BUCKHEAD RIDGE, Fla. What do you get an 84-year-old lady for her birthday? That's what Carol Brown was thinking a few weeks ago.

I did this for my moms 70th. bithday 4 years ago. My Ex took her all over Candler riding his Harley. She was thrilled to pieces! Now she can't remember it at all. Breaks my heart!

She remembered while she could girl and that is the important part.

How did 'good news' make the newspaper when its usually the 'bad news'? Great pickup off the wire service.
We all can help the elderly by visiting them in the nursing homes. We take our yellow Lab and the old folk love it as their faces light up and tell us a story that warms our heart. Just visit. Money isn't everything.

Great story! My aunt rode an Indian motorcycle back in the 1920s and it was the ride of her life. The 84-year-old in this article received a wonderful present.

Those folks in the nursing homes always appreciate a visit from a sweet dog or a sweet child.

What a nice story. On vtwinmamma website there is a photo of a woman, her husband and her mother (80's) who went on a ROAD TRIP through Alaska with them. What a great photo-she is grinning from ear to ear. They said they could hardly pry her off at night to sleep.

Reminds me of a movie I really enjoy and recommend with Anthony Hopkins based on a true story.

"The World's Fastest Indian"

This is a very heart warming story!

What a wonderful gift. The gift of time can ever be replaced by material things.

I bet she thought she was living "high on the hawg". Yes, pun intended!

What a great gift! I love my Harley and hope that someone will ride me around the block on it occasionally - or at least start Hoss up so I can hear those Vance & Hines when I get too old and weak to ride!

'm with you on that one!!! Make it an inheritance, stipulating weekly/daily hog rides!

[Thats a great story]

Unbelieveable!! I hope when I'm 80 my children will care enough about me to do something that spectacular for my birthday.
