As one of the four million women Harley-Davidson motorcycle riders, I am thrilled to be participating in the exciting 105th anniversary of Harley-Davidson.
This Friday, August 29, I will be one of the VIP’s leading the Women’s Day Ride that featured over 2,000 female bikers at the 100th anniversary in 2003. The Women’s Day Ride leaves Greenfield High School at 60th and Layton at 3:30 p.m. sharp on Friday. The parade route will be Layton Avenue to 794 over the Hoan Bridge to the lakefront.

Women’s Day also features the 2008 Reunion Bash at 62nd and Layton, free and open to the public. Emmy-nominated TV producer and founder of the Women Riders Now website, Genevieve Schmitt will be conducting seminars. The Chopper Chick Crew will have a charity bike build. Sara Liberte and Jody Perewitz will hold Garage Girls seminars. There will also be a “For Ladies Only” bike show.
Hal’s Harley-Davidson at 1925 S. Moorland Road in New Berlin is hosting two special all-women bike builds this weekend. You can get more details here.
I also am delighted to be one of the VIP’s leading the big parade down Wisconsin Avenue that takes place Saturday, August 30. The parade leaves Miller Park at 9 a.m. and continues east on Wisconsin Avenue before turning south on Milwaukee Street. The route then turns east on Erie Street to the Summerfest grounds.
The Harley-Davidson Parade of MDA Heroes will be led by riders who have raised at least $6,400 for MDA prior to Aug. 1, 2008. Money raised will cover the cost of sending eight children to MDA Summer Camp.
