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.
