There is a new womens motorcycle rally shaping up in the southern Midwest region called Bikes Babes Bling scheduled for July 1-3, 2010 in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Bikes Babes Bling is the sister rally of Bikes Blues BBQ festival which just celebrated its 10 year anniversary in 2009. The goal of this first time female oriented event, say rally organizers, is to focus on providing women a safe and fun experience where they can come together to share their love of motorcycles and riding.

Im always a little nervous when Harley-Davidson takes a particular model out of its line-up thats been there for more than a decade, especially one that is a favorite of mine.
