My 61 year old mom got a bike!

[darius]

She just got her permit two weeks ago and joined the Yamaha family with a TW200, her first night she put 6 miles on it in a parking lot! The next time 7 and then she hit the street and did some local stuff. When she got home her hands were bruised up from the death grip you can't really see it in the pic though, I got a kick out of this. Never to old I guess. Everyone thought she was crazy at first and I'm sure they still do. I told her I would post this "for the guys" so please leave some kind words of encouragement here for her!

Awesome. I took MSF on a TW200. Could be the most fun bike Yamaha makes if you have the right places to take it.

I just want to give her a biiiiiiiiiig hug. My mom turns 60 this April 6, she is a daring often charging female, I might use your mom's pictures to set her on a new adventure. This is very cool.

I'm 60 next month......so great to see her getting out and doing what she wants.

Most people my age come out with crap like...."I'm too old for this....I'm too old for that" etc.

When I tell them my age they say things like....."Well you've been riding bikes all your life.....and I haven't". What difference does that make? I'm still the same damn age!

It's all bollocks.....what they're really saying is they're either too lazy or don't have the balls to do it!

So you go for it girl.....show the rest of them how it's done! Wrinklies Rock! :rockon:
