That's why festivals like this are important and we always support them. The plan is to fit into the whole atmosphere and entertain people. The motorcycle meeting in Klis is brilliantly strategically placed, regardless of the summer heat. It's not that bad in the evening, even I can handle it. I'm glad you started this, especially because it has a humanitarian aspect.", said Sejo.

Fierce guys with big hearts

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the patrons and sponsors who have enabled us to give the Klis Moto Meet the title of the most attractive biker party. Although it is a Moto Meet, everyone who wants to feel a touch of our world is welcome.", he said Mijo Smodlak, president of Free Riders, a motorcycle club from Klis known for its humanitarian work, which has 26 members from 20 to 70 years old.

"It's no small thing for our municipality and it's not small money. I also remembered some deceased members of the motorcycle club, who would be happy to see how the club functions today. And only someone with a lot of courage and top organizational skills can organize and design a motorcycle meeting at a location like Kočinje Brdo.", said the mayor of Klis, inviting everyone who loves great music and spectacular entertainment to come to Klis on Friday and Saturday.

Rock'n'roll lives behind the hills

Ivana Vladović, director of the Split-Dalmatia County Tourist Board, pointed out that the Klis motorcycle meetings confirmed that there is room for everyone in Dalmatia, and that rock'n'roll lives behind the hills.

"Today's motorcyclists are not loners. They are people who travel, meet and share stories, who are environmentally and humanitarianly aware, and it is precisely this humanitarian note of the Klis Free Riders that gives added value to the whole story, which brings in better and better musical names year after year. The Split-Dalmatia County Tourist Board will continue to support such events, and I wish the organizers much success.", said Vladović.
