La Valette - Malta

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 focused on keeping its members active, connected, and immersed in the Harley world. Week after week, year after year, La Valette Malta evolved into a vibrant community that rides together, celebrates together, and proudly represents its members within the global HOG family. The backbone of the group has always been its purpose: bringing Harley riders together. That purpose never changed; it only grew stronger. Over the years, the group deepened its ties with other HOG communities, especially in nearby Sicily, forging friendships through shared events, rides, and unforgettable adventures.

Who Are La Valette Malta?

La Valette Malta is a local group of passionate Harley‑Davidson riders who embrace the HOG lifestyle in full. The group forms part of the Etna HOG Chapter #7292, giving every member the full benefits of official HOG membership. The Catania Harley‑Davidson dealership recognizes La Valette Malta as part of the chapter, ensuring members are treated equally and enjoy all the privileges that come with being part of the global Harley family.

Membership in La Valette Malta opens the door to a world of opportunities. As part of Etna Chapter, members are automatically connected to riders across Europe and beyond, receiving invitations to international events and enjoying full support when planning trips to major HOG & national gatherings. The group maintains a full calendar of activities throughout the year, organizing weekly local rides across Malta, annual weekends in Sicily alongside other Sicilian chapters, seasonal get together events such as summer night rides, LOH Gala evenings, and HOGs by the Pool, as well as social gatherings like Carnival and Halloween parties. Charity rides are also an important part of the group’s identity, often organized in collaboration with the Ladies of Harley to support children and community organizations in need.

The clubhouse at WKD Works, Attard serves as the group’s home base—a place where members meet, relax, and share their passion for motorcycles. Beyond the rides and events, La Valette Malta is a source of knowledge and support. Members help each other with mechanical advice, customization ideas, route planning, and travel recommendations. Ask a question, and you’ll receive an honest, experienced answer from someone who has lived the journey.

A Year Packed with Action

This past year was filled with activity. The group rode to every corner of Malta and participated in major events such as Trinacria in Sicily and Calabrone in Calabria. Members also rode to Harley Davidson Festivals and HOG Events in Europe. One of the group's highlights was the Island to Island Weekend, where multiple HOG Chapters from Sicily and Italy joined La Valette Malta for three days of riding, food, fun, and celebration. Even during the scorching Maltese summer, the engines never cooled, with evening rides and special events keeping the community alive and buzzing.

Staying Connected Beyond the Road

During the week, while life gets busy, the group stays connected through social media. Every ride is documented with detailed reports and photo galleries across all digital platforms, including the official website. It’s the perfect bridge from one weekend to the next, keeping the spirit alive until the engines roar again.

Looking Ahead to 2026

January marks the renewal of memberships and the start of another exciting year. The EXCO is already prepared to launch the 2026 calendar, with the first official gathering set for the 1st of February. The motto for the year captures the group’s energy perfectly: “Less talk, more rides.” This is the spirit that keeps La Valette Malta thriving—proud, united, and always ready for the next adventure. Members wear their colors with pride, representing the largest Harley group on the island, built on participation, passion, and the shared love of the open road.
