Good story. Hopefully she'll be around and riding when it comes time for her to ride at 100.

I never heard of Gloria Struck before but sure glad you shared that story - would have liked to known her in her day. My kind of babe!

I think Polaris missed an opportunity here. She started on an Indian, she should finish on one.

It wasn't in the article. Her brother became a Harley Dealer in 1948.
