In lieu of a full Monster Project update (which is desperately past due), I wanted to share a photo I snapped yesterday after the seat was chopped.
It still needs the foam shaped (and reupholstered obviously), but this is the closest to finished I’ve seen my Monster. Finally, you can see the shape I was going for in my build sketches.
I am more than pleased with my design decisions.
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.
