Inside Harley Garage Parties

Harley-Davidson launched a series of instructional courses for women which they've dubbed, "Garage Parties".

Yesterday, the Christian Science Monitor published an article that takes a look at what goes in a Garage Party...

If you're a guy, imagine taking a class on how to care for a newborn baby, and then switch it around to women learning how to ride. And that's what it sounds like.

The article goes on to describe how the instructor teaches a student how to lift a fallen Sportster...

"You want to back up to it, get your butt down lower than the seat, grab the lowest bar, and lean into the bike," Greene says.

A small blonde approaches backwards, squats, and pushes against the seat with her body, but too much of the bike's weight rests on her back.

"Get your butt down," Greene says, and the blonde protests that she doesn't have one.

I suppose Garage Parties are a good thing considering this is the face of motorcycle riding in America.
