The 16th Annual H.O.G ( Harley Davidson Owners Group ) took place recently in Fuengirola, on the Costa del Sol.. All records where set to be broken before hand when it was announced that over 10.000 Harley Owners and their precious bikes would be attending, well apparently it was nearer 11.000 .... and an amazing time was had by all.
There was also extra reason to celebrate this year’s gathering, as the ever popular organisation welcomed its 100,000th member in Europe.
Nigel Villiers, director of the Harley Owners Group Europe, Middle East & Africa, says: “There’s a real sense of anticipation around this year’s event. Not only is Fuengirola a fantastic venue for the rally but we’re also celebrating the arrival of our 100,000th European H.O.G. member - a tremendous achievement since our first rally in 1991.”
I was there on Saturday and Sunday and the atmosphere was electric not to mention noisy. Most of the bikes on display or being ridden around where pure works of art with a lot of the riders drawing as much attention as the bikes themselves. The picture above shows special cusom his and hers models reportedly to be worth over 150.000 Euros each , they where certainly spectacular in design and drew much attention whilst being on display at the main rally area in the centre of Fuengirola.
I think every once concerned will remember this event for a long time to come, not to mention the thousands of curios locals and holiday makers who turned to this festival ….…great fun indeed.
