Krystal Hess is a motorcycling woman from Canada now living in Austin, Texas.
You may remember her name from past posts including the Spinderalla custom Suzuki Savage cafe racer, and when her custom Yamaha won the JP Cycles Ultimate Bike Build Off at IMS Dallas. Krystal pretty much eats, sleeps, and breathes motorcycles (my kind of lady). She’s the owner of Ricochet Customs, a powder and ceramic coating shop in Texas, and also builds custom bikes. Recently she did a photoshoot with photographer Daniel Nguyen on the new 2015 Indian Scout motorcycle. Winter has lifted across America, the green is out, and so are motorcyclists!
Follow Krystal on instagram @RicochetCustoms and the Ricochet Customs facebook page. Daniel Nguyen’s work can be seen on instagram @thatmotorcycledude.
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.
