That Romance Author Lady
I took my mom out on the bike this weekend. She's been on my brother's bike before, but she's never been on the twisties. She loves them! We went Sunday, and she asked to go again Monday. :cheer:
Every once in a while she'd lean a bit funny. It was OK, not too alarming, but I could definitely notice she was doing something back there. Turns out she was admiring the scenery. The east side of Kootenay Lake is a beautiful ride, after all. All in all, she's at least as good a passenger as the kids are. The most relaxed one, for sure.
She was hanging on to the grab rails, and when we stopped for a while to rest our bums and I said if we should go down, she should let go at the last second so she doesn't smash her fingers, she thought about it for a second and said, "Good point," then climbed right back on. She's a piano player. Priorities, right?
As we were pulling back into our driveway, I got to wondering how many sport bikes there are out there on the lake road with a grandmother and a great-grandmother on them.
