-Davidson events and my tours as a travel blogger.

Hamburg Harley Days
The biggest Harley-Davidson city event is the Hamburg Harley Days.

I test trips for Harley riders, or organize tours myself as a guide to special places or events. I am passionate about photography and so you can find many photos of my experiences on the site.

And because I often photograph Harley bikers at the events, you may even find yourselves among the photos or in the video. And if the bikers only want the photo with the Harleysite logo for their social media, that's also a statement.

EVERYTHING THAT IS NEW AND IMPORTANT

You will find a lot of information on Harley-Davidson topics on my pages to keep you up to date.

Success is measurable

With more than a million unique visitors every year, Harleysite is one of the most popular places to go for everything Harley-Davidson. This brand inspires people from all walks of life - and that's what makes it so special.

What does the Harley-Davidson brand offer?

Harley-Davidson has a lot to offer, it's not just the riding, it's the spirit that you find all over the world.

And that is also the next topic, with the Harley-Davidson you can travel the whole world without having to be an extreme rider. There are countless offers from travel providers, events that you can visit, or if you simply want to ride to the destinations you have set yourself on the roadmap.

Discover the world on a Harley-Davidson.

The Harleysite Story

The best thing is Tours with one of the great Events They are often dream destinations and great experiences.

For example, on the Daytona Bike Week to be there in Florida, preferably cruising along the coast on a Harley, that is a very nice experience.

One of the most beautiful event destinations in Europe is the Euro Festival in St. Tropez, but you don't always have to travel far away, even in Hamburg on the Harley Days or on the Magic Bike Week on the Rhine, you can experience beautiful days and share your passion with many others.

The European Bike Week on Lake Faak is the highlight among the events in Europe, where more than 70,000 Harleys quickly gather.

„About me“

Who likes to write about themselves? I'm a freelance journalist and photographer/videographer, and I'm interested in everything to do with Harley-Davidson and motorcycling.

Blogger, Instagrammer, YouTuber

These are today's terms for someone who is active on social media. At over 50, I'm actually too old for that, but if you have an ever-growing community, you hear these terms more often. And it's fun, but it's really hard work that requires a technical background and a feel for marketing.

We are also happy to test!

Everything is tested, from Harley-Davidson to cars, trailers and biker clothing.

There was even a special Panono 360° camera on the trip, although it was still a prototype. I have been passionate about driving for over 35 years motorcycle, so first and foremost I am Motorcyclist and have realized over the years that the brand Harley-Davidson can offer the most.

The scene is international and great friendships have developed over the years. That's the unique thing about Harley meetings around the world.

What don't you do?

Since 2004 I have worked on several Harley events as in Plön until 2008 and the Harley Weekend Lübeck co-organized from 2008 to 2011.

My highlights

Over the years, many great contacts have been established in this scene. Joint tours with Peter Maffay, for whom I was allowed to organize the casting for his music video together with a friend, was such a highlight.

We were looking for 100 cool bikers, or actually only 99, as I was there too. We needed a whole day for the shoot, it was a great and unforgettable experience for all of us.

The jump to American television on Discovery Channel with a few small appearances on Orange County Choppers was a very special highlight. The American Chopper program is broadcast in over 160 countries worldwide.

I have been very good friends with Paul Teutul Sr, Joan, Mikey and many others from the crew for several years. Paul called me that he needed a good customizer from Germany, of course I could help him!

Fancy a tour on a Harley in Cuba?

I have the good fortune to have been friends with Ernesto Guevara for several years. He is the son of the revolutionary legend Che Guevara and has over 12 Harleys in Cuba with which he offers guided tours.

I support him in this and went to Cuba in February 2019 to take part in a tour.

Book of condolences
Che Guevara book of condolence

I was given a very special honor when I was allowed to sign the condolence book of his father Che in the Monumento Memorial in Santa Clara just a few pages behind Fidel Castro.

From 5 to 6 people I will accompany you if you want to experience Cuba on a Harley-Davidson.

Experience Cuba's history

Cuba is a dream for biking, it challenges you, but it's fun. Especially together with Ernesto and his crew.

The country totally surprised me, I had a completely different impression of the island. I'm glad to have seen Cuba again now. Even though the houses may look run-down from the outside, there's still a sparkle inside.

It was a very special honor for me to be able to sign Che Guevara's book of condolence in the Monumento Memorial in Santa Clara, just a few pages behind Fidel Castro.

The full Cuba report is coming soon.

Russia was worth a trip

The Harleysite Story
Via Scandinavia to Russia

Unfortunately, the current circumstances make it impossible to travel to the beautiful city of St. Petersburg again in the long term. We have always received a very hospitable welcome, we never thought that the situation could escalate like this again. If we rode everything Harley-Davidson, we wouldn't have these problems.

Under the event photos you will find my large picture gallery from the last years of the St. Petersburg Harley Days. Or take a look at Facebook, where you can also find all the albums online.

The Harley-Davidson Tourer Test

The technology is not neglected either, especially the Harley-Davidson innovations are a popular topic, long and detailed test rides where the Harley has to show what it's made of. With the new Harley-Davidson Road Glide Ultra, we even take it to the North Cape, where the most adverse weather conditions prevail, the ideal place to prove its touring capabilities.

On the way to the North Cape.

30,000 kilometers with the new Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine

In 2017, I rode 30,000 kilometers through Europe with the new Milwaukee-Eight 107cui engine. From the North Cape to Andorra, Spain and Russia, I rode the bike through 14 European countries. The Road Glide Ultra has always been a reliable companion.

I have currently ridden around 10,000 kilometers on the Harley-Davidson Heritage Classic 114cui model year 2019. In June, I took the Heritage Classic 114 to Portugal for the Harley event in Cascais. You can find the ride report here, The travel report on the Spain and France tour with the Heritage Classic 114 will follow a little later.
