Harley Days is the first fully open annual Harley-Davidson rally and it looks like being a success. Registrations are already approaching 1800.

Organisers say that indicates a big crowd as Saturday and Sunday are open to the public.

They expect up to 2300 for the HOGs-only Friday night VIP event. The evening highlight will be a performance by Ross Wilson of Daddy Cool and Mondo Rock fame. Other acts include Ash Grunwald, the Screamin’ Eagles and The Zombies. 

Tickets for HOGs only can be purchased for $49 online and include a range of benefits and events for the weekend. Plus one lucky member will win a trip to Route 66 on Friday night.

Entertainment line-up

The event then opens to the public on Saturday with headline entertainment act Hot Dub Time Machine.

Live bands Stonefield, The Snowdroppers, IVY, and the Jam Junkies will also perform across the weekend.

Harley Days will feature a display of the full range of new 107-cube and 1145-cube Milwaukee Eight models. Spectators will also be able to take them for a demo ride.

There will also be a Custom Bike Show, traditional Show and Shine, and the chance to win a Harley-Davidson Dyna Low Rider S.
