Wrapping up a year full of adventures, smiles, and emotions all together — and what a year it has been!

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, blessed with perfect weather to kick things off with a bang. We closed the month with our AGM at the Corinthia Hotel, where important updates were shared, the 2025 calendar was launched, and new members were officially patched — injecting fresh energy and oxygen into the group.

February

February began with a ride dedicated to our newly patched members. Despite the wintery conditions, we kept our tradition alive with Saturday meet-ups at the clubhouse and Sunday morning rides. Thankfully, the weather treated us to a few perfect weekends that allowed us to fully enjoy the road.

March

March kicked off with our traditional Carnival Party at House of Flavours — a fantastic evening full of surprises, creative costumes, and great vibes, with The Great Siege as the theme. We were honoured to have one of the HD dealership director and his family join us. The celebrations continued the next day with a Sunday ride and a full-house lunch at The Marley’s, Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq, despite cloudy skies.

The month stayed busy with a Women’s Day meet-up at the clubhouse, followed by our Road Safety Weekend, raising awareness about riding skills and safety, and ending with a relaxed dinner at Hard Rock Café, Valletta Waterfront.

April

April started with a bang — the long-awaited Trinacria Event in Sicily. An unforgettable weekend of breathtaking rides, amazing food, and great parties, shared with H.O.G. riders from all over Sicily and southern Italy. Truly a weekend to remember.

Back on the rock, we kept riding and meeting every weekend, adding more miles and friendships along the way.

May

May brought sunshine and busy schedules. We hosted the Island-to-Island weekend, welcoming friends from Etna Chapter and Due Mari Chapter. Together we explored Mdina, Rabat, the Three Cities, Valletta, and wrapped up with a scenic ride ending in Żebbuġ for a farewell lunch.

We also proudly participated in the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride, riding in style for men’s health, followed by lunch overlooking St Julian’s Bay. Toward the end of the month, after a weather delay, we enjoyed a perfect Gozo ride, stopping at Nadur for pastizzi, Dwejra, and finishing with lunch at D Bar, Qala.

June

June saw several members riding all the way to Croatia for the European H.O.G. Rally. Shared memories and photos proved it was one of the best trips yet, with stunning coastal roads leading to Medulin. A big salute to those who took on the challenge despite the heat.

July

With summer heat in full force, we switched to sunset and evening rides, meeting every weekend without exception. The month ended with an elegant LOH Gala Evening at the Marriott, Balluta, kicking off LOH fundraising activities for charity.

August

August kept the momentum going with evening meet-ups, building anticipation for the Calabrone weekend. The month ended with H.O.G. Day by the Pool, a perfect summer celebration with chilled drinks, good food, loud music — and proof that most H.O.G.s can indeed float!

September

Despite high humidity, we continued our popular evening rides. Members also attended a photography workshop led by René Rossignaud, who shared valuable tips and stories from his remarkable career.

Then came the Calabrone Event in Calabria — 30 bikes riding together to meet a wider H.O.G. community for a weekend packed with riding, food, and unforgettable fun. Later in the month, our LOH attended the Ladies National Run in Reggio Emilia, alongside friends from Etna Chapter.

October

We returned to Sunday morning rides, starting with a scenic stop at Mellieħa Square under blue skies. The month closed with our Halloween Party, a yearly highlight where members once again impressed with scary and creative costumes.

November

Although bad weather postponed the 35th Anniversary Fat Boy celebration, November started strong. We met on Saturday at the WKD showroom, followed by a full Sunday ride to Qrendi and Valletta, ending with a static display and filming at Valletta Waterfront and lunch at Hard Rock Café.

Later in the month, our LOH Charity Ride once again brought joy to children in homes and institutes through San Martin bags filled with sweets and goodies. Special thanks to our friends from Etna Chapter, who joined us for this meaningful day. We closed with lunch at Scicluna Farmhouse.

A smaller group also rode to Salerno for H.O.G. Inverno, adding more miles and friendships.

December

December began with our Annual Christmas Party at The Yard, Marsa, joined by Director Carmelo, his wife, and Leo from Etna Chapter. Traditions continued with decorating the clubhouse Christmas tree, some of our members rode all the way to Enna for the Sicilian H.O.G. Christmas Party.

We kept to our tradition, and on the last Saturday before Christmas, we met at WKD showrrom for the Secret Santa, another joyful morning with members still trying to guess who was their Santa for this year!

On the road, we closed the year on 28th December with the last ride of the year, riding as one proud group from Kettles, Mrieħel to Armier Bay under perfect weather.

On the last days of this year, our LOH took the initiative to donate food to Fondazzjoni Sebh with the money collected during the events organized earlier this year and other donations given by various members.

Looking back, it has been another incredible year. Like life, we had our ups and downs — but we stayed true to our motto: always being on the road is what matters most.

We rode together, shared unforgettable moments, made great noise on every road we passed, and lived the true H.O.G. life.

Keep riding — and see you all next year for more fun and adventure together.
