La Valette - Malta

And so together on the 10th of April they came, one by one and two by two! Their destiny intertwined with one drive, one common passion: Harley Davidson motorcycles! The round table was rich in colour, experience and loyalty and respect. By a stroke of luck history dictated that the many members of the La Vallette and the Malta Chapters were to unite under one umbrella, that of the Catania Harley Davidson dealership. A new Executive Committee was elected from the previous ent

What a run this has been… a great run… an amazing run… and yes, one hell of a blast! I never thought I’d be the one writing this final note—but here we are. Life has a funny way of putting you in the rider’s seat when you least expect it. Being one of the newer members, I can honestly say that La Valette exceeded every expectation. Saying the group was “alive” doesn’t quite cut it—it was a full-on, roaring engine. Vibrant, positive, and constantly pulling in new blood. And so

The gods blessed us with some proper riding weather—just in time for what might have been La Valette’s last Sunday run. 9:00 am. Kettles on. Chrome shining. Engines rumbling. Now that’s a combination we can all get behind. As always, a strong crew turned up—good numbers, great energy, and the usual mix of coffee, banter, and harmless debate. Topic of the day? The possible merger of LVM with Malta Chapter… serious stuff. But let’s be honest—none of that stood a chance once Hac

Time for Salutamu. This was a first-timer for Salutamu — and what a debut! Big thumbs up for the idea, La Valette 👏 It all kicked off on Wednesday evening: engines rumbling, spirits high, and a solid crew ready for a proper adventure. After the usual Virtu Ferries banter (you know the type…), we headed for a quick dinner in Pozzallo. Nothing fancy — just fuelling up for what was ahead. Thursday was a more relaxed affair. We rode out to Ortigia — great weather, great food, no

Yet another weekend… and yes, more rain. Zeus must have one serious short circuit going on in his system. Come on, bro — sort it out! Saturday, thankfully, was good. Boringly amazing, in the best possible way. We met up at WKD for the usual chats, laughs, and plenty of Salutamu planning. After that, we rolled over to our regular pit stop at Amuri. I have to say… I really love our Garage Saturdays. Good bikes, good people, and the usual dose of nonsense — perfect. Sunday, howe

Member of La Valette Malta, dedicated Harley rider, hotel management professional and above all a proud family man. Getting to know Omar; Let’s start with the man behind the handlebars. Omar, tell us a bit about yourself – your career in hotel management, your daily life and how you balance work, family, and your passions. Well, let me start with the most important part of my life, my family. At the end of the day, titles, hotels, strategies and KPIs all come and go, but fami

First full March weekend of the month — and we made sure to make it a good one. Friday tried to scare us a little. The weather looked like it wanted to spoil the weekend and give us a proper soaking. Instead, we just got a light drizzle. Honestly, it felt more like a quick road-cleaning service before the weekend ride. So thanks for that, Zeus. Saturday – The Usual (And We Like It That Way) Saturday means one thing: get the Harley out. Or… whatever bike you can get your hands

Yes, we had a few dry days… and in Malta that’s apparently all it takes to make grown adults emotional. But here we are! Dry days = dry B roads = amazing rides… and off we go. LVM wasn’t going to miss out. Saturday – Garage Day. The usual banter at WKD, followed by the traditional refuelling stop at Amuri. Let’s be honest — this is officially our Saturday HQ now 🙂 Was that enough? Oh no… not even close. After Amuri, a group of us rolled over to Avenue 77 for The Rotta meet-u

And finally, the weather gods granted us a dry and sunny winter weekend. FINALLY! On Saturday some of us gathered at our clubhouse at WKD for the usual Garage Saturday. It’s amazing how we always find the time — and the arguments — about bike improvements, customisations and future travel plans. Very impressive… and slightly suspicious 😄 Sunday was the day. Getting to Kettles in the morning was a bit of an ordeal. Thanks to the Malta Marathon, a lot of roads were closed to t

It’s been a while since we last wrote about it, but Garage Saturdays still rock — and yesterday was no exception. A solid crew rolled in at WKD for the weekly catch-up: coffee in hand, plenty of banter, and the usual day-dreaming about our bikes. Because let’s be honest… planning the next upgrade is almost as good as riding. Almost. From WKD we cruised over to Amuri for the customary “just one drink”… which, as always, turned into a couple. Great vibe, great company, and the

