One of the cooler submissions I’ve received in a long time… I was spotted on the freeway blasting around on Pandora! How cool!
AHHH: I live in Washington, DC, and I have been following the Monster project and your blog for years now. I’ve been staying in San Diego for the past week, and today, I was driving my brother’s car [NOT MY SCRAMBLER 🙁 ] on 5N. In my mirror, I saw a bike coming up. I see that the handlebars and the front light are RAD, and even before it catches me, I’m out loud cheering “Go! Go!” cause it’s a wide, long, beautiful turn and the rider is GOING. And as the bike pulls level, I think, quick, “holy shit! it’s a lady!”, and then it passes, and I see the seat and the tank and it’s Pandora, and I’m screaming out loud in the car!! Damn, girl. You’re like my patron saint of lady riders. And you passed me today. And I love it.
Thanks Sarah for the awesome note, wish I could have heard your shrieking excitement! haha.
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.
