Today was the 11th annual Chopper Festival event in Ventura, California… just a short walk away from the compound in which I live and work! Wolf and I finished the DualSporty Project just in time, and Caroline (the owner of the bike) came to check it out and take it to the show.
The event was super fun, but I’ll go into that later with more photos of the other bikes. This is all about Blondezilla’s Dual Sporty!
There is going to be a photoshoot (or two) with Caroline riding her bike, along with a run down on the bike itself. But a quick run down of all the parts and goodies- Burly Brand (seat, bars, shocks, MX pegs), DP Customs (box exhaust), Biltwell (grips, risers), Boyle Custom Moto (tail light, air intake), Open Road Design (custom engraved points cover), Chainsikle (low sets), Acewell (speedo/tach), and Lowbrow Customs (Sportster belt to chain conversion kit). Another big huge thanks to my partner/collaborator on this project, Jeff Wolf of Wolf Designs who did most of the fabrication on this build. Oh! And of course, he also did the pinstriping.

Stay tunes for more photos later!
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.
