Ah’m Your Huckleberry II

Remember Becky Becker Herrmann , the septuagenarian who went for an impromptu motorcycle ride around downtown CDA with a Spokane firefighter April 30? Well, we have another Biker Granny in CDA — Jean Reed , 80-year-old mother of Knudtsen’s parts mgr, Mike Reed . Seems Mike, who’s been riding bikes since he was 13, began a tradition three years ago on Mother’s Day when he dropped by his mother’s home on his motorcycle and invited her to go for a ride. She grabbed a coat, jumped aboard and the next thing you know, mother and son were at Curley’s tipping back a beer. It’s been a tradition of theirs since, although, Mike sez, his mother dresses better now. And: “Every biker should take his mother for a ride.”
