President Pavel leads Harley-Davidson ride through Prague

More than 800 iconic motorcycles took to the streets of Prague on Saturday within the traditional Prague Harley Days ride. The parade was led by President Petr Pavel, who rode through the capital on his Harley-Davidson.

President Pavel is a passionate motorcycle rider and motorsport enthusiast.

The Prague Harley Days is one of Europe’s largest celebrations of the iconic American motorcycle brand. The event is being held over two days this year, with the programme getting under way on Friday.

The festival also features a Harley-Davidson motorcycle exhibition and a custom-bike competition. One of this year’s attractions is a jump performed on a 200-kilogram Harley-Davidson Sportster Forty-Eight as part of an FMX show. The stunt will be performed by French rider Julien Mannon.
