La Valette - Malta




A Century on Two Wheels: The Evolution of Motorcycling in Malta
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

Forget perfection. Let’s just make it a tango to remember!
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

One Hell of a Santa!
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

A chilly Inverno it was!
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

Hey, Handsome!
The day we’ve all been waiting for finally arrived—the 35th Fatboy Anniversary Run! The excitement had been building for weeks, and the anticipation was off the charts. We gathered at our usual spot in Mriehel—Kettles. And let me tell you, the numbers were strong. Over 40 bikes rolled in, with nearly half of them being Fatboys. All gleaming in the sun and ready to hit the road. But it wasn’t just the numbers that were impressive… oh no. We had 19 Fatboys in total, and what a

OMG, What a Fat Sausage!
Yes folks — Garage Saturdays are back! Yes, it’s the Fat Boy Anniversary weekend! Put the two together and you’ve got one hell of a Saturday… La Valette style. After a full week of sacrifice by Adrian (who somehow managed to create space at WKD — a miracle worthy of sainthood), it was our turn to take over. The menu? Sausages, dips, fresh rolls, beer, laughter, friends, bikes, more laughter… you know, the usual La Valette special. It was a vibrant Saturday morning — 30+ membe

No Fatboy!!...Oh boy!
And just like that, the Fatboy Anniversary Weekend arrived! We were all ready to roll—plans made, members pumped, media lined up… the only wild card? The weather. Yep, prayers have allegedly been heard, so let’s talk about those divine messages for a moment. Legend has it, back in ancient Mesopotamia (around 3000 BCE), folks started praying to Enlil for rain. Their way of saying “please rain” included clay tablets with “Rain Plz 🙏” written on them—talk about old-school hasht

Sun, Sprints & Sunday Rides
And yessss... we won the hurdles race! 🏆 Getting back to our Sunday rides had its own challenges. First and foremost — October weather is always a gamble. But hey, this time we got lucky. Secondly, we had to “creatively navigate” around a few roadblocks and those ever-popular trap stations set up by the authorities (all in the name of road safety, of course). But we managed! And so, a smooth ride it was! We met at our usual hotspot in Mriehel at 9:30 sharp. Kettles always tr
