Year 7 | 2022
We were graciously invited to join the One Motorcycle Show to celebrate their bikes built by women. We set up our booth display, brought MotoLady’s Ducati Monster “Pandora’s Box”, the Pit Viper Coleman minibike, and featured a gallery of Amanda Zito’s art (blindthistle). We also hosted a sample of the Real Deal Revolution workshops with Alicia of MotoLady demonstrating leather craft with participants being able to make keychains and bracelets to take home as a souvenir!
Additionally, we put special stickers on each of the women-built motorcycles within the One Moto Show, and held a scavenger hunt for attendees. When they found one of the bikes, they were tasked with posting it to social and tagging the event(s). One lucky winner got a $100 RevZilla gift card.

Year 6 | 2021
Everything’s bigger in Texas… and that’s where the sixth annual Women’s Motorcycle Show went down! We took over a NASCAR Garage at the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas inside the Get On! Moto Fest.
We had all the wonderful staples of WMS… plus some new entertainment thanks to the larger location.
Royal Enfield unveiled the eight new Build Train Race motorcycles taking part in the American Flat Track BTR series- all built by women (and their teams). We had over 30 custom motorcycles on display. The Real Deal Revolution ladies provided welding, pinstriping, leathercraft, silversmithing, and upholstery workshops. PitViper set up a booth and gave away their bad-to-the-bone sunglasses while providing a photo booth that featured a MotoLady + PitViper custom minibike build.
The raffle featured a Super73, nearly enough parts to customize an entire motorcycle from Paughco Parts, and many other goodies.
Estimated attendance: 5,000+

We were shut down 13 minutes before official show end by LAPD! Two helicopters flew overhead scoping out the scene while 10 Police SUV’s shut down the freeway on and offramps. When all was said and done they told us there was so much motorcycle traffic they thought we were racing! They actually apologized for having to shut down the show saying, “The Women’s Motorcycle Show is pretty cool.”

Year 2 | 2017
With 17 custom motorcycles including Jessi Combs’ Harley named Lilly, Melissa Paris’ race bike, a Bosozoku style mini bike, and more… this was the first time the Women’s Motorcycle Show name stood by itself. Still celebrating six years of MotoLady, while putting the focus back on the community of lady riders who do all sorts of cool stuff! Racing, building their own bikes from scratch, creating amazing pieces of art that resonate through pop culture and mainstream media.
The Women’s Motorcycle Show isn’t about dividing the motorcycle community, it’s meant to give ladies a place to show off their projects and triumphs. To show the world that there is no limit to what women can do and build, no parameters to which they can be pigeonholed, there is no such thing as a “girl bike”.
Estimated attendance: 500-600
