For motorcycle enthusiasts in the US last week, it was a bittersweet time. On the one hand, a short holiday week, which is always nice. On the other, the passing of two certifiable North American motorcycle racing legends. Malcolm Smith left this world on November 26, at the age of 83, and just one day later, on November 27, Mary McGee left this world at age 87.
Both were, objectively speaking, cruel blows.
However, the loss of McGee feels like an extra little knife twist because it happened the literal day before ESPN planned to launch the much-lauded short documentary about her racing career, titled Motorcycle Mary, into wide release.
