Many wanted to try H-D Pan America.
New to this year’s Straand event were Ducati and Harley-Davidson.

We would like to thank you for an extremely successful and well-executed Straand Treff.
More and more people have opened their eyes to this great event, which is set to become Norway’s most important meeting place for dealers, motorcyclists and various interest organizations.
In addition to being able to try out the bikes you want, you also have the opportunity to refresh your knowledge through great and inspiring lectures.
We’re already looking forward to next year.