It was a quiet afternoon in a small village square in Malta. My wife and I were sitting beside our Harley, enjoying a relaxed coffee (not necessarily true) and watching the world move at its gentle Mediterranean pace. Suddenly, an elegant elderly lady approached us with a warm and curious expression. She looked at our motorcycle and asked a simple yet profound question: “Why do motorcycle riders always have a smile?” As a proud Harleyista, I knew exactly what she meant. Her q

February. St Paul’s Shipwreck weekend. Traditionally famous for really bad weather. But this time, after an abnormally wet winter (with more rain still on lay-by), we were properly graced by the riding gods. Long weekends are always a challenge. Some people travel, some escape the island, and some of us are off on “pleasure / group business” in our sister island. The rest? We do what we do best—put a few more miles on the clocks and meet up for the usual Sunday run. 8:59. Sil

Our first official event of the year kicked off with the AGM. Boringly normal? Not a chance. Not with La Valette. Even though the weather gods clearly woke up on the wrong side of the clouds, the event was a real bash, with a strong turnout that proved once again—we ride rain or shine (well… almost). The day didn’t exactly start on a high note. Due to wet roads, strong winds, and the promise of even more rain, we had to cancel the ride. Not ideal—but safety first, chrome seco

And just like that… He did. After a full week of wind, rain, and snow (yes, real snow — not that fake hail nonsense), and knowing the coming week wasn’t planning on being any kinder, we were blessed with a clear Sunday morning. And what do bikers do on a clear Sunday morning? They ride. Hell yeah, we ride. La Valette never misses moments like these. We kicked things off with an early coffee at Kettles. The usual banter, laughs, membership renewals, travel plans — in other wor

Eight Years of Brotherhood, Harley Spirit, and the HOG Lifestyle Eight years ago, a simple need brought a group of Harley‑Davidson enthusiasts together on the island of Malta. They were riders who wanted more than just owning a Harley—they wanted to live the full Harley lifestyle, share the road, and create a community that stretched far beyond the island’s shores. From that moment, La Valette Malta was born, and it has never looked back. From its earliest days, the group foc

New year. New calendar. Clear skies. Cool temperatures. Dry roads. Great crowd. Amazing vibes. One seriously sexy parking lot! Yes, we kicked off 2026 with a bang. The riding gods smiled upon us with a perfect winter day—and sure as hell, we didn’t waste it. It all started at Kettles. Yes, our usual haunt. Solid turnout. Plenty of catching up to do, because we hadn’t seen each other since last year… so you know how that goes. The vibe was so good the briefing started late (su

We kicked off the year on full throttle, continuing the momentum that began years ago and showing no signs of slowing down. The engines keep revving, the horsepower of brotherhood keeps growing, and our shared love and passion for Harley-Davidson motorcycles — with the true H.O.G. mindset — continues to evolve. Riding, meeting people, and building friendships on the road is a journey that never stops. January We started the year on 5th January with the first ride of the year,

Yes, the riding for 2025 is done. But before we parked the bikes, we had one last mission to handle — charity. Yes, our members are solid. Yes, our Ladies of Harley are something special. And yes, this puts La Valette top of the league — we show up, others try to keep up. So what was today? Just a normal Tuesday in December… or so it looked. Our own Phyllis (LOH), backed up by a few members, rolled out to deliver goodies and essential supplies to Fondazzjoni Sebħ in Ħamrun. T

Last ride of 2025—and it had to be a special one. The gods clearly agreed, blessing us with one of those picture-perfect Maltese winter days. Hats off, Malta… how can anyone not love you? As tradition demands, we met at our usual spot in Mrieħel, Kettles (always a pleasure). Cloudless skies, a healthy number of bikes, and spirits riding high. It felt like we hadn’t seen each other in ages. Chit-chat, coffees, hugs, and plenty of laughter all around. After a short briefing, we

Yeah, we love the Christmas season. Yeah, we love the Santa legend. Yeah, we love Secret Santa. And yeah… we love sticking together. So there was only one possible outcome — one hell of a Secret Santa do. Preparations kicked off early in the morning. Adrian was already on the job, tidying up the shop like a man on a mission, while the rest of the crew handled supplies. By 10am everything was locked and loaded, members started rolling in, and the fun officially began. The turn
