Octane Bike Night, Friday Nov 14th from 7-11p at Octane Coffee in Atlanta, Georgia.
The event was backed by Triumph North America, as their headquarters are just up the road from the cafe. Sam Bendall, PR Manager, and Jess Giesen, Marketing Manager from Triumph N.A. partnered up with my buddy Steve West of Silver Piston to make this happen. Over thirty motorcycles rode in the freezing temperatures, and sixty plus people came through to see the custom bikes and photography from Yve Assad and David Browning (E3 Motorcycles).


All that talent, combined with support from Dime City Cycles, made for a pretty cool evening. Wish I wasn’t so far away!

There were a mix of vintage, custom, and new Triumphs including the Lahalih-Wood tracker designed by Sarah Lahalih.

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.

Wow, what’s the story behind that first bike with the lady and the gold lid, looks damn interesting!?
Hi Cookie,
That’s my brave girlfriend Courtney riding my death trap. It’s a 1984 Honda Elite 150 scooter that has been very… customized. BMX bike stem with clubman bars, CH250 carb, Suzuki dirtbike gas tank, water cooled, dual handbrakes conversion, vintage minibike muffler… Courtney is my hero for riding the hell out of it and doing my hooligan machine justice!
Ha, that’s great! Love it. Would ride it. Keep up the good work!
