For her 94th birthday, Alice Knipfel of Sudbury wanted to ride on a motorcycle. So her friend and neighbour, Jose Garcia, was more than happy to oblige. Ms. Knipfel's friend Carmen Petrina shared the photo with Sudbury.com. 

She might be 94-years-old, but Sudburian Alice Knipfel is not ready to give up her love for adventure.

On the advent of her 94th year on Planet Earth, Ms Knipfel had one wish (to quote Steppenwolf's "Born to be Wild"): She wanted to get her motor running and head out on the highway on the back of a motorcycle.

Fortunately, her friend and neighbour Jose Garcia was more than happy to oblige and helped make her wish come true.

According to Ms Knipfel's friend, Carmen Petrina (who shared the photo and story with Sudbury.com), the 94-year-old loved every minute of her ride.
