Back in the saddle! Suzuki Motor USA, LLC is sponsoring 2019 Iron Butt Association Rally champion Wendy Crockett on the Suffragists Centennial Motorcycle Ride (SCMR2021) July 31-August 20. Suzuki will also provide marketing support to extend visibility and reach for the Women’s Motorcycle Festival & Conference on August 19-22.
“Suzuki is very excited to sponsor this incredible women’s riding event and conference," said Kerry Graeber, Vice President, Division Manager, MC/ATV Sales and Marketing. “Our involvement with Women’s Motorcycle Tours, the Suffragists Centennial Motorcycle Ride and Wendy Crockett showcase the Suzuki V-STROM’s engineering, technology and riding excitement like no other event on the national schedule. Women riders are a key component of growing our industry.” During the ride, Suzuki will be represented by Wendy Crockett, winner of the 2019 Iron Butt Rally, who will be riding from Portland, Oregon to Arlington, Virginia where she will showcase the experience for both Women’s Motorcycle Tours and SMC through video and photography.
“I am so happy that Suzuki is joining us on the Centennial Ride,” says event organizer and Dealernews’ Diversity Editor Alisa Clickenger. “They were a key supporter of my 2016 Sisters’ Centennial Motorcycle Ride cross-country event and it is fun to be working with them once again,” she adds. “Suzuki makes terrific motorcycles, and I am delighted that Wendy Crockett will be riding a Suzuki V-STROM 1050XT as it's the ideal cross-country motorcycle for this type of adventure.”
