Harley Davidson owners rumble into San Tropez
8,000 bikes pour into the French Riviera for the 2009 EuroFestival
 |
THE SUN shone down over thousands of Harley-Davidson motorcyclists recently, as enthusiasts from all across Europe flocked to St Tropez for the 2009 Harley-Davidson EuroFestival.
Nearly 8,000 bikes rumbled into picturesque Port Grimaud for three days of rocking and riding.
While the surrounding area of the French Riviera provided breathtaking views by day, tributes to AC/DC and U2 as well as local French bands entertained the crowds by night. Undoubtedly, the highlight of the event was a Woodstock revival show on Saturday, which relived the famous concert of 1967.
The port of St Tropez hosted a constant stream of Harley-Davidson motorcycles all weekend. The spectacular parade on Sunday led bikes through the town where Chapters from all across Europe and beyond were represented in the Chapter Parade of Flags.
The custom bike show, held in the nearby picturesque village of Grimaud on Friday, was by far the best show the EuroFestival has ever seen - superb custom bikes were entered into categories such as Custom, Radical, Ladies of Harley and Big Twin..
