80-year-old grandmother on a Fireblade

One of the guys at our local bike club is 82 and runs a Yam R1  . He is forever changing his bike and is really keen . Another friend who lives on the coast was a high mileage rider , regular trips abroad , mainly on a Goldwing until this year [ his 86th ] his doctor told him to downgrade to a lighter bike . But not fancying a middleweight and him being  6ft  7  &  25 stone ,has decided to pack riding in . I don"t think we noticed old bikers in the past as there were so many riders  , but now things have turned full circle especially in the custom bike / trike scene , it"s now rare to see anyone under  40  on a bike . The  most prolific biker in our family was my sister-in-law"s grandmother who along with her hubby had ridden bikes since the early 20th century .Many years ago she refused lifts home from a visit ,in our cars - but always made me get my old  Royal Enfield Super Meteor +  sidecar out to run her home . She always got on the back scorning  the dry &  semi-comfort of the big chair - she  did this into her 90s .

I have been trying to convince my piano teacher, church organist mother to shoot one of my AK47s. If this grandmother can ride on the back of a 1000RR, I think my mom could sling a little hot lead!
