The Heat Is On!

And yes, summer is officially here. Sunset rides, shiny chrome, and that unmistakable Harley rumble… what’s not to love?

Yesterday, Malta Chapter took Gozo by storm with the thunder of 45 gleaming Harleys. And Gozo? Well, Gozo is Gozo. Laid-back vibes, narrow roads with plenty of character (and a few bumps), breathtaking scenery, and a genuine love for Harley-Davidson. Safe to say, we love Gozo right back.

Step by step, here’s how the day unfolded.

We gathered at our usual spot in Mrieħel — nearly 70 members strong. A fantastic turnout, although with that many people, it’s impossible to catch up with everyone.

First came the briefing.

Then came the important stuff… vanity time.

And then, with engines firing up and smiles all around, we rolled out towards Ċirkewwa and boarded the historic Nikolaus ferry. It’s older than me… and trust me, that’s saying something!

Once in Gozo, we headed to Nadur where reserved parking awaited us in the piazza. A warm welcome, plenty of nibbles at Adriana’s (always a pleasure), cold drinks, lots of laughter, and the kind of bonding that only happens when bikers get together.

Oh, and naturally… more vanity time.

Next stop: Ghajnsielem and the San Gużepp Club.

We pretty much took the place over.

A perfect breeze, excellent service, great food, chilled drinks, and yes… even more vanity time. At one point, a few stadium-style fan moments broke out. Let’s just say our talents are better suited to riding Harleys than leading football stadium Ola!

Was that enough?

Not even close.

So off we went to Sonia’s in Qala for one last stop and another drink. After all, HOG members seem to get thirsty more often than Harleys need fuel.

Before we knew it, it was Cinderella time. A quick dash back to the ferry and across the channel to the main rock.

Just half a day, but packed with everything that makes Malta Chapter special: great riding, great company, plenty of laughs, stunning views, and memories made along the way.

Summer, bring it on.

Malta Chapter is warmed up, fired up, and fully revved up
