Default First ride at 78
I took my mom for her first motorcycle ride ever at the ripe young age of 78 and she loved it

Good to see that she is in good health and willing to experience new things.
God keep your mother healthy and in good spirits for a long time to come!

THanks guys, I am quite proud of her.&nbsp\\; She is not as strong as she used to be, but she is doing well.&nbsp\\; She is much cooler now than I ever remember her being as a teenager
