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.

The One Motorcycle Show, February 10-12th 2017 in Portland, Oregon.
I’ve attended almost every One Moto Show since it’s creation eight years ago. Being able to watch it grow in my hometown of Portland, having friends from all over the country show up to attend… it’s just wonderful. No other way to say it.
Perhaps it’s my local bias, or perhaps not… but I think the One Show is one of the best motorcycle shows in the country. The show features such a wide variety of motorcycles–from barn finds to frame-up builds from big-name and upcoming builders alike.
Here’s an excerpt from the article I wrote for Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys–
While it may not be the biggest custom motorcycle show in the country, it’s certainly one of the very best. The eighth annual One Motorcycle Show took place in Portland last weekend, featuring over 100 custom bikes from across the continent. Presented by See See and Harley Davidson, the huge two story industrial building and lot was filled with art, bikes, food trucks, live music, and every type of motorcyclist imaginable.
