"Today was a small rain parade," said a spokesperson for the German Press Agency. Approximately 1500 bikers took part. In the previous year, around 5000 motorcycle enthusiasts participated in the parade on the 30 kilometer long route.
The bikers rode out in the afternoon with their heavy machines from the market square and over the Veddel and the Köhlbrandbridge into the heart of the harbor, as a spokesperson said. The return journey was over the Freihafenbridge through the Hafencity, past the landing bridges and the fish market, over the Reeperbahn to the market square.

The organizers of the Harley Days, which have been located on the Großmarktgelände since 2010, had reminded motorcycle fans of consideration for the population with many signs in the city.
