VARADERO, Cuba - The rumble and roar of vintage motorbikes returned to the main beach resort of Varadero this weekend when fans and owners of classic Harley-Davidsons met for the seventh consecutive year.

It was the annual meeting of "Harlistas Cubanos", a club of Harley-Davidson aficionados where more than 80 participants exhibited their bikes in the central park of the town, which lies about 145 kilometers east of Havana.
