Taking a 101 year young lady for a sidecar drive

FlyingMonkeys · 2025-02-07T18:22:06Z

Some of you may remember that a year or so ago I was asked to give a 80 year young lady a drive in my BattleWing Galactica sidecar rig, as a present from her two daughters. That was fun, and it was well worth doing, and sharing the sidecar experience with an octogenarian. Yesterday, I get a text from the sales manager at my local Honda dealership, so I called him to see...what do you want...dang it ? {blue}:razz: He tells me that one of their customers has asked if they know of anyone that has a sidecar rig, as their 101 year young Mother that has a very long history of riding on Honda Goldwings, is wanting to take "one last ride", and they believe this is best done in a sidecar, versus a 2 wheeled motorcycle. Of course, you know what I said. {blue}:kiss: So, things are being set up for this olde guy to give a Century+ Lady a drive in my BattleWing Galactica sidecar rig. Pictures WILL be taken. And now...I throw down the sidecar challenge gauntlet...... I challenge all you other sidecarists to give a ride to someone (that is alive) in your sidecar...that is older than 101 years, and the caveat is that they must survive your sidecar journey. Scaring them to death does not count as a successful journey.
