St. Petersburg Harley Days
The St. Petersburg Harley Days 2014/15 were very successful, with visitors from all over Europe making their way to St. Petersburg.
The journey took place either by land or by ferry via Helsinki. Despite the tense situation, it was a successful event, which will certainly become one of the biggest events of its kind in Russia in the coming years. A great city and very friendly people welcome you to the UNESCO city. St. Petersburg is the northernmost metropolis with a population of five million, an exuberant cultural offer awaits you in the city, everything is fully integrated into the event. The tour to St. Petersburg is worthwhile in any case, of course there should also be plenty of driving, the northern route via Helsinki is interesting and once you have breathed in the Nordic air and got it as a breeze around your nose, you will want to come back again and again.
A large parade leads through the city, past the castles and monuments, taking you back to the old days. And the locals join in, standing everywhere along the streets and waving to the bikers. You get the impression that the women have really dressed up, modern or in cultural garb, they are a feast for the eyes.
