SUPERSHOW welcomes all

From the North American International Motorcycle SUPERSHOW

TORONTO, ON – When Danica Patrick began to make a name in IndyCar racing, she proved that women also love fast toys. More and more women are joining the world of motorcycle enthusiasts and are being welcomed whole-heartedly, because any motorcyclist can tell you that once you move from passenger to rider, there is no turning back.

To see the best the motorcycle industry has to offer for men and women, North America’s largest motorcycle show is the place to be. Set for Jan. 6-8, the 2006 edition of the North American International Motorcycle SUPERSHOW is celebrating 30th years of “Everything to do With Motorcycling”.

When Speed Channel asked Michele Smith to host the popular American Thunder, no one knew what a true motorcycle enthusiast she would become. Loving every minute she is in the industry and all the great bikes that she gets to test, Michele has been quoted as saying “just hearing the sound of a motorcycle gets me going, it's really a rush!” Michele can be seen all three days of the SUPERSHOW.

Humber College’s motorcycle rider training program has added a new feature to their Rider Academy at the SUPERSHOW called “She Rides – Resources for Lady Riders." These free seminars are educational and a not-to-miss for all new female motorcycle enthusiasts.

Also designed to educate new female riders, WIMA (Women’s International Motorcycle Association) will run demonstrations throughout the weekend on topics geared specifically to women such as “How to Pick up Your Fallen Bike."

Exclusive to SUPERSHOW 2006, a new Airbrush Body Painting feature, “The Human Canvas," will present airbrush artist De Anne Lamirande. From her booth, Airways Airbrushing, De Anne will paint onto live female and male models as show attendees watch her artistry come to life on living, breathing canvases. Themes include motorcycle riding gear, animal art and exhibitor corporate identity themes.

De Anne is one of the few female airbrush artists in a field dominated by men. Look for her finished works of art on display and walking around the Show.
