From a press release:

Virginia rocks to Aprilia Femmoto

Female motorcyclists will have the day of their lives on some of the world’s most exciting sport bikes when Aprilia opens the gates of Virginia Raceway for the inaugural Femmoto women’s ride day. Workshops, trade displays, professional marshalling and many more attractions will add to the excitement of the test rides at the August 9 event, which is also backed by Parts Unlimited.

Coordinated by track-day experts Sportbike Track Time, with the assistance of Team Promotion, the event will cater to female motorcyclists of every skill level. The test fleet will include the class-leading Mille Superbike, the street sport Falco, the excellent sport-touring RST Futura and the new 2002 CapoNord adventure touring motorcycle.

Coinciding with the last round of the AMA Superbike Championship, Femmoto aims to give women the chance to sample Europe’s most cutting edge motorcycles in a safe, friendly environment. They can prove for themselves that Aprilia motorcycles are designed with the ultimate performance available in each category, with an emphasis on user-friendliness, technical innovation, respect of the environment and, of course, Italian style!

Event sponsor Parts Unlimited will ensure women have the opportunity to see and purchase the latest in fashionable riding apparel by Alpinestars, Teknic and many other accessory manufactures, focused on providing women with the best in safety garments and look-good motorcycle gear.

Virginia International Raceway will waive the usual $10 entry fee – which also gives you access to the AMA Superbike qualifying session – to the first 100 applicants of Femmoto and with only 140 positions available, the event is sure to book out quickly.
