What a run this has been… a great run… an amazing run… and yes, one hell of a blast! I never thought I’d be the one writing this final note—but here we are. Life has a funny way of putting you in the rider’s seat when you least expect it. Being one of the newer members, I can honestly say that La Valette exceeded every expectation. Saying the group was “alive” doesn’t quite cut it—it was a full-on, roaring engine. Vibrant, positive, and constantly pulling in new blood. And so

The gods blessed us with some proper riding weather—just in time for what might have been La Valette’s last Sunday run. 9:00 am. Kettles on. Chrome shining. Engines rumbling. Now that’s a combination we can all get behind. As always, a strong crew turned up—good numbers, great energy, and the usual mix of coffee, banter, and harmless debate. Topic of the day? The possible merger of LVM with Malta Chapter… serious stuff. But let’s be honest—none of that stood a chance once Hac

Time for Salutamu. This was a first-timer for Salutamu — and what a debut! Big thumbs up for the idea, La Valette 👏 It all kicked off on Wednesday evening: engines rumbling, spirits high, and a solid crew ready for a proper adventure. After the usual Virtu Ferries banter (you know the type…), we headed for a quick dinner in Pozzallo. Nothing fancy — just fuelling up for what was ahead. Thursday was a more relaxed affair. We rode out to Ortigia — great weather, great food, no

Yet another weekend… and yes, more rain. Zeus must have one serious short circuit going on in his system. Come on, bro — sort it out! Saturday, thankfully, was good. Boringly amazing, in the best possible way. We met up at WKD for the usual chats, laughs, and plenty of Salutamu planning. After that, we rolled over to our regular pit stop at Amuri. I have to say… I really love our Garage Saturdays. Good bikes, good people, and the usual dose of nonsense — perfect. Sunday, howe

Member of La Valette Malta, dedicated Harley rider, hotel management professional and above all a proud family man. Getting to know Omar; Let’s start with the man behind the handlebars. Omar, tell us a bit about yourself – your career in hotel management, your daily life and how you balance work, family, and your passions. Well, let me start with the most important part of my life, my family. At the end of the day, titles, hotels, strategies and KPIs all come and go, but fami

And finally, the weather gods granted us a dry and sunny winter weekend. FINALLY! On Saturday some of us gathered at our clubhouse at WKD for the usual Garage Saturday. It’s amazing how we always find the time — and the arguments — about bike improvements, customisations and future travel plans. Very impressive… and slightly suspicious 😄 Sunday was the day. Getting to Kettles in the morning was a bit of an ordeal. Thanks to the Malta Marathon, a lot of roads were closed to t

It’s been a while since we last wrote about it, but Garage Saturdays still rock — and yesterday was no exception. A solid crew rolled in at WKD for the weekly catch-up: coffee in hand, plenty of banter, and the usual day-dreaming about our bikes. Because let’s be honest… planning the next upgrade is almost as good as riding. Almost. From WKD we cruised over to Amuri for the customary “just one drink”… which, as always, turned into a couple. Great vibe, great company, and the

It was a quiet afternoon in a small village square in Malta. My wife and I were sitting beside our Harley, enjoying a relaxed coffee (not necessarily true) and watching the world move at its gentle Mediterranean pace. Suddenly, an elegant elderly lady approached us with a warm and curious expression. She looked at our motorcycle and asked a simple yet profound question: “Why do motorcycle riders always have a smile?” As a proud Harleyista, I knew exactly what she meant. Her q

Our first official event of the year kicked off with the AGM. Boringly normal? Not a chance. Not with La Valette. Even though the weather gods clearly woke up on the wrong side of the clouds, the event was a real bash, with a strong turnout that proved once again—we ride rain or shine (well… almost). The day didn’t exactly start on a high note. Due to wet roads, strong winds, and the promise of even more rain, we had to cancel the ride. Not ideal—but safety first, chrome seco

Eight Years of Brotherhood, Harley Spirit, and the HOG Lifestyle Eight years ago, a simple need brought a group of Harley‑Davidson enthusiasts together on the island of Malta. They were riders who wanted more than just owning a Harley—they wanted to live the full Harley lifestyle, share the road, and create a community that stretched far beyond the island’s shores. From that moment, La Valette Malta was born, and it has never looked back. From its earliest days, the group foc

New year. New calendar. Clear skies. Cool temperatures. Dry roads. Great crowd. Amazing vibes. One seriously sexy parking lot! Yes, we kicked off 2026 with a bang. The riding gods smiled upon us with a perfect winter day—and sure as hell, we didn’t waste it. It all started at Kettles. Yes, our usual haunt. Solid turnout. Plenty of catching up to do, because we hadn’t seen each other since last year… so you know how that goes. The vibe was so good the briefing started late (su
