Desert Party in Ocotillo Wells, CA from Feb 28th to Mar 2nd 2014 for the 5th Anniversary of Trophy Motorcycles (website).
Trophy is a vintage motorcycle shop in San Diego that specializes in Triumphs and other British bikes. Restoration, parts, etc. They lent me a vintage desert sled for my shoot with Lanakila for the Women’s Moto Exhibit, and are all around good guys.
Plus, it’s a great excuse to braap around in the desert! Camping at Holmes Camp is free with nice bathrooms and hot showers, but vehicles need plates and/or stickers- all vehicles, RVs, bikes (of course), tents, etc are welcome. (More info on their blog.)
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.
