    Sep 1 2023

    TAKING the advice of her partner, David, Mary leaves him behind in Hong Kong and follows her bike to America. She rides it across the USA to Georgia and then puts it on a ship to Felixstowe.

    Mary's story remained largely unknown to the public until 2021 when she was invited to appear at The OVERLAND Event, a festival for adventure motorcyclists. Later that same year she met with film-maker Martyn Moore who recorded her telling her story. You can see a very short version of the film here: https://vimeo.com/860157884
