I met up with a very interesting lady yesterday. Grace McKean has been riding a 1947 Harley Davidson since she bought it in 1948. She's 76 next month and lives in Running Springs.
"I was sent out here to Catholic School from Illinois," she said. "But I realised this was riding country. So I left school a year early to get a job so I could earn some money to buy a bike."
She is also a member of the Motor Maids group and looked the part in her uniform of white leather jacket and black leather pants and boots.
She came up to meet with Big Bear Choppers who are weathering the economic storm by selling their bikes overseas.
As well as the '47, McKean also rides a Sportster, a couple of Indians and a Kawasaki Drifter.
