Woman Breaks World Record on 11,236 Mile Motorcycle Expedition
NEW BETHLEHEM, PA (July 07, 2016) – Brand new motorcycle rider Deena Mastracci left the California Department of Motor Vehicles on June 1st with her new license, rode out of the parking lot on a BMW® F800GT with a ZTechnik® VStream® Windscreen, and proceeded to set the record for the “Longest, Continuous Journey by a New Licensee,” which included traversing Alaska and the Arctic Circle.
“My journey was the trip of a lifetime: a terrifyingly beautiful ride and an incredible learning experience all in one,” said Mastracci. “Everything about the voyage was a challenge for me. From navigating in traffic to maneuvering through mud and ice, it was very tough. While challenging, this journey was nothing compared to the trials that our armed forces face on a daily basis, which is why the work that the Motorcycle Relief Project does is so important to me.”
Mastracci’s very first motorcycle ride was not only a successful attempt to set a record for “Longest Distance Traveled by a New Motorcycle Licensee,” but was also a way to bring attention to the work of the Motorcycle Relief Project, a nonprofit charity that helps veterans with PTSD and other injuries. The group arranges multi-day motorcycle tours and other activities and also offers counseling for veterans in an effort to decrease suicides. Additionally, Mastracci hopes her ride would inspire other women who may feel intimidated by riding a motorcycle.
Deena Mastracci’s Maiden Motorcycle Ride was sponsored by GPS Insight, First Gear, National Cycle/ZTechnik, Clearwater Lights, EarthX Batteries, Streetmasters Motorcycle Workshops and Dillon Optics.
