April Rohrer of Fargo, ND, will cruise the back roads of America for taking her life by the handlebars. Today Rohrer was introduced as the grand-prize winner of the first Spirit of Freedom Contest sponsored by Harley-Davidson Motor Company (NYSE: HDI) and Jane magazine at the 65th Annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.

Harley-Davidson and Jane magazine launched the Spirit of Freedom Contest to recognize women who embody a spirit of adventure through small gestures, inner strength and every-day selfless acts. Two-hundred word essay nominations were judged on a commitment to regularly celebrate independence; involvement in motivating women to take control of their lives; and facing and overcoming challenges.

Rohrer, who has served 18 months in Iraq as a member of the North Dakota National Guard, was chosen as the Spirit of Freedom winner in part because of her continued efforts to help those less fortunate and drive to meet her goal of becoming a registered nurse. As the winner of the Spirit of Freedom Contest, Rohrer received a new Harley-Davidson Sportster 883 Low, Rider’s Edge New Rider Course training and a trip to the 65th Annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.

“After hearing April’s story, it was evident that she has helped and inspired many with her courage, independence and spirit,” said Kathleen Lawler, vice president of communication at Harley-Davidson Motor Company. “Harley-Davidson and Jane magazine are proud to recognize her as the Spirit of Freedom Contest winner and hope her example will help motivate even more women to embrace independence, crave adventure and give to those in need.”

APRIL’S STORY

In 2002, Rohrer enlisted in the Army National Guard to serve her country and secure financing to become a registered nurse. While spending 18 months in Iraq, April and her unit volunteered for combat medic duties on hundreds of missions, tending to severely wounded soldiers and Iraqi civilians. She also befriended an Iraqi mother of six who had lost her husband during the war fighting alongside American soldiers.

After returning home at the age of 22, Rohrer and members of her unit tirelessly aided the effort to bring her Iraqi friend and her seven children, including a newborn named April, to America and to safety. After helping save hundreds of lives, Rohrer is now working and attending college to fulfill her dream of becoming a registered nurse.

April was nominated for the Spirit of Freedom Contest by her mother, Barbara Bronstad. “I’m truly honored to be recognized by Harley-Davidson and Jane magazine,” said Rohrer. “While I must admit that I’m anxious to get out on the open road on my new Harley, I hope my story will inspire others to live their lives to the fullest.”

MORE WOMEN HITTING THE OPEN ROAD

More and more women embrace the open road. In fact, the Motorcycle Industry Council reports that women now represent one in 12 U.S. motorcycle owners. The number of female Harley-Davidson owners has grown from only 600 in 1985 to more than 30,000 last year — accounting for nearly 10 percent of new Harley buyers.

Helping fuel the growth of the sport among women is the Harley-Davidson Rider’s Edge program, which teaches basic riding skills at select Harley-Davidson dealerships across the country. Since the program’s inception in 2000, more than 40,000 people have learned to ride a motorcycle, and 42 percent of the students are women.

Bringing the Harley-Davidson (NYSE: HDI) racing heritage to the streets of the Big Apple, members of the company’s Screamin’ Eagle NHRA Race Team went head-to-head in a series of simulated drag races to benefit charity on Wednesday, October 12 in the heart of the city. At a special event in Pershing Square, the NHRA’s two top ranked drag racers, Andrew Hines and GT Tonglet, squared off in more than 20 simulated races in all while not moving an inch. The simulated races took place on a dyno-drag machine, which measures elapsed time, speed and horsepower to determine a winner. Overall, the Screamin’ Eagle NHRA Race Team helped to raise $1,000 for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA).

“It was an amazing experience to be in downtown New York City, drag racing with the buildings and busy city right beside us,” commented Andrew Hines, currently ranked number one in the NHRA rankings. “It was fun to be able to go head-to-head against GT, but knowing that we were helping to help raise funds for the Muscular Dystrophy Association made it all the better.”

In addition to cheering on Andrew and GT in the drag races, event participants were able to check out and sit behind the handlebars of the new 2006 V-Rod models. Everyone at the event was also encouraged to get their photo taken on an official NHRA Pro Stock motorcycle. For every photo taken, Harley-Davidson donated $1.00 to the MDA.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Motor Company’s relationship with the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Since 1980, the company has helped raised more than $55 million in the fight to find a cure for those affected by neuromuscular disease.

About Boss Hoss: Boss Hoss Cycles, Inc. was established in 1990 when Monte Warne, the Founder and President of Boss Hoss Cycles, Inc., created his first Chevy V-8 powered motorcycle in his 5000 square foot shop in Dyersburg, TN. Monte, a commercial aircraft pilot and degreed aviation airframe and power plant technician, was the first to design a V-8 powered motorcycle that has a traditional cruiser motorcycle style, look and feel. This was accomplished by his unique approach to the motorcycles single speed (one gear) transmission design. The right angle drive transmission allows the length of the bike to be kept to a minimum and the engine-mounting inline with the frame made for a well-balanced design that is unequaled by any other V-8 powered motorcycles.

Over the past fifteen years Boss Hoss Cycles, Inc. has grown from its humble beginnings in Monte’s shop to a 22,000 square foot manufacturing facility. The product line has also grown from the conventional two-wheeled motorcycle to include three-wheeled vehicles commonly referred to as trikes.

The product has seen significant improvements over the years through the R&D efforts of Boss Hoss Cycles’ in house engineering personnel and specialty contractors. Features like a 2-speed transmission with reverse, inverted front suspension, vacuum formed body panels, investment cast structural frame components, and many other specially designed components have helped improve the rigidity and ride of the Boss Hoss motorcycles.
