74yo great grandma wins BMW mileage contest

So, when you are 74 years of age will you be up to the riding rigors that Ardys “Queenie” Kellerman faces each year? In 2006 she rode more than 80,000 miles to win the BMW Motorcycle Owners of America womens mileage contest! Guess she just doesn’t like to stay home. :-) She started 35 years ago with a little Yamaha, moved up to a Honda CB360. Since then BMW has been her motorcycle of choice. Queenie has completed 4 Iron Butt rallies (11,000 miles in 11 days) and innumberable Saddlesores (1,000 miles in 24 hours). Thousand mile days are routine for her. Read more about this remarkable woman in the BMWOA article.

I,m only 60 and hope to qualify for Iron Butt before I reach 75.

Ardys has the knowledge it takes and the skill and determination to complete anything she tries.

What role model! I adore Ardys Kellerman. I don't know her but she inspires this 50 something year old female solo rider. I wanna be just like her when I grow up!
