Harley-Davidson riders get ready to roll into Queenstown

Thousands of Harley-Davidson riders from across New Zealand are gearing up for one of biggest motorcycle events on the calendar as the 2015 Iron Run converges on Queenstown from 20 - 21 March.

Marking 25 years of the Harley Owners Group (HOG) in New Zealand, throngs of Harley-Davidson enthusiasts are riding in unison from Auckland, Hamilton, Palmerston North, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin - winding through the country's world-renowned rolling mountains - before the convening in Queenstown this weekend.

Adam Wright, Director of Marketing for Harley-Davidson Australia & New Zealand expects the event to be one of the biggest two wheeled gatherings of the year.

"The 2015 Iron Run is going to be one awesome party. We've got riders and enthusiasts coming from all over New Zealand, Australia and even further afield to be part of this event which celebrates everything we love about motorcycles. He said.

"Queenstown is one of the world's most iconic tourist destinations, with some of the greatest roads found anywhere. We're very excited to be visiting this motorcycling paradise and share our passion for riding bikes with the local Queenstown community. We're encouraging the public to come out in force because this is going to be a one of a kind spectacle."

The 2015 Iron Run features the Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Show, music and live entertainment, interactive displays, guided rides and other activities. The event will culminate with more than two thousand motorcycles riding together through the streets of Queenstown in a unique display for the public.
