Pepper Massey honored

13/12/2007 by info.

PEPPER Massey has been named by Cycle Source magazine as its Woman of the Year 2007. Massey, who was named Director of the Sturgis Rally Department late in 2007, was previously employed as Director of the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum and Hall of Fame.

“When our readers first voted Pepper as Woman of the Year,” says Chris Callen, Editor of Cycle Source magazine, “I wasn’t sure what to write. I mean, I knew a little about her history, but after a phone interview, where I got a first hand account of the work she has done, and the passion she has for the history of motorcycling, I was thrilled with their pick.”

Speaking about the honor, Massey herself said: “I can think of countless other women who deserve to be recognized more than I. However, I am truly grateful for the recognition and humbled by the honor. Like many others I work hard because I love what I do, which makes it feel less like work and more like fun, even on those challenging days. But the best part, by far, are the people that I have met, and the relationships I have developed as a result of the time I’ve spent around motorcycles. I have been blessed, and I’ve had a great time getting here!”
