What do you call a group of more than 50 women, a showroom of motorcycles, four mini informational sessions and a passion for two wheels?
A great time, that's what!
Trev Deeley Harley-Davidson, located in Vancouver at Boundary Road and 2nd, recently hosted their 12th annual Women's only Garage Party.
What is the Garage Party? It's a night where women who ride, who are looking to start riding or who are currently riding on the back but are transitioning to be the captain of their bike can get together, educate themselves about motorcycles in a no-pressure environment and just have fun.
That's exactly what I had when I attended the event.
As all of us gathered in the conference room for the evening to start, the group dynamic was quite diverse. There were women of all ages and backgrounds. Some had never sat on a Harley (or any motorcycle), and some who had returned again because the event is something they look forward to.
Despite age differences and life experiences, there were smiles all around. The desire to learn and enjoy the evening along with the company of others was quite prominent.
Holliday Ascroft heard about the Garage Party when she came to Trev Deeley with her boyfriend to buy a new helmet. She is in the process of obtaining her full motorcycle licence, and currently rides a Yamaha Virago.monclerjacketswomens
Her reason for attending?
"I wanted to learn a little bit more about motorcycles but in a more intimate environment. And the no pressure on making sales also really helps," she said.
Trev Deeley general manager Darwin Osarchuk echoed the statement that graces the entrance of the showroom, which says, "It doesn't matter what you ride, just as long as you ride."
The philosophy definitely holds true, as there were a few women in attendance who currently own different makes and models of motorcycles.
There were four 20-minute tutorials held.
One was regarding the various families of bikes Harley-Davidson offers. We were able to sit on all of them and try them on for size. Furthermore, it was pointed out that the various models and styles can be custom fit to your specific needs. Should you want to adjust the handlebars or the pedals, the HD technicians are able to help with maximizing rider comfort while cruising around.
Another session focused on riding gear. Various jackets, helmets,hermesbirkinreplica gloves and so forth were pointed out so women know they have options.
I had the opportunity to get to know another first-time attendee,miumiureplicahandbags Lizann Hirsche.
When chatting, she mentioned, "There were certain aspects of all the sessions that were educational, but the Jump-start was my favourite."
That tutorial allowed attendants to sit on a Harley and actually shift their way through the gears. The bike was stationary and positioned upright, so you couldn't actually move forward or drop it.
Most of the women who tried it had never done it before. And for Lizann, who is used to riding on the back of a bike, it was quite thrilling. She took to it naturally.pradahandbags
Of the four mini informational sessions, my personal favourite was learning how to pick up a dropped bike.
At first, I was a little apprehensive. After all,replicalvhandbag a fallen Harley weighs in at close to 225 kg (500 lbs.). I really wasn't sure if I could do it. I felt as though I should have been taking crossfit classes prior to attempting this manoeuvre.
