Took my Mom for a ride

Post by BrettZZR »

They are visiting from (R)SA for a few weeks. Today I took her for a burn on the big Zed. Dad used to have a BMW650LS years ago and they would go on brekky runs, but I was a bit surprised when she said she would like to go for a ride.

After checking with her on the intercom I said I would open it up a bit, and gave it some in first and second. She said okay, but that's enough of that. Heh!
She said we must go again - for a longer ride. I was impressed. The ol' girl is 78!

That's pretty cool, I'm also impressed she still does international travel at 78

Thats bloody Awesome! there should be more of it. :kuda:
You would have brought back some great memories and I bet she has some amazing stories.

Did your mum ever want to get her own bike?
It all comes down to how you ride it.....
