Other groups from our Chapter had travelled separately and
soon we were encountering each other. The
Chapter flag was found in the centre of it on the back of one of their Harleys.
Once again, riders had come from all over Europe, north
Africa, and some other distant places, indulging in the spectacle of bikes on
display, every one different, some heavily customised to the point it was
difficult to see what they had been beforehand.
A few were vintage.
There were lots and lots of them.
The stage by the beach was set for 3 evenings of music with
several very good bands and other locations has live during the day as
rally-goers roamed the Harley stands to view and buy the vast array of
merchandise on display.
The Town Hall surrounded!
It was an fascinating blend of traditional Portuguese architecture, cobbled streets and tiled walls together with Milwaukee steel and merchandise! The weather was perfect for the 3 days. Two airplane stunt shows graced the area over the beach and water with displays and it is reported that 60,000 people and 12,000 bikes flocked to the resort to enjoy the spectacle.
