SORRY FELLAS, THIS GARAGE IS FOR LADIES ONLY
Northwest Harley Davidson is hosting a Garage Party for Women Interested in Motorcycles
- Over the past decade, women have increasingly embraced the sport of motorcycling - seeking the freedom and escape associated with an open road, polished chrome and a sweet sounding engine. Currently 12% of new Harley-Davidson purchasers are women, compared to just 4% in 1990. The Motorcycle Industry Council estimates that one in 10 U.S. motorcyclists is a woman.
But while thousands of women live their lives on the open road, many remain stuck in neutral and unsure where to start, commenting that "I would love to learn how to ride, but..." To help, Northwest Harley Davidson in Lacey, WA is hosting a free, women-only Garage Party event at their dealership between 6-8pm on October 16th
Intimidation-Free Zone
The Harley-Davidson Garage Party event provides an inviting environment for women to learn more about motorcycling and to meet other women who are interested in riding. Party guests can expect activities that will be both entertaining and informational with topics including a review of the basic motorcycle controls, how to customize a motorcycle's ergonomics and how to choose proper riding gear.
"Women and men ride for the same reasons - freedom, adventure and individuality...its how they get going that can take a different path," said Julio Valdenegro, General Manager of Northwest Harley-Davidson. "Women tend to spend more time investigating the sport prior to getting involved. Garage Party events give women an interactive way to gather information and have fun doing it."
The Party Plan
Garage Party event attendees are organized into small groups, getting their first taste of the camaraderie that goes along with riding. Groups will visit four informational stations, including:
~Motorcycle Orientation' to learn the basic differences between Harley-Davidson model families and Buell motorcycle families.
~MotorClothes' to discover the important attributes needed in head-to-toe motorcycle gear.
~Motorcycle Fit and Function' to learn how to customize a motorcycle to reflect a rider's personal style and ergonomic needs.
~ How to Pick Up a Motorcycle' to show that just about anyone can handle the weight of a motorcycle.
Between stations, women get the chance to interact with each other, as well as hear from women who are already living their motorcycle dreams.
