Metzeler opens a new chapter in the group's emotional story, enough tyres to keep every MOCLA member rolling - campaign to feature photographs donated by Michael Lichter and the documentary film on the same topic .

Havana, Cuba (June 9, 2009) - Metzeler Motorcycle Tyre is delighted to provide the gift of motorcycle tyres to the Club of Classical Motorbikes in Cuba (MOCLA), a dedicated group of Harley-Davidson enthusiasts who represent the spirit of Metzeler by keeping bikes which predate the 1960's era in working order. A number of its members were recently featured in the movie Cuban Harlistas, a 50-min documentary-type film by Guido Giansoldati exploring the passions and difficulties they have endured in order to ride Harleys in Cuba. The 70 sets of tyres were presented this past weekend in Havana to MOCLA president, Luis Enrique, who welcomed world famous motorcycle photographer Michael Lichter for the presentation and a road tour.
