Paving the Way – Marge Hummel
Our preview of the “Paving the Way – The Women of the Motorcycle Hall of Fame” exhibit, continues with a look at Marjorie Hummel. The Sturgis Buffalo Chip® and the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum & Hall of Fame are excited to bring Sturgis rally-goers another sneak peek into this unique exhibit.

In 1939, at age 25, Marge Dwyer was the first female long distance rider to attend the Black Hills Motor Classic. Her first bike was a used 1935 Harley-Davidson which she used to commute to and from work. In the spring of the 1938 she purchased a new 45 cubic inch Harley-Davidson and hit the road in 1939 with her 19 year-old sister Angie to tour the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Northwest. They lived out of the two saddlebags and one suitcase and dressed in canvas helmets, boots, breeches and leather coats.

In Washington they hooked up with the Tacoma Motorcycle Club, riding with two members to the 1939 World Exposition in San Francisco before heading back home to South Dakota, via the 1939 Black Hills Motor Classic. When they returned home to Hurley, South Dakota, the total mileage for the trip was 6070 miles.

Marge was the very first woman to compete in an official Rally event.
