To push gender equality further in what has mainly been a male-dominated industry, Honda UK is taking an active role in supporting women within motorcycling. To do this they teamed up with the second Women in Motorcycling Exhibition event which was based at the historic grounds of Tutbury Castle. This event celebrates women in the motorcycling world and consists of inspirational speakers, pannels at which guests can ask questions, workshops to learn new skills and more!
Honda supported the event in lots of ways including offering demo rides across an extensive range of bikes including the CRF1100L Africa Twin, Rebel 500 & 1100 (with DCT), CB500F, the award-winning CB500X and Neo Sport CB1000R to name just a few.
Scroll down to get a taste of the conversations taking place at this event and how you can attend the next one...
Leading the conversation is Leona Graham (Absolute Radio), a daily Central London commuter currently riding an NC750X DCT. Leona is teaming up with social influencer Ruby Rides a Digital Creator currently riding a Ninja H2, S1000RR HP4 and RSV4 1100. Also joining the talks is Kenndréa Evans who is at the other end of her motorcycling career, having just passed her CBT in spring this year she has yet to pass the 400 mile mark on her faithful CB125F.
Together the trio discuss their unique experiences and views on the motorcycle world, answer questions and generally talk bikes for a while. With this fantastic panel there were lots of interesting conversations, like how Kenndréa was encouraged to pursue her riding after being told "you could never do it" by her teenage son. Ruby also discusses sexism and how social normalities can influence the way society views female bikers.
With lots of great conversation between the panel and audience combined, this event pursues a fantastic view of women within the industry.

Laguna Motorcycles Limited (which include multiple trading names: Laguna Motorcycles, Laguna Performance Centre, Laguna Triumph, Maidstone Honda, Maidstone Harley-Davidson® and Kent Motorcycles) is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Laguna Motorcycles Limited (which include multiple trading names: Laguna Motorcycles, Laguna Performance Centre, Laguna Triumph, Maidstone Honda, Maidstone Harley-Davidson® and Kent Motorcycles) to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.
Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.
Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.
All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required. Please see our complaints page for our complaints policiy and regulatory complaints.
