Queenstown, New Zealand: Thousands of Harley-Davidson® riders from across New Zealand are readying themselves 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 famous rolling mountains – before the convening in Queenstown this weekend.
