This is my babely lady friend Jessica McLean riding out of Born Free 6 on her Virago 250 at Oak Canyon Park in Silverado, CA. I’m really happy to have been able to see her this weekend, albeit briefly, and want to wish her a biggol’ HAPPY BIRTHDAY on this here interwebs.
She was a pillar of kick ass friendship while I was living in San Diego, and without her I probably would have been sad and lonely a lot of the time I lived there. Y’all probably don’t know, but I’m sort of a hermit. Jess’ infectious happiness and lust for fun can’t be contained in her own body and therefore if you’re lucky enough to be around her, you can’t help but feel stoked on life.
Love you lady.

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.
