SCARBOROUGH (WGME) – Motorcycle riders in Scarborough are offering an incredible experience for a handful of senior citizens.
“I reached out to Nick of the riders of southern Maine asking if it would be a possibility to come down with side cars or our residence here at Pine point in Scarborough,” said Belinda Banty, Recreational Director of Pine Point Center.
With enough side cars to go around, they took residents on a ride.
“It was terrific,” said Eileen Furlong. “It was so good, all I prayed was please God don’t do this again.”
The trip for many on Saturday was a trip down memory lane.
“I had quite a few of them that used to be bikers and really enjoyed the past time of being able to do that,” said Banty. “A lot of them didn’t think they’d ever be able to do it again.”
Organizers described seeing the smiling faces of residents as rewarding as it gets.
“Turned out to be a beautiful day to feel the wind in their face just one more time,” said Banty.
