2007 Ducati GT-1000
Carol (Zeak) Bowers, Middletown, formerly of Hollidaysburg

    Description: “I was introduced to motorcycles at an early age. My father (Pat) and two brothers (Joe and Tom) rode motorcycles. My husband of 28 years (Brian) also rides year round as long as there is no snow on the roads. But it wasn’t untill I turned 44 that I decided maybe I should take the local motorcycle course.

    “I was assigned a 250cc, I knew nothing about shifting gears, etc., but from day one I was hooked. I couldn’t believe what I had been missing all those years. It’s been six years since I passed the course and now I have the pleasure of riding two wonderful bikes: a 2002 Ducati Monster 750 and a 2007 Ducati GT-1000.

    “The GT-1000 was a special gift that my husband bought for my 50th birthday. I am truly thankful to have two wonderful bikes.

    “I now live outside the Harrisburg area but grew up in Hollidaysburg.”
