Raquel Rodriguez and her Honda CBR600 sportbike.
Costa Rican Raquel, 36, has been riding for about ten years- her first bike was a 100cc scooter. Starting small is a good way to get familiar with two wheels without too much pressure- they’re light, fun, and if you drop it… so what? After her scoot, she got a Yamaha FZ150i that she’s kept despite upgrading to the CBR. Her passion is superbikes, and rides her Honda internatiomally on road trips.
Thanks for the submission, Raquel!
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.
