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.
MotoLady Five Year Party & Women’s Motorcycle Show
The first annual Women’s Motorcycle Show celebrating five years of MotoLady took place at Lucky Wheels Garage in Los Angeles on January 23rd, 2016.
We had Katee Sackhoff’s Classified Moto bike, Yuri’s “Gloryhole” chopper by Hog Killers, Jessi Combs’ Triumph, the MotoLady built Blondezilla DualSporty, Krystal Hess’ 40 Creek Whiskey XS650, and so many more. Check out the photo gallery!
The Lucky Wheels Garage boys fed people with Texan BBQ, Caroline & Brady of Ramming Speed Racing manned the bar, and I ran around like a blurry spaz (pictured below) selling raffle tickets and talking to people. The raffle included prizes from MotoLady, UglyBros USA, Alpinestars, Lowbrow Customs, Biltwell, Silver Piston, Inked Iron, Icon 1000, Never Ride Bitch, Hinterland Empire, and more. Some 250-300 people came and went over the course of the night, and we all had a blast listening to the rad tunes of my buddy Shad Whitten who was our DJ.
Thank you to everyone for coming… I had a blast because of YOU!
