So my daughter graduated from high school yesterday, and there was the obligatory party back at the house for 40-odd relatives and friends... (yes-- approximately 40 people and yes, most of them could be classified as "odd"

It was a beautiful, hot sunny day. After a few hours of spirited socializing etc., my great aunt (yes-- she's cool, and yes, she's 2 generations removed from me) overhears a couple of us talking about the Harley in the garage. They want to hear the pipes... Well-- she perks up and follows us to the garage to hear the Screamin Eagles on the Lowrider. I start the bike up, the guys start talking about the other upgrades, etc, and she says, "How about a ride?!"

Well-- we find a helmet for her, back the bike out of the garage... by this time, everyone has gathered on the porch, including the little kids to watch her hoist her leg over and climb aboard. They're all hooting and hollering.

Just as I'm about to engage the clutch, she yells out to everyone, "Put Something EXCITING between your legs!"

They're mouths drop, and we roar off!

Not sure if she was talking about me or the bike...

But when came home after the 30 minute ride she had the biggest smile on her face you could imagine!

 

now that's a Kodak moment

 

Is she the little old lady from Pasadena?

 

Great story! I hope I have that zest for life when I'm her age too.

 

too funny - glad to see some people have a good perspective on life!

put a couple hundred miles on this morning just driving around before the soupy hot air really hit NoVa ...damn its fun

 

That's a should be a Harley advertisement.

 

I've always said, If you need a pep me up get on a Harley and ride.
Great Story.

 

At the end, she told me it was "good for her"

 

Yeah, but did she have to follow it up with a cigarette?
