Alright. Someone PLEASE explain this.
Ok, I’ll try.
I saw this contraption as I was driving with my family on the way to Colorado. That should probably be the first point I make; This elderly woman is a CO resident. Call me loyal, but I will always make an effort to retain some normality for the residents of the great state of Utah..(people working together..)
<that song may or may not be stuck in your head for the rest of the day. You’re welcome.>
Unless of course she enjoys cross-country three-wheeling. Question mark?
Which brings me to my next point; WHAT is it?
The motorcycle helmet is deceiving, because this, by definition, is NOT a motorcycle, as I’m sure any true biker would agree. It has a steering wheel instead of handle bars, yet there is only one front wheel. Another contradiction.
I don’t even know where the go stick is! Does it have an accelerator? Is it a stick shift or an automatic?….
Questions regarding functionality: She looks like she is wearing office clothes! Could you picture your real estate agent or bank teller cruising around in this? Does it have a cover for the winter time? How is the gas mileage? Does she belong to a three-wheeler gang? Did bingo get bland? Does she have any tattoos?
Okay, I figured it out. She was involved in a very upper-class white elephant gift exchange party, and she lost a bet. Without both of those occurrences, I don’t know why any sane person would be driving this.
And yet, the way she looked at me when she saw me taking her picture makes me think that she cares for that contraption like only a mother could.
But at least I’ve come up with a name for it: the senior citizen motorcycle: it’s so safe, you’re more likely to break a hip while you’re swimming!
visual aid!
That slogan could use some work.
Once again, I saw this and instantly wanted to post it on FB and Twitter. I enjoy seeing strange/awkward pictures when others post them, so I try to return the favor. The exciting thing about this particular vehicle however, is that I saw a picture of another senior citizen motorcycle on my friend Hailey’s FB wall! So I proceeded to tag her in my photo, and together we shared a moment that, without social media websites (not to mention the advances in technology that allow us to snap and share a photo at a moment’s notice) the moment would have never happened.
Not only that, but it could have never happened at the speed that it did without mass media. Even when I decided that I needed an awkward picture of old people, within 1 minute I was able to google “awkward old people,” select, save, upload and post, all thanks to someone else who decided to share photos online through mass media.
it’s a beautiful life.
Here is a treat from me to you:

Her name is Kimbra, and she is stellar. I definitely cannot stop listening to this song. (and it’s been 3 weeks)
