Remember the Little Ol' Lady who threw a leg over a motorcycle in front of the Iron Horse in downtown CDA for an impromptu ride -- you know, the Granny caught on film by Bob Salsbury and galpal, Kris? Well, that was Becky Becker Herrmann, 79, former owner of the Ponderosa Golf Course (1974-76) and Becky's Health and Nutrition (early '80s). She dropped by the office this p.m. to introduce herself. Seems she was en route to a salsa dance at Post Falls when she spotted the chopper. As she gave it a good once over, its owner, a unidentified Spokane firefighter, looked up from his chow and asked her if she wanted a ride. Becky, a long-time dancer who's in great shape for her age, said she hiked her short skirt dangerously high and climbed aboard for a quick trip up Sherman and down Lakeside, ending with a hard U turn in front of the Iron Horse. Of her Lancelot, she said: "He was a gorgeous hunk of a kid with a bit of a gut. I had plenty to hang onto." May Becky's kind increase.

Question: What shape do you think you'll be in at 79 years old?
