Mission Statement

The Sisters’ Centennial Motorcycle Ride July 3-23, 2016, will honor and celebrate our female motorcycling heroines of the past, as we promote the growth of women motorcyclists and the motorcycling community.

This event is not just about motorcycling; it’s a celebration of brave and adventurous women, service to community and country and the history of two-wheeled travel.

The Route

The ride will loosely follow the Van Buren sisters’ 1916 route, primarily following the Lincoln Highway across the United States from New York to San Francisco. Combining scenic routes and major metropolitan areas, the route will allow for great riding as well as promotion and visibility of female motorcycling role models.

Our Charities

Two charities will be funded as a result of the Sisters’ Centennial Motorcycle Ride’s event efforts:

Final Salute, Inc.,  national women’s veterans’ organization which provides temporary and permanent housing for the over 500,000 homeless female veterans in the United States.

Women’s Coalition of Motorcyclists, an organization providing funding for motorcycle train-the-trainer scholarships that will help enlarge the number of female instructors and coaches for road, dirt and track.
