Motorcycling in Malta is often perceived today as a modern response to congestion, lifestyle freedom, or leisure culture. Yet the roots of motorcycles on the island stretch back more than a century and are deeply intertwined with Malta’s colonial past, wartime experience, migration patterns, and changing social aspirations. Over the last hundred years, motorcycles in Malta have evolved from utilitarian military tools and working-class transport into cultural symbols, leisure

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

December kicked off with our traditional showdown: humans vs. Christmas tree. We met at WKD on Saturday morning, bravely ready to take on this monumental task. Spirits were high… and for safety reasons, we armed ourselves with mulled wine and mince pies. Purely for morale, of course. With a dozen supervisors and only two actual workers, the job went surprisingly smoothly. Funny how that happens. The morning cruised by like a dream — garage Saturdays always have their own char

We just boarded the ferry on our way back to the Rock after the HOG Inverno event in Salerno… and wow, what a weekend! Memories, memories, memories. Yes, it’s HOG Inverno. Yes, it was cold. Yes, we had some beautiful sunny days. And yes, we also got our fair share of rain on the road. All as expected… or was it? Truth is, every HOG event is special, and this year’s Inverno was no exception. As usual, La Valette rolled in strong to join our Etna Chapter buddies. Some rode all

For much of their history, motorcycle helmets have been as much about self-expression as protection—and the earliest helmets didn’t provide much of the latter. Back when football players wore soft leather helmets, motorcycles were just starting to dot the American countryside and city streets. Speeds were lower and there was no traffic density. Those first motorcycle “helmets” were made of thin leather or cloth, and primarily succeeded in keeping the wearer’s hair in place. T

After months of planning, fundraising, and countless hours of hard work by our amazing LOH (seriously, you make us all proud!), the big charity weekend finally arrived. But let’s take it step by step. Saturday was pure fun. A solid group of us met at WKD to prepare the San Martin bags. Massive thanks to our generous sponsors—Alfsons, Christian Micallef, Maypole, Sottozero, Cala Lido and Keys Pub. Without your contributions, none of this would have been possible. You rock—full
