Hi Folks,

I received an email from a lady in Tillycoultry explaining her mother is 70 in January and has always wanted to ride a Harley but now at her stage in life her best option is to ride as a passenger.

She's looking for a volunteer in the Bridge of Allan area who could give this lady a ride on their bike as a surprise on her 70th Birthday.

We did this up in Aberdeen once for an old guys and arrived in a party of bikes so he could choose which one he wanted to go on.

If you would like to volunteer or know of someone who would help out please get in touch with me and I'll pass on contact details.

Thanks for the info Dave, done this a few times for various causes over the years, always fun, especially the shocked look on the faces and the big ear to ear grin afterward.
If its February, it will be my 60th as well a few weeks later!!!!!!

I have a FatBoy and the lady is welcome on that, but if any of you guys with a Glide come along you are welcome to do the honours and transport the lady if you so wish.
