It might not start until the 8th but motorbikes are all over the countryside and have been for some days. The slap of a Harley bike engine is hard not to enjoy but when its100,000 it can be a trifle noisy. Many have been and will continue to enjoy the lakes & mountain passes, Wurzen and Vrsic are wonderful hairpin drives in Slovenia and so close to the Bike venue of Lake Faaker See.
I understand other makes of bike are not frowned upon but as the large island sign reads HARLEYWOOD, they will be outnumbered .
Unsure of the average age of these riders but they all look like me & I’m old.
Any bike riding TMers over here to enjoy the beer, bikes and dare I say it, Frau biker babes ?
It will be earplugs in next week.

PS Still not seen a Morgan in the 6 weeks away but I might have a surprise this week…..

I was at the 90th HD celebrations in Milwaukee in 93, and among the estimated 100k bikes attending that event .....,it is a staggering sight, the first time in US history they closed the freeway to all other traffic to allow the drive past, Just like Daytona Bike Week, Octoberfest and Sturgis, they have to be seen to be truly appreciated, not just the sights and sounds of the bikes, but also the lack of clothing adorning the ladies.

I've done European Bike week many times and it never gets boring :-)
I also did the Harley Davidson 105th in Rome and that was very special.
Just lining up early for the main parade ride and taking in the atmosphere, wow.

Do you know that 90% of all the Harley Davidson’s ever built are still on the road, the other 10% made it home. 😉

Well it wouldn't be a Harley if something didn't work itself loose and fall off.

Slightly annoying, as I'd made it myself. Still, ordered new bits and hopefully have it ready for next Saturday.......
And some double sided tape incase it rattles loose again.
