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.
Sofi Tsingos has been doing a pretty cool project called GT Cafe for Cause. The idea is that instead of just building a cafe bike for herself or a customer, she built it for someone to win and enjoy in a raffle for charity.
The tickets are only $25 apiece and proceeds go to cancer research. Check out the GT Cafe for Cause raffle page for more info.
