Legends of Speed: 5 Women Who Ruled 1950s Motorcycle Racing
Trio of Trouble
Jen McLain, Tara Henry, and Lindsay Merkle are captured riding some of the beautiful roads in Southern California by photographer Jon Cossentine.
Jennifer, in the custom Bell Bullitt flower helmet, is riding a Kawasaki W650 which looks a lot like a modern Bonneville but is in fact, not. (Well I suppose that’s sort of an obvious statement at this point) Tara rides the Harley, and Lindsay is on her Triumph Thruxton.
Thanks Lindsay for sending me the rad pic!
