UPDATE – Hamburg Harley Days 2017
At the weekend it's finally time, every day you can see more and more Harley's arriving in Hamburg. The Alte Liebe on the Reeperbahn had already placed its regular guests before the starting signal on Friday and everything is clear as to what is going on and where.
As in previous years, the major city event will take place on the grounds of the wholesale market. Ride-In Bike Show is taking place again on Mönkebergstrasse .
This year, rock star Peter Maffay and illustrator Rötger “Brösel” Feldmann, the inventor of the cult comic “Werner” , are invited as guests of honor to the Hamburg Harley Days .
And particularly hot curves have already been presented in advance today: Julia Jasmin , who is known from the daily soap “Berlin Tag und Nacht” raised the temperatures beyond good and evil at Harley Hamburg Nord Starchoppers68) showed his chopper. She will also be on display at the Hamburg Harley Days event site. If her almost 800,000 Facebook fans also show up, things will probably be tight.
ADMISSION FREE!
Harley Village
The home base for the mega event is once again the Harley Village , which is being built on 40,000 square meters around the wholesale market.
Motorcycle fans from all over Europe meet in the Village to present their machines and “talk gasoline”. On the dealer mile you can find fashion and accessories as well as the exhibition of the current Harley-Davidson models. A number of live bands will provide entertainment, warming up the audience from two stages.
On Friday and Saturday nights, impressive fireworks lights up the night sky above the Village at the Großmarkt.
Side location on Sankt Pauli
The second area of the Hamburg Harley Days can be found on Sankt Pauli, a colorful biker and party mile. There will be an entertainment program on the Vattenfall stages, food stands and an exclusive selection of Harley-Davidson dealers and customizers. It starts at Spielbudenplatz at midday.
Directions and parking
For motorcyclists there are free “Free Bike Parking” areas on the event site and the paid, guarded parking area in front of the main entrance (3 euros: until midnight). There are no parking spaces for cars. The S3 (Hammerbrook) or U1 (Steinstrasse) line will also take you to your destination.
The Customer Experience Area with Dark Custom Stand.
Near the exit of the event site you will find the exhibition with the latest Harley-Davidson models and the Dark Custom bikes from the US manufacturer. The Dark Custom series machines are pimped up with parts from the original accessories catalog.
Pitt's Wall of Death
(admission adults: 6 euros, children: 4 euros)
Germany's most traditional steep wall can be found directly at the entrance to the city dike.
Here, for the first time at the Hamburg Harley Days, daring steep wall riders will be presenting themselves, doing their laps in the huge wooden bowl at breathtaking speed. Spectators watch the adrenaline-pumping action from the top of the Motodrom - in the case of Pitt's wall of death since 1933.
The Ride-In Bike Show on Saturday June 24th
The Bike Show traditionally takes place on Mönkebergstrasse; it is a highlight of the Hamburg Harley Days and this year over 100 participants are expected.
You can register directly on site.
Barge shuttle (Landungsbrücke 10)
Landungsbrücke 10 is not just a first-class photo spot for the hustle and bustle on the Elbe. Here, near the fish market and just a stone's throw from the Reeperbahn, the “Maritime Circle Line” barge shuttle starts every half hour and takes pedestrians directly to the Hamburg Harley Days event site. It always goes back on the hour. The shuttle service costs 8 euros (for children: 5 euros). The return trip costs 11 euros (children: 8 euros). Information at www.maritime-circle-line.de .
Pick-up and workshop service
If anyone has technical problems with their Harley-Davidson, the Harley-Davidson Hamburg Nord pick-up service can help on 01796240518.
The parade on Sunday – led by Peter Maffay, among others
One of the highlights of the Hamburg Harley Days, year after year, is the big parade in which all motorcycle fans can take part - regardless of whether they ride a Harley-Davidson or prefer another brand.
In 2017, thousands of bikers will once again set off on the approximately 33 kilometer long route - through the harbor, past the landing stages, onto the Köhlbrand Bridge and over the Reeperbahn. It starts at 1:00 p.m. at the wholesale market area.
The parade is organized by the Metropolitan Chapter of the Harley Owners Group and led by Peter Maffay.
