Thousands of motorcyclists from Southern Bulgaria gathered in Plovdiv for the first motorcycle season opening event of the year. The bikers paraded with an impressive motorcade through the streets of the city and continued towards Bachkovo Monastery, where a prayer service for a safe season was held.

70-year-old Georgi Milev from Plovdiv participated in the opening of the motorcycle season for the 55th time. "The most important thing is that I haven’t fallen, I haven’t had an accident. The motorcycle runs fast, and it also runs slowly. You have to think when you ride it", Georgi Milev told Daniela Dobreva from BNR Plovdiv.

This season also started with a charity event in support of a young girl with health problems.
