First, I want to just giggle at “fellow female” because it is amusingly oxymoronic. And yet it totally makes sense!
And secondly, CONGRATULATIONS! I resist typing an excessive amount of exclamation points but it’s worth a few more… !!!!! !! !
Is it the orange ‘76 CB that Thor from See See Cycles was selling? If so, I am j-j-j-jealous! Or maybe that was a ‘77… Anywho, that is a RAD bike and you will have so much fun on it, I am sure.
I actually don’t know any female moto mechanics in Portland, but maybe my readers can help me out with this…? Holla…! I am always down to assist in wrenching, although yes my knowledge is limited.
Rubber down, sister.
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.
