Women’s Motorcycle Tours announces partnership with Indian Motorcycle and Polaris Slingshot
Women’s Motorcycle Tours (WMT) has announced Indian Motorcycle and Polaris Slingshot as sponsors of the Suffragists Centennial Motorcycle Ride on July 30 – Aug.19, 2021, and the Women’s Motorcycle Festival & Conference on August 19-22, 2021. Indian Motorcycle and Polaris Slingshot will be promoting both events and supporting the riders and conference attendees.
“When Polaris asks for rider input, they do indeed listen. And that’s the reason so many women are turning to the Indian Motorcycle and Slingshot brands of motorcycles,” said WMT founder and event Producer Alisa Clickenger in the announcement. “Indian Motorcycle and Polaris Slingshot are doing an outstanding job of supporting female riders, the events we create for ourselves, and truly listening to the female riding community when it comes to their product development. It’s really an honor to work with them in support of women motorcycle riders and bring forth these events.”
Indian Motorcycle and Polaris Slingshot will be supporting the Women’s Motorcycle Festival & Conference by hosting a Hospitality Walk, welcoming lady riders as they arrive to the conference, as well as sponsoring the General Session portion of the event. Jessica Kubalek, senior platform manager for Indian Motorcycle, and Collett Mazula, senior marketing manager for Polaris Slingshot, will both be speaking at the conference. Their inspiring presentations will give attendees an opportunity to hear directly from the women leading the vehicle and brand development at Polaris.
Indian Motorcycle and Polaris Slingshot are also the title sponsors of the Outdoor Festival portion of the weekend Saturday and Sunday, which will feature a wide range of activities for powersports enthusiasts, including demo rides on their latest models. The Outdoor Festival is open to the public and riders from all around the country – male and female – are encouraged to participate in the festival atmosphere and take these vehicles for a test ride.
Below are details from the release about the event:
