Steve Jones’ (of the Sex Pistols) custom Ducati GT 1000!
A new exhaust and brake discs were fitted by Pro Italia, who also powder-coated the frame. MotoCorsa in Portland powdered the engine and wheels, installed Öhlins suspension front and rear, and replaced the clocks with a tiny digital job. The lovely polished tank, fenders and sidepanels were created by Evan Wilcox, and Duane Ballard crafted a new leather seat.
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.
