HOG-POD ditched the studio again to visit the Ireland Bikefest 2024. Ride outs, demo rides, and of course plenty of entertainment through the days and evenings. We opted for the Dingle ride out and we were treated to some of the most spectacular scenary. Totally blessed by sunny weather from the second we arrived to the second we left, it couldn't have been a better weekend.

A huge thank you to the best H.O.G Chapter (in my mind) Belfast Chapter for the best company and such good fun over the weekend. Also a big shout out both the Celtic Thunder H.O.G Chapter and the Gaelic H.O.G Chapter who worked extremely hard over the weekend. Also a big thanks to Dublin Harley-Davidson and Waterford Harley-Davidson for all they did across the weekend also.

Over 300 people got in to the saddle of the 2024 fleet of Harley -Davidson thanks to the field te4am from H-D including Dave Macpherson and Gordy Dick. It was here that the HOG Chapters really got stuck into work.

There was also the Kerry Tattoo Convention, with some incredible tattoo artists from around the world. We managed to get a few minutes with the mind behind its creation and organisation.

Comedian John Bishop led the Sunday Grand Parade and also judged the Custom Bike Show.

Great to meet so many people from right across the motorcycle world including Melissa, from Motorbike Women Ireland for women riders right across the island of Ireland.
