Africa Bike week 2011
Margate, South Africa

Reportback on Africa Bike Week 2009 – HOG Cape Town - www.hog-sa.co.za
The 1st Africa Bike Week has come and gone and no-one knew what to expect – but what a blast! It was a unique Harley Davidson event in SA and even though it was different to what we are used to, we soon adapted and really enjoyed ourselves.

In all I think there were only about 30 or so Cape Town riders present of which some 15 or so were HOG CT members. It was wonderful seeing our HOG CT biker colours amongst those from other Chapters and clubs. Even though, like me, some of our members flew up and hired cars the event was still a memorable biking experience.

Harleys from all over South Africa descended on Margate. The official announcement at the closing ceremony stated numbers of bikes at around 4300 with the mass ride attracting some 1800 bikes. Our own HOG CT flag was proudly hoisted and flown during the mass ride.

Even though the Rally was an open one, the vast majority of bikers were HD riders. Superbikes and cruisers in all makes and sizes were there as well. The HD message was sent out to all bikers loud and clear - a powerful brand and a great machine.

Margate is a wonderful town for a holiday and the people and authorities really opened their hearts to us rowdy bikers. In the words of the Mayor of the Hibiscus Coast – we enjoyed a truly “African Harley Davidson experience”.
