:confused:For some reason they have taken it down :-(
Anyway this was part of the story:-
She's a grandma with gusto.

At age 73 and an insulin-dependent diabetic, Marie Miller refuses to let age or illness snuff out her adventuresome spirit.

Or stop her from enjoying life to the hilt.

Deciding to “just do it,” Miller recently completed a 6,793-mile cross-country, round trip journey, visiting 18 states in 23 days.

She did it solo.

And she did it on her 1997 Honda Shadow motorcycle.

‘Trip of a lifetime'

“It was just awesome,” Miller said, grinning as she recalled her “trip of a lifetime.”

well done Marie Miller. your an awesome old lady that is still full of life, or you are a senile old fogey. either way well done.

well I met this Granny and she's inspirational. she did a talk at my kids school and she was brilliant. 60+ and walkd to the South Pole plus other seemingly impossible deeds. Have a gander. http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/surrey/h...00/8722115.stm
