FIVE MANUFACTURERS TO OFFER DEMO RIDES AT AMA WOMEN & MOTORCYCLING CONFERENCE PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) has announced that five major motorcycle manufacturers will offer demo rides at the 2002 AMA Women & Motorcycling Conference, scheduled for June 29 through July 3 at West Virginia Wesleyan College in Buckhannon, West Virginia. BMW, Harley-Davidson/Buell, Honda, Kawasaki and Yamaha will bring fleets of new models to the event, offering free demo rides to conference participants. Since registration for the AMA Women & Motorcycling Conference is limited to 1,000, and with plenty of free time built into the conference schedule, participants will have a rare opportunity to ride and compare new motorcycles, without waiting in long lines found at many other events. The demo-ride program is just one feature of the 2002 AMA Women & Motorcycling Conference. Participants can test their skills on a BattleTrax course, take off on self-guided tours through the Allegheny foothills, attend a variety of seminars and round-table discussions, and shop the vendor fair. A parade and street party in Buckhannon, a motocross demonstration, and special opening and closing celebrations are also planned. On July 3, the conference's final day, participants have the option of attending a Women's Motocross School, a Motorcycle Safety Foundation Dirt Bike School, or an AMA EAGLES Workshop. The first two AMA Women & Motorcycling Conferences were held in 1997 and 2000. More than 700 women and men attended the 2000 conference, from 46 states, Sweden, Australia and Canada. West Virginia Wesleyan College, located in the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains, was chosen as the site of the 2002 AMA Women & Motorcycling Conference for its excellent facilities, and for its proximity to great motorcycle riding. Registration kits are available by calling 1-800-AMA-JOIN, or by e-mailing membership@ama-cycle.org. The registration fee for the 2002 AMA Women & Motorcycling Conference is $139; all AMA members receive a $39 discount.
