Our good friend Ethel just recently sold her Yamaha Cruiser 750 cuz she's now 83 & the bike was also becoming unreliable. Until recently she rode to Church weekly and to visit family. She exercises and is in good shape. When growing up in a Kentucky "Holler" her folks had a 30's kick start HD, which remains in her family today. She has told stories of her mother riding that old HD all around the state. Says it was fun to watch her 100 pound "Granny" Mom kick that old beast over.
We've enjoyed many rides with Ethel, whom I called "high test." Many Bike week trips, etc. She's a pistol....
