The 2011 Harley-Davidson® Africa Bike Week™ revs up

Spectacular sunsets, picturesque beaches and the natural coastal area are not the only main attractions Margate has to offer. The city is home to one of the country’s largest and most thrilling motorcycle rallies, the Harley-Davidson® Africa Bike Week™.

This annual event kicks off on Thursday, 28 April and runs straight through to Sunday, 1 May – attracting families, H.O.G® members and riders from all over South Africa.

Both young and old fans travel to Margate every year to experience the iconic Harley-Davidson® motorcycles and ultimate lifestyle. This year, visitors can expect to be enthralled with the sound of thousands of motorbikes, an unforgettable adventure and so much more.

Participate in the largest Harley-Davidson® mass ride-out in South Africa, be entertained by top local performers, watch spectacular stunt shows, shop at the Harley dealers and markets and check out the newest Harley-Davidson® motorcycles, as well as accessories and Harley-Davidson® and
H.O.G® merchandise.

Live entertainment starts on the Thursday evening at the Harley® Village, main beach arena and at the Tennessee Aftermarket, second arena, which then transforms to a DJ venue of disco music and dancing.

“In 2010 alone, over 12 000 Harley-Davidson® motorcycles and 80 000 enthusiasts congregated in Margate over a period of four days, and this year we anticipate even more bike fanatics and riders,” says Africa Bike Week™ organiser, Martin Engelbrecht.

“Following the success of Africa Bike Week™ for two consecutive years, we are excited to be hosting the event for the third year running.

“We have planned some exciting activities, and we anticipate 3 000 riders to take part in the mass ride on Sunday, 1 May from the Shelley Centre to Port Shepstone.”
