Feast your eyes on the Harley Davidson scrambler build by Burly Brand– can’t help but be a fan of the chunky dual sport tires, top rack, low profile seat and dirt bike bars. Oh, the ideas I’m getting…
Now, yes, a Sportster isn’t a light motorcycle, and I wouldn’t say generally makes the best base line for a scrambler bike. If you want to really be able to go braapin’ off road, you’ll need something that won’t snap your leg in half if you awkwardly drop it in some loose dirt/sand/mud. That being said, I’m also a huge fan of using machinery in brilliant ways that perhaps it was not originally intended for. Such as MotoCorsa’s TerraCorsa- a Ducati 1199 Panigale outfitted with knobbies and panniers. That being said, I bet this Harley Scrambler bike would be really fun to ride (and so would the TerraCorsa).

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.
