Women Riders Have Chance to Join Harley-Davidson
Daytona Women's Day Ride
Daytona Bike Week Women's Activities Announced
MILWAUKEE (January 11, 2007) – Harley-Davidson
female enthusiasts are encouraged to enter for a chance to win a spot on
the Harley-Davidson Women's Day Ride, held March 4, 2008, and join Karen
Davidson, great-granddaughter of one of the Company's founders, as well as
the six Get Down to Daytona contest winners on the last leg of their ride
into Daytona.
To enter, women riders should go to www.harley-davidson.com/womensride
by Jan. 23 and fill out a short entry form. There is no purchase
necessary, but women are encouraged to raise money for the Muscular
Dystrophy Association (MDA) Summer Camps (a small donation of $25 or more
is greatly appreciated). Women riders must ride a Harley-Davidson or Buell
motorcycle and must be in Daytona on the morning of March 4.
On Jan. 25, 80 women will be randomly chosen to
participate in the ride. Each rider will receive a 2008 MDA Pin, a special
flag with MDA and H-D logo for their bike, and be entered in a special MDA
drawing for a Harley-Davidson women's jacket. The top three fundraisers
will also receive a special gift.
Daytona Bike Week Women's Activities
Tuesday, March 4, is Harley-Davidson Women's Day at the Ocean Center. The
Women's Day Ride will arrive at the Ocean Center at approximately 10 a.m.
Upon arrival, Karen Davidson will introduce the six winners of the Get
Down to Daytona contest. Interactive seminars will be given throughout
the day on how to pick up a motorcycle, customization and MotorClothes.
More details will be announced in the next few weeks.
At the Daytona International Speedway Wednesday,
March 5, from 4:30 p.m. – 6 p.m., there will be women-only demo rides on
select 2008 Harley-Davidson and Buell motorcycles. Demos are free, but
riders will need to bring a helmet (full-face helmet and long pants for
Buell demos) and a valid motorcycle license. Each woman who takes a demo
ride during that time will be automatically entered into a drawing for a
women's helmet. Men who come along with the women who participate in this
special demo time will have the opportunity to attend a customization
seminar and Q&A session with a Harley-Davidson factory technician.
All week at the Ocean Center, March 2-8 from 10
a.m. – 5 p.m., women can visit the Harley-Davidson Interactive Women's
Area featuring giveaways and prizes, motorcycle information, and a
historical and informational women's display.
