This is show number 4 of 5 for the week! GloriaTramontin Struck first rode her motorcycle from New Jersey to Daytona Bike Week in 1951! That was a 1950 Hydra Glide Harley-Davidson. Today she ride her Heritage Softtail Classic touring America. Gloria has been a Motor Maid for 70 years! She was a great guest. Norm Nelson has competed in the last two Motorcycle Cannonballs. He finished 3rd in his first attempt, 2nd in his second attempt. Can he win the 2016 Motorcycle Cannonball? We ask him that and more! He will be riding a 1911 Reading Standard motorcycle. Joe Gimpel is set to compete on his 650 Thor. The process of prepping these old classics is a big part of the story. Navigating and riding these machines requires tremendous committment and we go inside this aspect of this unique cross country ride with Joe. These old machines only make 5 to 10 horsepower and the trick is climbing up and over the Rockie Mountains. How will Joe approach that?
