"I am looking forward to being on the show to talk about the trends in the motorcycling with women. When I started riding motorcycles 16 years ago it was pretty lonely out there for female motorcyclists. Today women are one of the fastest growing segments in the motorcycle market and I believe this trend will continue to have a very positive impact on future motorcycle sales," commented Porterfield.
