Siracusa, who has worked within the motorcycling industry for over 10 years said she is looking forward to introducing more women to motorcycling.
"The women in Motorcycling sessions in Melbourne will be fresh and not to be missed,." she said. "They'll be aimed at females who are considering getting their licence, have been riding a short time or have been owning the streets on their bike for years. We'll have something for everyone!
"There are so many amazingly talented she bosses and rad blokes out there having a good go and bringing quality products and services to the Melbourne/Aussie moto scene targeted specifically at women.
"I'm excited to be able to bring them into the spotlight through these sessions so that they can share their story and passion with their target audience on a personal level," Siracusa added.
Hundreds of new motorcycles will be on display throughout 20,000 sqm of exhibition space including a massive range of motorcycles suitable for women. A large range of LAMS approved motorcycles for new riders will also be on display with experts on hand to discuss the best options suited to each individual's needs.
