Seen on the street - Friday 26th

From early Friday morning the streets thronged with riders, and the bikes roared into town to meet up with H.O.G. friends from around the country. The weather was perfect and a full moon lit up the beach stage for the evening entertainment. Bill Davidson met up with local enthusiasts who celebrated H-D's 110th Anniversary.

Just over 110 000 people attended the event over the 3 days, and 3 242 bikes took part in the Mass Ride from Shelly Centre to Margate....

The sky's the limit for ABW 2013

Steve at Airserv Aerial Photograph flew down south to the biggest annual gathering of motor cycles in S.A. "We had the privilege of taking in the massed ride from an aerial perspective and Oh my Soul! This must be the closest that KZN gets to staging a dinkum mardi gras, with the marquees, bunting, flags, banners and a 24/7 party. The photos were undertaken in the most idyllic flying weather I have experienced in years. Everything was just right." See the photos
