The 2009 AMA International Women's Motorcycle Conference experience: Epic!
Over the course of fours days, we met the most incredible women (and men) at 
the Conference held August 19-22 in Keystone, Colorado. We've compiled so many new stories, pictures, and video to share with you. And while the scheduled events, speakers, and seminars were amazing, it was the off-the-cuff moments that leave us buzzing. For instance, we captured famed Athena Randsom of Vagabond Choppers demonstrating her "leverage" technique to a fellow rider in the parking lot --instigated from a conversation the rider overheard Athena having with another iconic female moto figure, Laura Klock of Klock Werks. Timing really is everything!
Then there's the moment we get a phone call from our bud, Gramps - member of another remarkable club, the Sisters of Scota. She ran across Lesley Gering, one of the notable Canadian women featured gracing the hallways (via poster board) of the main 
Conference area. Turns out Lesley was introducing herself to Gramps and brought up Helmet Hair. The thing is, we've never met Lesley, and had NO IDEA she was attending the Conference. We've featured Lesley a couple of times in HH so if we had known this we would have definitely been (gently) stalking her. When she realized we were there, and then vica versa, it was a lovefest. There she was in all her hippie, artsy glory. We could go home happy now.
From meeting our idol, new contributing writer, Jessica Prokup -- yes, she is just as darn cute and polite in person, to the unexpected hugs from hordes of HH friends and fans (pictured left: Denise of Accident Scene Management places HH sticker on her helmet), the 2009 Conference was our most memorable one to date. Ok, so we have only two under our belt, but that's gotta count for something, right?
So don't miss the Ocober issue where we will relive the fun through words, photos, and video.
Happy Riding,
