I'll chuck in The Bulldog Bash - UK in August. I'll leave it to others to classify it on the 1-5 scale.

2 offerings
1. The Stella Alpina.
It runs every year on the second Sunday in July in Badonechia, but whisper it quietly to keep the numbers manageable.
2. The Moto Piston club meeting in northern Spain around October each year.
Both are 5 out of 5 IMHO, but very different from each other.

Why do you "need" these? Who is the survey you refer to in post #1 for?

Gawd, don't go near that event. I stumbled across it by accident this past September whilst riding from Switzerland to Turkey.
It was a disaster - thousands and thousands of Harley riders (almost all of whom had shipped their bikes there by road freight) riding around the town at 10 km/h, shouting 'show us your tits' and generally converting fuel to noise and  to piss...
I was NOT impressed. It was a friggin' fetish convention, not a riders' event.

Each to their own
I ride a Harley (and a Victory) and managed to make it to Faakersee for a day this year under my own steam. It is a major biker event in Europe, which is what was asked for, it's also quite amusing watching big fat Germans pretending to be big fat Americans for the week. We all enjoy different aspects of motorcycling, so don't knock it.

I suppose it depends on what individuals regard as top events. They may not necessarily be the largest or attract the most riders in many people's eyes.
My votes would go to:-
Ripley HU meet.
Farmyard - North Yorkshire
Dragon - Wales
A couple I would like to go to sometime:-
TT week,
Faro
I've been to some of the big Harley European rallies and Laconia in the US. I enjoyed them, but the main attraction for me now would be the ride there and back.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
