Three years ago, I bought my first Harley<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> \u2013 a 2009 Nightster<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> 1200, and I love customising it in my spare time. There\u2019s something incredibly rewarding about turning a bike into your own personal project; it creates a connection that\u2019s hard to explain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My love for Harley-Davidson started young. One Christmas, I got a miniature Harley model with a tiny rider. It was my favourite toy and I carried it everywhere in my pocket \u2013I still have it today, 24 years later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a teenager, I used to sit with my dad watching <em>American Chopper<\/em>. That was the first time I saw a customised Harley, and I was fascinated by all the work that went into each detail. It really stuck with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, meeting people from different countries, sharing meals, celebrating together and riding through incredible landscapes with that signature Harley roar, it\u2019s no longer just a teenage dream. With every kilometre, it\u2019s becoming more real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My most recent road trip took a route through Teide National Park in Tenerife. Wow, what a ride! It\u2019s a place I\u2019ll never forget. We began the route at Hard Rock Tenerife, then rode up TF-38 and TF-21 to El Portillo and the paved summit of Mount Teide. From there, we descended towards Santa Cruz through the La Esperanza, where winding roads snake through thick trees on either side of beautiful, well-kept asphalt. I can\u2019t wait for my next adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some photos of the landscapes, plus my \u201cride or die\u201d Gala, and my beloved sportster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"3986\" src=\"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image00002-1024x820.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3986\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"3987\" src=\"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image00008-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3987\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"3992\" src=\"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image00017-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"3991\" src=\"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image00016-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3991\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"3990\" src=\"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image00014-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3990\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"3989\" src=\"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image00010-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3989\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>H.O.G. member Diego \u2018Cocorekejo\u2019 Rodr\u00edguez shares the ride that took him through Tenerife\u2019s unforgettable volcanic landscapes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":3501,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[6,8],"class_list":["post-3660","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-stories","tag-community","tag-riding"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/sv-se\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3660","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/sv-se\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/sv-se\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/sv-se\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/sv-se\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3660"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/sv-se\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3660\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3661,"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/sv-se\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3660\/revisions\/3661"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/sv-se\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3501"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/sv-se\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3660"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/sv-se\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3660"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/sv-se\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3660"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
