How cool will this be?

Having grown up in Venezuela and my Grandparents living in Canada - there never was much of a chance for us to see each other. As a matter of fact, I've only seen my grandmother three times.

Anyhow, I have decided to ride up into Canada this summer with 2 other friends just to see "Grammy" and just got off the phone with her. She is turning 90 in November and is mostly deaf, but with help from my uncle and aunt, I was told how she used to ride around with my Grandfather on his Army issued Indian during WWII and she is looking forward to riding again!!!

God bless her. 90 years old and she sounded like a young teenager again when she heard "motorcycle".

This is going to be awesome. Three friends, the road and grandma................priceless!

Can't wait!

Hoggles,

Good onya mate,



You had better take a bag of lemons for her, so she can suck on them to get the smile off her face or she might end up looking like your avatar.
