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.
Yuriko on her Chopper
Pink chopper girl (complete with suicide shifter) from Deus’ Sunday Mass – Venice Beach, CA. I met this lovely lady Yuri yesterday at Chopperfest- she’s very petite (maybe 5’2”) and a very sweet lady. It’s so awesome putting faces to photos- you can follow her on instagram @sanyuri.
