Slovenian rider Eva Rupnik submitted photographs from their yearly motorcycle show and ride for motorcycling women.
“We come from Slovenia, the capital city is Ljubljana, with a population of 2,000,000 people. Every year we have a meeting motoristk (women riding bikes), this is already the sixth year.” They are not a female motorcycle club, she emphasizes, but that they’re a group of like minded women who come from all over Slovenia and abroad. They’re all positive people who have a similar motto, “Life becomes much better when you stop worrying about what others think of you.” Ain’t that the truth?

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.
