The motorcycle season in Latvia officially opens with a parade that leaves unfamiliar onlookers wide-eyed and open-mouthed. An estimated 3,500 motorcycles, stretching nearly two miles, makes a circuit around and through Riga city.
Founding members of the Motorcycle Club Association (MCA) of Latvia: Free Hawks Latvia, Brothers of the Wind, and Hermejs Latvia lead the group. Riders on all things two-wheel, from Harley-Davidson and Kawasaki to Ural, Jawa and Riga mopeds take part in the season-opening tradition.
