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.
Got this submission from two ladies who took a two-up road trip on their Maxim from PA to CA and back! Number one reason this excites me- my first bike was a 1980 Yamaha XJ 650 Maxim! Secondly, well… there’s two ladies involved. How cool is that? Lucysarah is an Apprentice painter at J&B Moto Co, and pilot of the motorbike for the trip.
I figured you might love this Road Trip of a life time.
Two up on my 1981 Yamaha xj650 Maxim from York, PA to Born Free in CA and back .
🙂 hope you Enjoy
