Louie McLean

Louie McLean née Ball (1900–1932) was a British motorcycle racer and trials rider.

[2] The magazine also printed a photo spread of the teenager helping her father in the garage and riding a motorcycle around the city.

[1] In 1926 she married fellow race rider George McLean and, shortly after their wedding, the couple both competed in that year's International Six Days Trial (ISDT).

[3] Although the British women didn't place in the competition, the team returned in 1927 when the event was held in the Lake District.

[3] A Dutch barrister was so impressed by the team's performance that he organized a sort of victory tour where the women rode approximately 7,000 miles (11,000 km) through Belgium, France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands.
