The adorable Marie Delgado, a Southern Californian motorcycle woman- a beauty on a Brutale. Photograph by Christian Jung.
Marie is a very petite 5 foot something tall lady who rides whatever she damn well pleases, because she’s awesome like that. I had the pleasure of meeting her in person after I moved South and she is every bit as pleasant as her photos.
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.
