HARLEY-DAVIDSON
GARAGE
PARTY
THURSDAY,
MARCH
25TH
SORRY
FELLAS,
THIS
GARAGE
IS
FOR
LADIES
ONLY
Brothers’
Harley-Davidson
Hosts
Garage
Party™
for
Women
Interested
in
Motorcycles
Over
the
past
decade,
women
have
increasingly
embraced
the
sport
of
motorcycling
–
seeking
the
freedom
and
escape
associated
with
an
open
road,
polished
chrome
and
a
sweet
sounding
engine.
Currently
12%
of
new
Harley-Davidson
purchasers
are
women,
compared
to
just
4%
in
1990.
The
Motorcycle
Industry
Council
estimates
that
one
in
10
U.S.
motorcyclists
is
a
woman.
But
while
thousands
of
women
live
their
lives
on
the
open
road,
many
remain
stuck
in
neutral
and
unsure
where
to
start,
commenting
that
“I
would
love
to
learn
how
to
ride,
but
…”
To
help,
Brothers’
Harley-Davidson
in
Branford,
Ct.
is
hosting
a
free,
women-only
Garage
Party
event
at
their
dealership
on
Thursday
March
25th
between
6:00pm-
7:30pm.
Intimidation-Free
Zone
The
Harley-Davidson
Garage
Party
event
provides
an
inviting
environment
for
women
to
learn
more
about
motorcycling
and
to
meet
other
women
who
are
interested
in
riding.
Party
guests
can
expect
activities
that
will
be
both
entertaining
and
informational
with
topics
including
a
review
of
the
basic
motorcycle
controls,
how
to
customize
a
motorcycle’s
ergonomics
and
how
to
choose
proper
riding
gear.
“Women
and
men
ride
for
the
same
reasons
–
freedom,
adventure
and
individuality…its
how
they
get
going
that
can
take
a
different
path,”
said
Karen
Davidson,
Creative
Director,
General
Merchandise,
Harley-Davidson
Motor
Company.
“Women
tend
to
spend
more
time
investigating
the
sport
prior
to
getting
involved.
Garage
Party
events
give
women
an
interactive
way
to
gather
information
and
have
fun
doing
it.”
The
Party
Plan
Garage
Party
event
attendees
are
organized
into
small
groups,
getting
their
first
taste
of
the
camaraderie
that
goes
along
with
riding.
Groups
will
visit
four
informational
stations,
including:
· ‘Motorcycle
Orientation’
to
learn
the
basic
differences
between
Harley-Davidson
model
families
· ‘MotorClothes’
to
discover
the
important
attributes
needed
in
head-to-toe
motorcycle
gear.
· ‘Motorcycle
Fit
and
Function’
to
learn
how
to
customize
a
motorcycle
to
reflect
a
rider’s
personal
style
and
ergonomic
needs.
· ‘How
to
Pick
Up
a
Motorcycle’
to
show
that
just
about
anyone
can
handle
the
weight
of
a
motorcycle.
Between
stations,
women
get
the
chance
to
interact
with
each
other,
as
well
as
hear
from
women
who
are
already
living
their
motorcycle
dreams.
“Garage
Party
events
give
women
a
no-pressure
chance
to
learn,
socialize
and
ask
questions,”
added
Michele
Paolella
“We’re
excited
to
provide
an
event
for
women
who
are
looking
for
information
about
getting
into
the
sport
but
aren’t
sure
how
to
do
it.”
The
women-only
Harley-Davidson
Garage
Party
event
is
free
for
any
woman
who
is
looking
to
take
the
next
step
to
get
behind
the
handlebars.
