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.
HooliganLili Retro Moto Girl Art
Keri Grassl (from Portland, Oregon) sent in a link to her website, HooliganLili, where she displays her watercolor art depicting women with vintage motorcycles.
The detail in the works is amazing, Keri pays great attention to the ‘anatomical’ details of the bikes.
This one looks like someone who’s appeared on the website many, many times before… Stacie B. London!
Make sure you check out the rest of Keri’s art on HooliganLili.com!
