Frequently Asked Questions

Q:      Are only women allowed to attend the FSBW? Can a non club member attend the FSBW?
A:      Only women are allowed to register for the FSBW. The registration fee covers the admission for the events such as the Meet and Greet, End of Weekend Bash, and Brunch/Award Ceremony. The hosting club may include other events that the registration fee will also cover. Men are welcome and also encouraged to come to the FSBW. They however are not allowed to register. They must pay for admittance to all events. You don't have to belong to a club or own a motorcycle to enjoy the FSBW. All lovers of motorcycles are welcome to attend the FSBW.

Q:      When did the FSBW start and how was it started?
A:      The FSBW was founded by Tracy Ervin, Angelique Harris and Angela Andrews of the Fiery Phoenix of Philadelphia, PA in 2002. The event was intended to give the Female Sport Biker an alternative to Black Bike Week in Myrtle Beach.

Q:      What are the motives behind the FSBW?
A:      The intentions of the FSBW are to give the Female Sport Biker an alternative to Black Bike Week in Myrtle Beach. The event will focus on the Female Sport Biker as an addition to the Bike Community as a peer and no longer a spectator of the sport.

The FSBW is a coming together of women from diverse backgrounds that share the common love of sport bike riding. It's a weekend of riding, bonding, sharing stories, parties and meeting new people. And to add an extra flair, the event will be held in a different state hosted by a different all female bike club every year.

Q:      Who determines what club is the next host for the event?
A:      The presidents of all the clubs in attendance that year are allowed to put their clubs name in the hat to be in the running for the next year's FSBW. Those clubs that would like to host the next FSBW must meet certain criteria. Once the criteria are met, the clubs are voted on by all the clubs (one vote per club) that were in attendance. The club with the highest number of votes gets to host the next FSBW.

Q:      Are there guidelines put in place for the hosting club?
A:      Yes. The founding club put together what is called the "Female Sport Biker Weekend Template" which acts as guidelines for the hosting club to follow. The founding club is also in place in a supportive role should the hosting club need additional help.
