Observe: me over halfway through cleaning up the epic gas spill in my garage this morning.
Took a shower, got dressed, was walking out to my car and smelled gasoline inside my house. Ran out to the TDM to find it (and the battery tender) sitting in a pool of fuel… and gas still spewing all over the place. Fuel line broke from being old and propped up so that I could hook the tender to the battery.
Totally awesome way to start the day.
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.
