Once again, the ladies of Women in Motion put together a terrific ride to benefit Accident Scene Management, Inc. Each year, this ride tours Wisconsin promoting women motorcyclists, safe riding and Accident Scene Management, the course that teaches bikers what to do at the scene of a motorcycle crash until professional help arrives.

This year’s ride traveled to Door County, Wisconsin, for some of the most scenic riding in the state. Although organized and road guarded by women, the ride traditionally has almost as many men as women on it. The law firm of Hupy and Abraham, S.C. provides financial assistance to Accident Scene Management as well as attorneys to lecture on insurance needs. The firm also sponsors the ride shirts for all the participants and the special “Road Guard” shirts worn by the elite team of Women in Motion.

So much went on during this ride that there isn’t enough space to write about it all. Some highlights were visiting Ellison Bay, site of a tragic propane blast just prior to the trip, and meeting with some locals at the Viking Grill for lunch. Also, a memorable trip to the Motorcycle Memorial near Sturgeon Bay, where Kirk “Hardtail” Willard and Tony “Pan” Sanfelipo spoke about the spiritualism of motorcycling and the importance of a place like the Memorial. Door County Victory put on a wonderful fish boil and had demo bikes ready for anyone that wanted to try out the 2006 models, and they scream. The final destination of the two day ride was Wisconsin Harley-Davidson, in Oconomowoc, where a spectacular evening dinner complimented the hustle of the street dance and party that was going on all day. Plan on helping Accident Scene Management by attending next year’s ride, and more importantly, if you haven’t taken a class, register for one today.
