2007 WROAR NEWS:

WROAR III enjoyed wonderful weather and a great new venue. Honda helped us host a great event, with demo rides for both off-road and street bikes. We were one of the few events to gain access to the new and much sought after CBR125RR's; a hoot to ride. While we had about the same attendance numbers as previous years, although slightly fewer registered riders. We did have some 'firsts' this year; we had our first male passenger (after offering great prizes which went unclaimed the past two years!) and our first ride out of the city.

JUNE 2007: Honda's new CBR125RR will be available for demo rides at the 2007 WROAR Ride. You've probably read about this new Honda already; it has received extensive coverage even outside motorsports media. Don't miss this opportunity to try out the CBR125.

MAY 2007: New Venue and New Route for 2007. WROAR III will be hosted by Honda Canada, at 715 Milner Ave. in Scarborough. Our ride will enjoy a more rural and scenic route this year, enjoying some of the twisty roads north east of Toronto.

APRIL 2007: Toronto Spring Motorcycle Show - April 14 and 15

We announced our new venue for 2007, at Honda Canada on Milner in Scarborough! Riders were excited to hear about our new venue, and are looking forward to a much more scenic ride route too. Photos of the WROAR Booth at the Toronto Spring Motorcycle Show are on our events page.

The FIRST WROAR RIDE

What an awesome day! On June 12th 2005 the first ever WROAR Ride raised over $ 8,500.00. Thanks to the fabulous fundraising efforts of the 40 women riders braved the hot and muggy weather to participate the first ever WROAR Ride. Thank you all for your fantastic enthusiasm. We would like to thank Honda and the many motorcyclists came out to enjoy the Honda demo rides - what a great chance to test-ride the new offerings from Honda! The WROAR Ride made quite an impression on the streets of Toronto, and we returned from our ride hot, but just thrilled to have shared a ride with so many other women motorcyclists. The afternoon's entertainment was great, and it was nice to share a meal after the ride too. Most of the riders won something in the raffle, and all of us made new women riding chums. We would like to thank all of our sponsors for making the first ever WROAR Ride a possibilty, and all of our WROAR Riders for making it a huge success!
