The 14th Annual Leesburg Bikefest & “Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA” offer Free Demo Rides!

 Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA, invites you to experience Lake County, Florida during their Free Demo Rides at the 14th Annual Leesburg Bikefest on April 23, 24 & 25, 2010.

Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA, is the largest Motorcycle Manufacturer to ever attend the Annual Leesburg Bikefest, and will be the largest manufacturer providing this unique opportunity to Bikefest attendees. On display and available for free demo rides will be some of the 2010 Star Motorcycles and Super Sport models, such as the Stratoliner Deluxe, VMAX, R1 and FZ6R.

Since the Demo Rides are extremely popular, there will be no appointments scheduled in advance as Demo Rides will be available on a first come, first served basis. However, Demo Rides will be offered beginning Thursday April 22, one day before the official Bikefest gets started for the weekend on April 23, 24 & 25. All riders interested in going on a Demo Ride must be prepared to ride in full safety gear and have a motorcycle endorsement on their license.

“Our professional ride leaders will take interested parties on guided Demo Rides around the area so they can experience how our bikes handle on the road for themselves.”, stated Kim Knupp Assistant Division Manager, National Events, Motorsports Division, Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA.

“We’re hoping with Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA hosting this Demo Ride, we’ll introduce pleasure riding to a whole new audience; It’s a perfect time for anyone who’s always wanted to try riding a first class motorcycle, without having the pressure to commit!” states Joe Shipes, President, Leesburg Partnership.

The Demo Rides will take place on Thursday, April 22 through Sunday, April 25 at the intersection of 5th Street and Magnolia Street from 9:00am - 5:00pm. For additional information on the 14th Annual Leesburg Bikefest events, please visit www.LeesburgBikefest.com
