Mary McGee is a pioneer in American motorcycle racing, thanks to her untamable determination and a spirit as warm as her smile. Her excitement for motorcycling, especially racing, is contagious even in her eighties. She was the first woman to receive an FIM racing license in the United States, first woman to complete the Baja 1000, and the first woman to race the Baja 500 solo. These aren’t her only firsts, either. She was also the first woman in motocross and road racing in the States. McGee was rightly inducted into the AMA Hall of Fame in 2018.
Hi Motolady, In regards to your recent photo with the 2 ducati monsters and the sports classic, are they spotlights underneath the iconic ducati light?! they are so awesome! where did you get them from! congrats on getting your ducati running, you will love it! Keep up the great blog, its brilliant :) Denton :]
Hey Denton!
Are you referring to this image of the three wonderful Ducati moto ladies? The bikes are actually all three sport classics, the one on the left is a Paul Smart.
The photo was taken in 2008 outside MotoCorsa (my work). It features “the girls of MotoCorsa” at the time. Kat now works at Rev’It! in Philadelphia, and Erica still works here at MC.
And thank you, the Monster Project will probably never quite end, much like the work to my Maxim. But such is the way of mechanical process. 😉
Regards,
MotoLady
