In 1929, a 20-year-old Vivian Bales embarked on an audacious journey that would redefine adventure for women of her era. Astride her 45 Twin D Harley-Davidson – a motorcycle she lovingly described as a “real honey” – she carved a 5,000-mile path across 14 states, the District of Columbia, and even a Canadian province.
This pint-sized powerhouse:
*Became Harley’s first female cover model
*Met President Herbert Hoover
*Inspired a generation of riders
Over 78 extraordinary days, this petite 5’2″ rider from Albany, Georgia, became more than just a motorcyclist. She was a trailblazer, shattering societal constraints and capturing the imagination of a nation. Her rides weren’t just trips; they were declarations of independence, with newspapers dubbing her the “Enthusiast Girl” and Arthur Davidson himself calling her the “Georgia Peach”.
Bales wasn’t just riding; she was pioneering. Her motorcycle was her passport to freedom, her “key to the whole United States”, allowing her to meet local dignitaries, Harley-Davidson dealers, and even President Hoover. She became the first motorcycle magazine cover girl, inspiring generations of riders who would follow her fearless path.
