MOTO FOR JAPAN
Motorcyclists… donate to Japan’s red cross effort.
This project is the shared idea of Greg Hatton and Jon Bekefy. As motorcyclists and employees in the industry, we’re both incredibly aware of our debt to Japan. We love the sport of motorcycle racing, we’ve long earned a living in this industry, and we ride bikes built in Japan.
Every dollar donated through MotoForJapan will go directly toward funding the Red Cross’ relief efforts in that country. By giving, each contributor can be recognized as a motorcyclist who gave something back to the country that’s given us so much.
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.
