This summer, The Harley-Davidson Museum will open an exhibit dedicated to an iconic piece of motorcycle culture: the black leather jacket.
The “Worn to be Wild: The Black Leather Jacket“ exhibit will showcase over 100 artifacts including jackets designed by fashion houses such as Jean Paul Gaultier and Gianni Versace, as well as jackets worn by celebrities such as Elvis Presley.
The picture shows a motorcycle woman with leather jacket, circa year 1949.
We boot-scooted, we boogied, we hosted a worldwide reveal, we tore it up on e-bikes, we had makers workshops, we gave away a bunch of amazing gear and gizmos… you know… normal Women’s Moto Show goodness! Three whole days of awesome entertainment surrounded by a bunch of the coolest motorcycling women I know.
