is non-existent, so a group of Harley-riding for-
eigners certainly attracts plenty of attention.
Harley Davidson motorcycles have a long his-
tory in Cuba. From 1917 onwards the first Harley
motorcycles and parts were on sale in Cuba’s
two biggest cities. Prior to the US Embargo
on Cuba, (which began in 1960 and continues
today), both the Police and Military used Har-
ley Davidson models almost exclusively, and
by the 1950s Harleys were all the rage in Cuba.
There was even a group of dare-devil police
officers called Team Acrobática who travelled
around Cuba performing death-defying tricks
on their Harleys. While there are still a few high-
ly-prized vintage Harleys in Cuba, late model
ones are not exactly thick on the ground.
From September 22 to October 5, 2018 we
a re running another motorcycle tour in Cuba.
We work with a Cuban based company and use
their late-model Harley Davidson machines.
The tour starts and finishes in Havana and in-
corporates a look at not only the tourist clichés
like retro cars and buildings, but also auténtica
Cuba (authentic Cuba). Riding a Harley offers
up an avenue for some great conversations
with locals over a shared love of the motorcycle.
And to this end, during our tours we meet and
ride with some local Harley enthusiasts from
the Harlistas Cubanos (Cuba’s Harley Club).
Britton Adventures has not scheduled a Cuba
tour for 2019, and as for future tours, well... who
knows? Cuba is changing so quickly that maybe
its appeal will be lost with the transformation.
