Eight decades of rumbling engines, two-wheel travel, exhaust smoke, and total badassery. Gloria Tramontin Struck has been blazing trails in the world of motorcycles since 1940 as one of the original members of the Motor Maids.

Costa Rican Raquel, 36, has been riding for about ten years- her first bike was a 100cc scooter. Starting small is a good way to get familiar with two wheels without too much pressure- they’re light, fun, and if you drop it… so what? After her scoot, she got a Yamaha FZ150i that she’s kept despite upgrading to the CBR. Her passion is superbikes, and rides her Honda internatiomally on road trips.
Thanks for the submission, Raquel!
