The Inspired Tour
An inspirational journey that spans over a century.
It was 1915 when Ford rolled it one-millionth Model T off the assembly line. Babe Ruth hit his first home run and 25,000 women marched in New York City demanding the right to vote.
Effie Hotchkiss was a spirited young woman who worked on New York's Wall Street. At the age of 26, she heard the calling to 'Go West.' On May 2, 1915, Effie started out for San Francisco with a goal to see the country but little did she know what this trip would mean for her. This trip would secure Effie's place in history.
Effie didn't make this trip in a Ford Model T. She traversed the country on a motorcycle. People didn't believe she could or she should make this trip. Not only did she defy the norms of society in 1915, Avis and Effie Hotchkiss became the first women in history to ride a motorcycle from coast-to-coast, inspiring generations of women riders.
