Assistant Director: Mark McGee

Bio:  Motorcycles have been a fascination of mine since childhood.  Born in 1971, I was drawn to Evel Knievel Mania (like a moth to a bug-zapper).  Any neighborhood kid that was lucky enough to own a mini bike, motor-cross bike, or moped…  Look out!  Somehow, I always managed to sweet-talk my way into riding.  I wanted nothing more in life than to emulate what Evel did on that 1972 Harley-Davidson XR-750.  That need for adrenalin translated to skateboarding in 1977 and continues to this day.

My first motorcycle purchase was a 750cc Honda Shadow A.C.E., quickly followed by a 900cc Triumph Bonneville T-100.  I also own a 1971 Harley-Davidson 125cc Rapido (an AMF-years Aermacchi) and owned a 2000 KTM LC4.  However, most enjoyable bike is my 2002 883R.  Maybe one day I’ll graduate to a Twin-Cam.  That FLHX sure is a sexy bike.  Many of my extended-family members have been riding for 25-plus years.  I cannot imagine my life without motorcycles.  Everything cliché that you have heard about motorcycles giving you a sense of freedom or maybe even an alter-ego…  They’re true.  When not riding, I’m enjoying almost every minute working at Harley-Davidson Louisville as Retail Director.
