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 am one of the most successful influencers in the Harley-Davidson sector in German-speaking countries, especially thanks to the growing number of followers on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. The Harleysite regularly offers 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.
Particularly due to the growing number of followers on Facebook, the active and committed fan base that is interested in Harley-Davidson motorcycles and the culture associated with them is growing. I have been attending international Harley-Davidson events for many years and report on Harley-Davidson events and my tours in the media, including as a travel blogger.
I test trips for Harley riders or organize tours to special places or events myself as a guide. I'm passionate about photography and that's why you can find many photos of my experiences on the site.
And because I often photograph Harley bikers at events, you may even find yourself 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
On my pages you will find a lot of information about Harley-Davidson topics that will always keep you up to date.

The Harleysite Story 22
The best thing is to combine tours with one of the great events
For example, being part of the Daytona Bike Week in Florida, ideally cruising along the coast on a Harley, 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, you can also experience beautiful days and the passion with many in Hamburg at the Harley Days or at the Magic Bike Week on the Rhine share with others.
The European Bike Week at Lake Faaker See is the highlight of the events in Europe; over 70,000 Harleys quickly gather here.

"About me"
Who likes to write about themselves? I am a freelance journalist and photo-videographer. I cover everything that has anything to do with the subject of Harley-Davidson and motorcycling.
These are today's terms for someone who is on social media. Actually, at over 50, I'm too old for something like that, but those who have an ever-growing community hear these terms more often. And it's fun, but it's really hard work and requires a technical background and a feeling for marketing.
We're also happy to test!
Everything is tested, from Harley-Davidsons to cars, trailers and even biker clothes.

Panono 360 degree camera
There was even a special Panono 360° camera on the trip, even though it was still a prototype. I have been passionate about riding motorcycles , so first and foremost I am a motorcyclist and over the years I have found that the Harley-Davidson has the most to offer me.
The scene is international and great friendships have been built over the years. That's what's unique about Harley meetings around the world.
What don't you do?
Since 2004 I have helped organize a number of Harley events such as in Plön until 2008 and the Harley Weekend Lübeck from 2008 to 2011.

My highlights
Over the years, many great contacts have been built in this scene. Touring together with Peter Maffay , for whom I was able 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 just 99, I was there too. It took us a whole day to shoot, it was a great, unforgettable experience for all of us.

The American Chopper TV Show
Me and Paul Teutul Sr. in New York
The jump into American television on Discovery Channel with a few small appearances on Orange County Choppers was a very special highlight. The show American Chopper is broadcast in over 160 countries worldwide.
I have been very good friends with Paul Teutul Sr., Joan, Mikey and many others from Crew for several years. Paul called me and said he needed a good customizer from Germany, of course I could help him!

With FreiWild and OCC in New York
The next adventure was recording the music video with the band FreiWild and OCC in New York. While traveling in the New York City Subway, there was an impromptu concert in the subway.
Together with FreiWild and Orange County Choppers in the USA
A great biker song was planned, and a whole album came out of it. The brand name is Brüder4Brothers and the album even ended up in the TOP 5 in Germany, and there was sometimes a fight for number 1 with Dire Straits. You can find the album on Amazon .
We spent almost a week filming together in the USA. FreiWild's live concert at OCC's headquarters was great, and FreiWild fans even flew in from New York to see it.

He is a big OCC fan and built a very special example for Paul. The whole thing was filmed by his TV team, who accompanies him during his work.

I organized the handover for him in Newburgh so that he could hand the knife over to Paul Teutul Sr. shortly before Christmas.
In addition to Arnold Schwarzenegger, Thomas Schurian's clientele also includes Putin.

Would you like to take a Harley tour in Cuba?
I am lucky enough 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 go on a tour.
Che Guevara condolence book
I was given a very special honor when I was allowed to sign the condolence book of his father Che, just a few pages behind Fidel Castro, at the Monumento Memorial in Santa Clara.
I will accompany you for groups of 5 to 6 people if you want to experience Cuba on the 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.
Together with Ernesto Guevara in Cuba in the mountains of Cienfuegos
The country completely surprised me; I had a completely different impression of the island. I'm glad to have seen Cuba again now. Even if the houses look shabby from the outside, the shine is there inside the houses.
It was a very special honor for me to be able to sign Che Guevara's condolence book at the Monumento Memorial in Santa Clara, just a few pages behind Fidel Castro.
The full Cuba report is coming soon.

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; no one would have thought that the situation could escalate to such an extent again. If we all rode Harley-Davidsons, we wouldn't have these problems.
Under the event photos you will find my large picture gallery from the last few years, from the St. Petersburg Harley Days. Or you can look on Facebook, where you can also find all the albums online.

The Harley-Davidson Tourer test
The technology is not neglected either, the Harley-Davidson innovations in particular are a popular topic, long and detailed test drives where the Harley has to show what it is capable of. With the new Harley-Davidson Road Glide Ultra you can go to the North Cape, where the most adverse weather conditions prevail, the ideal place to prove your touring ability.

30,000 kilometers with the new Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine
In 2017 I drove 30,000 kilometers through Europe with the new Milwaukee-Eight 107cui engine. From the North Cape to Andorra, Spain, Russia, I drove the machine through 14 European countries. The Road Glide Ultra has always been a reliable companion.
I have currently driven around 10,000 kilometers with the Harley-Davidson Heritage Classic 114cui model year 2019. In June I drove the Heritage Classic 114 to Portugal to the Harley event in Cascais. You can find the driving report here , followed a little later by the travel report about the Spain and France tour with the Heritage Classic 114.
