Hundreds of Harley-Davidson motorcycles ride through Prague on Saturday with President Pavel joining

Hundreds of Harley-Davidson motorcycles crossed Prague on Saturday, joined by President Petr Pavel and his wife Eva. The annual ride is part of the Prague Harley Days festival, now in its 13th year. Organizers expect up to 20,000 visitors at the Výstaviště grounds over the weekend.

President Pavel, known for his passion for fast machines, led the ride on a borrowed Harley while wearing his trademark red-and-black flannel shirt, a symbol from his presidential campaign. His wife followed on a motorcycle of another brand.

Most motorcycles carried Czech license plates, though many came from Germany, Poland, and Slovakia. After about an hour on Prague’s streets, across Nuselský Bridge and along the Vltava River, the group returned to Výstaviště, where visitors could view the bikes up close.
