Go Grandriders

Go Grandriders (2012)

This movie is about an organized group of 17 octogenarians who are riding motor scooters and small motorcycles around the edge of the island of Taiwan (about 1,178 kilometers/ about 732 miles). Despite the long ride and making several stops, there are some hazards along the way. Many of them suffer from the regular ailments of the elderly, including cancer, but that's not stopping them from going on this ride.

As a motor scooter rider in my mid-sixties, I can really relate to the enjoyment, challenges and camaraderie of going on a large group ride. The movie shows some of the beautiful sights of Taiwan and we get a chance to learn about these people.
