A twinkling tale of 8 Grannies who tire of knitting and learn to ride motorbikes. Decked in their leathers, they ride from adventure to adventure. In the winter, unable to go biking, they master the computer and write down their memoirs.
The book is illustrated with exquisite photographs modelled by the 72-year-old author and her friends.
Sybil Rampen: "Old age can be fearsome, so I decided to it fun. This book is about being outrageous, the value of life in all stages, and about fun and laughter."
