The Horizon Tour road trip–six wheels, six legs, six months. MotoLady on tour.
One month ago I took off in my overland-kitted 98 Toyota Tacoma named the Purple Prius Eater, fully equipped with a custom made hitch-mount swing-out motorcycle carrier for my new Honda Rebel. The road trip is called the Horizon Tour.
The trip will take me all around America with my truck, motorcycle, and old-lady dog Akila. Equipped with Sena video cameras and my Fujifilm XT1, I’ll be creating photo galleries and videos of women riders, custom motorcycles, and so much more.
Because I want to keep the MotoLady website motorcycle-centric, I created a sub-domain of the website for the Horizon Tour content. While I’m on the road I’m going to be meeting up with talents of all types… photographers, survivalists, builders, writers, the list goes on! Make sure to follow my personal instagram @alicia_elfving as well as visit the Horizon Tour sub-website to follow along.
Please feel free to send me destination suggestions! Everything from camp spots to motorcycle shops, I’d love to hear from you. You can use the MotoLady contact page, or head over to the Horizon Tour contact form.
And don’t worry… tons of photos of rad women motorcyclists will appear here like in the olden days!
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.

If you pass by Union Gap stop in Los Hernandez for tamales. You’ll be glad you did and that’s even when the asparagus/jalapeno jack cheese tamales are out of season.
