Daytona Bike Week Women's Activities Announced MILWAUKEE, Jan. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harley-Davidson female enthusiasts are encouraged to enter for a chance to win a spot on the Harley-Davidson Women's Day Ride, held March 4, 2008, and join Karen Davidson, great-granddaughter of one of the Company's founders, as well as the six Get Down to Daytona contest winners on the last leg of their ride into Daytona. To enter, women riders should go to http://www.harley-davidson.com/womensride by Jan. 23 and fill out a short entry form.

Women riders must ride a Harley-Davidson or Buell motorcycle and must be in Daytona on the morning of March 4. On Jan. 25, 80 women will be randomly chosen to participate in the ride. Each rider will receive a 2008 MDA Pin, a special flag with MDA and H-D logo for their bike, and be entered in a special MDA drawing for a Harley-Davidson women's jacket. The top three fundraisers will also receive a special gift. Daytona Bike Week Women's Activities Tuesday, March 4, is Harley-Davidson Women's Day at the Ocean Center. The Women's Day Ride will arrive at the Ocean Center at approximately 10 a.m. Upon arrival, Karen Davidson will introduce the six winners of the Get Down to Daytona contest. Interactive seminars will be given throughout the day on how to pick up a motorcycle, customization and MotorClothes. More details will be announced in the next few weeks.

Demos are free, but riders will need to bring a helmet (full-face helmet and long pants for Buell demos) and a valid motorcycle license. Each woman who takes a demo ride during that time will be automatically entered into a drawing for a women's helmet.

All week at the Ocean Center, March 2-8 from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m., women can visit the Harley-Davidson Interactive Women's Area featuring giveaways and prizes, motorcycle information, and a historical and informational women's display.
