Susan G. Komen Chapter benefit ride September 14, 2008

The Ladies of Harley foster an environment in which both lady riders and passengers can feel comfortable.  For those who attend an L.O.H. event, they will experience the camaraderie, fellowship, learning and fun that are atthe heart of motorcycling. We also wish to extend an invitation to the men riders of our H.O.G. chapter that would like to add their support to our female enthusiast. Ladies of Harley is not another organization. It is a membership benefit for women to feel even more a part of H.O.G. Use our Chapter website calendar for dates, time and location of our quarterly meetings. Please email Donna Shimabuku with any questions you may have.

HARLEY-DAVIDSON® ENCOURAGES WOMEN TO RIDE

 More women are taking to the open road on motorcycles than ever before, and Harley-Davidson® wants to encourage female ridership and inspire even greater numbers to take life by the handlebars.

There are more than 4.3 million female motorcyclists on the road today, and according to the Motorcycle Industry Council’s most recent research, the number of female motorcycle riders increased 34 percent between 1998 and 2003. In fact, the number of women who have purchased new Harley-Davidson® motorcycles has tripled over the past 20 years, and women now account for nearly 12 percent of new Harley owners.

The Harley-Davidson® Motor Company is doing its part in promoting two-wheel transportation amongst the fairer sex by releasing “We Ride - The Harley-Davidson® Guide for Women,” a special 48-page riding guide geared toward women to give them a basic overview of what a new rider needs to know about getting into the sport.

The guide, which can be picked up at local dealerships or available online at www.harley-davidson.com/womenriders, features information on how and where women can learn to ride, with details on the Rider's Edge New Rider Course, the best way to fit a motorcycle for a woman's ergonomic and functional needs, getting involved with riding groups, and inspirational stories from other women who ride.
LADIES OF HARLEY MEMORIES CONTEST
 

There was a time when a woman riding a motorcycle was looked at with scorn. Thankfully, those days are long gone – thanks, in large part, to the many women who ride their own Harley-Davidson® motorcycles. We celebrate those women with the Ladies of Harley® (LOH) – and encourage them to share their stories with the LOH Motorcycling Memories Contest.

(You must be an active full, full life, associate, or associate life member of H.O.G.® to be affiliated with Ladies of Harley. Although LOH is free of charge, this benefit is not automatic. If you would like to join, update your membership profile to include LOH.)

If you have a great story to tell (everyone does, even if they don't realize it), put your words to paper and send them in, along with a quality color photo of you and your bike. You may find yourself appearing in Hog Tales® and on the H.O.G.® Web site – and clutching a $500 H.O.G. gift certificate.
