Harley-Davidson Celebrates 2nd Annual Women Riders Month
This May, Harley-Davidson® will celebrate the 2nd Annual Women Riders Month, which aims to inspire women everywhere to get behind the handlebars of their own motorcycle and discover adventure and freedom on two wheels. Harley-Davidson dealerships around the world are celebrating Women Riders Month by hosting rides and parties that honor women riders – the fastest growing demographic in the motorcycle industry since 1990.
"We know thousands of women around the world have been thinking about embracing motorcycling, but have never twisted the throttle of their own Harley," says Leslie Prevish, Women's Outreach Manager for Harley-Davidson Motor Company. "Women Riders Month aims to open the door for these new riders to take that first step toward experiencing this exhilarating sport for themselves, as well as celebrate the thousands of women who've already taken life by the handlebars."Group Ride and Downtown Street Party: On Saturday, May 22, ride alongside hundreds of other motorcyclists celebrating women riders. The Group Ride will start at the Summerfest Grounds and finish at a downtown street party, featuring live music, food and more motorcycle fun. Women and men interested in joining the group ride can register at www.harley-davidson.com/womenriders.
