While big bikes are a wee scary to me, I was still happy to see that this summer will be a good one for female motorcyclists. The 2006 AMA/FIM International Women & Motorcycling Conference is to be held this June in Athens, Georgia.

The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) and the Federation Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) are holding the event, and has a shitload of sponsors, including Harley-Davidson and Buell. (We’re not surprised about Harley-Davidson considering they have a section of their website dedicated to female bikers.)

The conference is also being organized by a slew of awesome groups dedicated to improving the world of women motorcyclists, including MXGirls.com, Ebony Angels, Motor Maids, and Femmoto.

Check out the website for more information on the conference -- just beware, these ladies give a new meaning to "hell on wheels!" (Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.)
