I posted a little intro to Stormie’s Wednesday wrench night a couple days ago, and wanted to follow up with a few pics.
The motocycle version of Charlie’s Angels (above), photographed by Lanakila MacNaughton,. Left to right we have myself, Jada Noriyuki, and Stormie Ray.
Stormie provided a HUGE amount of meat, Jeff Wolf manned the BBQ, and attendees were instructed to bring something NOT MEAT and that didn’t need to be cooked.
Loads of bikes and a spattering of other cool cars, there is one thing all attendees have in common: they’re great people.
Below, Troy on the CBR, Jada on her Bonneville, and Will on his 996.
I walked into the garage and was surprised to find my friend Chris working on his bike. He had been out for a short jaunt and needed to do some tweaking… perfect place, Wrench Wednesdays!
All the while, and for long after, the fire pit was burning… we practiced our mastery of the marshmallow roast.
Below, Stormie is showing me how to properly use the mallow rod.
So again, folks… remember that all it takes to have some awesome motocycle community around you is to make it yourself! If you can’t host a party, help other people do so!

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.
