Ladies Garage Party at Stormy Hill Harley Davidson

On August 8, 2009, Stormy Hill Harley Davidson in Clermont hosted a Ladies Garage Party. Hmmm, a day full of motorcycle information for ladies, with ladies and about lady riders, with food and drinks included? Of course we were there!

Victoria, Trish, Chris, Debi, Melissa and Donna

Divas Melissa, Debi, Victoria, Trish, Terri, Donna and Chris met at the Pizza Hut on 436 in Apopka and headed out for a beautiful Saturday morning ride through some of Lake County's back roads to Stormy Hill Harley Davidson. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly by the staff and served Mimosas and soft drinks. Everyone in our group, being some of the first 50 women to arrive, recieved free gifts, including a Stormy Hill coffee mug -- hope that fits in your cup holder, Melissa! -- a kickstand pad, lip balm, playing cards and a compact mirror all wrapped in a "Don't Drink & Drive" bandana.

Stormy Hill's very own Chef Brian served a fabulous lunch of fresh, green salad, rolls and a pasta mix with red sauce. For dessert, it was mint chocolate chip ice cream pie and crème brûlée. Yum-o!

Some of the guest speakers:

• Marg, a leathersmith, taught us how to care for our leathers and how to roll up chaps so that they do not become damaged when they are not being worn.
• Dennis of Stormy Hill HD spoke about driver and passenger safety and proper pre-ride inspection.
• One of Stormy Hill's mechanics spoke about basic motorcycle maintenance and followed up with a Q&A session.
• Attorney Brent Miller gave tips about how to work with your lawyer and insurance company if you are ever in an accident.

There were quite a few very nice prizes raffled off, and Melissa took advantage of the 20% discount given to each lady who attended and purchased new boots and a hat.

The Orlando Chrome Divas made some wonderful new friends and met other women's riding groups that we will certainly be working with on future charity events. It was an incredible day and we all thank the owner of Stormy Hill Harley Davidson, Janice Malik, for putting this event together. We would also like to thank the entire staff at Stormy Hill for making us all feel so welcome.
