The Women’s International Motorcycling Association is moving its conference to Japan next year after a successful edition concludes at Keystone in the US. With opportunities to ride the Loveland Pass and see some spectacular scenery, it will be interesting to see what’s on offer again in 2010.

The women’s rider event included other longer rides to Aspen and the hot sulphur springs, with the serious business of seminars and conferences also taking place. The event concluded with more demo rides and of course, the annual banquet.

While not all women were expected to go off and brave solo riding trips like Lois Pryce’s motorcycle tour from the UK to the tip of South Africa, next year’s event should be equally inspiring. More pics and news from Sarah Schilke on Motorcycle-USA.

It’s nice to pose when the weather conditions are good. So sometimes -when they’re not so good- a model can really feel the cold just like today. It was cold and dark outside, so we started the photo shoot with Amanda wearing a warm jacket.

Amanda is her name and she likes bikes and posing. She was born in Belgium in October, so you can wish her a happy birthday if you want. This occasion we went to the Belgian racetrack in Zolder, unfortunately the weather was not so good. We did this shoot to promote our racing team and to use the pictures during the “Miss Coast Contest”.

Today we give you the introduction to Dutch rider Susanne Bolhaar. Susanne is 31 years of age and started racing after enjoying some track days in 2005.

Susanne said to TwoWheels: “After getting the necessary licenses I started to race in the Dutch KNMV races, the Dutch National Championship. I chose the Supercup 600 class. Because of the fun of racing I was thinking trying once in the EW cup, the European Women’s Cup. And I started in the Dutch town Hengelo. I did not expected the result: I finished 5th! So I decided to join the whole championship. In the general standings I finished 9th and I was happy with the result, because it was my first year in the Cup.

In 2007 I joined the podium twice during the KNMW races at Oschersleben but the year ended badly for me. I crashed out and I hurt my wrist. Until today I am working on a rehabilitation programme for my wrist. But, I hope to be back in competition soon. If you want to know more about me, you can have a look at my Dutch website. And I want to say “Hi, thanks for reading” to all TwoWheels Blog visitors!”

Thank you Susanne and sure, TwoWheels Blog will follow you to see you riding soon!

Today we give you an introduction to female rider Chiara Valentini from Italy. She wrote to Twowheelsblog:

Hi, I am Chiara Valentini, 33 years old. I started to race in 2004 for the Italian Women’s cup. In 2005, I raced together with Paola Cazzola and we were the first women in the official female Ducati team, called Y2K and we rode with a Ducati 999S : I finished the Italian Championship in third position. Then in 2006, I won the European Women’s Championship in the 600 class with the Ducati 749R. In the same year, unfortunately I had a crash at the last race of the Championship and I broke my shoulder. It was at Vallelunga. I finished the Championship as second.

Because of the crash I was not able to race in 2007. Only this year I started again and I am racing in the Ducati Desmo Challenge in the Protwins class. I am not only racing: I also report for the motorcycle television MotoTV on Sky together with Giacomo Agostini and Marco Lucchinelli, and I coach for the Italian Motorcycle Federation.
If you want, you can find all my news, information and photo gallery on my website.
Best regards to all!
Chiara.

Thank you Chiara, all the best from Twowheels!
