On Saturday 6th June the event organisers scheduled a motorbike parade between the towns of Lloret de Mar and Platja d’Aro in order to commemorate the Centenary of the Costa Brava and show those taking part the natural beauty of the coastal landscape of the Girona area.
Apart from the motorbike exhibition held over the weekend, visitors were able to enjoy spectacular free activities such as an impressive bike show including a whole range of Harley Davidson-related and Custom articles, a technical service, test runs, music concerts, private parties, a bike parade on Saturday evening, a trip along the Costa Brava, a kids’ club for the little ones and the attendance of the world’s top specialists in motorbike customisation.
