Riding the Road of Life…
–Paved by Gloria Tramontin Struck
92 years of living and riding packed into 256 pages leaves the reader wanting more. When will Volume #2 be available?
Gloria had parents and grandparents who were solid role models on how to overcome tragedies in life. Her tenacity was born through the experienced trials and tribulations in her family. Her mother and grandmother, both very strong women, were her role models. Gloria was born and raised in a family business environment that revolved around motorcycles. She learned to navigate her way thru the Great Depression, ride cross country (when most women weren’t even leaving the towns they grew up in), and follow her heart and her passions, while building her own supportive family.
The pictorial history included in this book makes the words visibly come to life. Instead of using the imagination to paint the picture while reading, one has the added bonus of the included pictures that bring her words to life. The best picture in my opinion, is on page 34 – Gloria, the mechanic. It depicts the “unseen gene” that she was born with.
A true die-hard, with an unparalleled sense of adventure, and leather-tough, this pint-sized dynamo needs to write Volume #2, and soon!

Written with much respect for the Grand Dame of the motorcycle world. Your example paves the way for the rest of us women on two wheels, and even those who don’t ride. You are definitely an example to live up to! Thank you for sharing!
You can’t wait for life to happen for you – you have to make it happen yourself.
Sonny’s just published bio-drama, “Dare to Be Nutter” has already garnered rave reviews. Sonny just sums it up by saying, “It’s the real story of a little boy’s dream that came true… racing vintage motorcycles, midgets and sprint cars …both on the home turf and taking it overseas.”
