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.
Motorcycle Romance on the World’s Longest Beach
Recently Wesley Case & Liz Horton got engaged at the One Motorcycle Show in Portland, Oregon. You might remember the behind the scenes post we shared!
British Customs (british-customs.com) released the final photographs, which are some of the coolest engagement photos I’ve seen! ha! Liz blasting Wes in the face with muddy sand… couldn’t have been pleasant. Wes, did you enjoy the exfoliating skin treatment?
The shoot took place on custom Triumph motorcycles decked out by the guys at BC, on the “World’s Longest Beach” in Long Beach, Washington. Photographers Brin Morris (brinmorris.com) and Brooks Sterling (iambrooks.com) captured the artful hooliganism.
The photoshoot was done in conjunction with part one of British Customs’ new adventure series.
You can follow Wes’ work on the Threepence FB and Liz’ shenanigans on instagram @deathroddixie.
