Tampa Bay Women Riders Day

Divas Debi, Chris and Sharon got up very early this morning and headed out to the Women Riders Day Event at Brandon Harley Davidson in the Tampa, Florida area. 

The ladies-only event included seminars by Genevieve Schmitt, motorcycling journalist and founder of WomenRidersNow.com.  Her first seminar was "Making The Dream Come True:  How To Get Into Motorcycling" for the non-riders of the group and the other was "Making More Saddle Time," in which strategies were given for how to make more time for yourself and your motorcycle. (No, women never put themselves last...)  

Genevieve giving a seminar to those who are on the fence about riding on their own.

There were also 15-minute clinics on customizing your bike, caring for your bike, packing for a trip and, as much as we hate to think about it happening, picking up a fallen motorcycle. There was also a ladies ride, a fashion show of Harley Davidson's women's summer line of clothing, giveaways, and a nice lunch was included. 

There were also quite a few -- 20 or more? -- vendors that had set up booths for products, clothing, jewelry, etc. geared specifically for women riders.  The Orlando Chrome Divas also had a booth set up and ended up speaking with a woman who is now interested in starting a Tampa chapter.  We'll look forward to partnering up with them in the future for rides and events!

Yes we do!
