Mary McGee and Malcolm Smith were racing pioneers and legends, and they both died a day apart last week, so we are dedicating this episode to them. You may have heard of Malcolm Smith due to him being featured in the greatest motorcycle film of all time, On Any Given Sunday, but chances are you hadn't heard of Mary until her recent death. Mary was a car racer, motorcycle road racer and off road motorcycle racer. She was the first woman to race in the AFM and FIM, and the first PERSON to ride solo in the grueling Baja 500. She was an amazing talent who was often discriminated as a women in a man's sport just because she was too good. Fortunately her story is being told in a new documentary called Motorcycle Mary, and we have filmmaker Haley Watson join us to share her experiences getting to know Mary, and some of the stories that didn't make the film. Check out Motorcycle Mary on Youtube and other streaming platforms.

Malcolm Smith is the greatest motorcycle to have ever lived according to Liza, and she's willing to fight you over this. Smith won eight gold medals between 1966 and 1976 in the International Six Day Trial. The International Six Day Trials, a form of off-road motorcycle Olympics, is the oldest annual competition sanctioned by the FIM dating back to 1913. He was a five-time overall winner of the Baja 1000 (two on motorcycles and three on cars); a four-time winner of the Baja 500 (one in motorcycles and three in cars); has twice won the Mint 400 in Nevada and the Roof of Africa Rallye; finished fourth in the 1988 Paris–Dakar Rally on cars; and was the overall winner of the 1987 Atlas Rallye in Morocco.

Both Mary and Malcolm were in the AMA Hall of Fame, and will be remembered for their infectious joy of riding, and inspiring people around the world.

With Liza, Stumpy John, Sophia, Scottie, Naked Jim and Bagel.
