Why We Ride Films, the production team that brought you Why We Ride, the most critically acclaimed motorcycle movie of all time, is thrilled to have Gloria Struck join their Kickstarter campaign to help fund its new film I AM STURGIS.

“We are honored to have Ms. Struck join our cause,” says Bryan Carroll, who directed Why We Ride and will direct I AM STURGIS. “Gloria is a legend. She inspires people whenever she rides, and she still rides a lot.”

Ms. Struck first sat astride a motorcycle in 1941, at a time when very few women did so, and she’s been riding ever since. She travels annually to motorcycle rallies around the country and gatherings hosted by the groundbreaking, all-female motorcycle club she joined in 1946, the Motor Maids. This year, as she’s done many times in the past, she plans on riding the 1,700 miles from her home in Clifton, NJ, to South Dakota for the 75th Anniversary of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. She’s been making the trek to motorcycle rallies all over the country for over six decades.
