Hilda Wright, a resident of Oldham, England and perhaps Valentino
Rossi's oldest living fan, celebrated her 102nd birthday by sitting on
and revving the engine of the Yamaha YZF-R1 that the defending MotoGP
champion rode during his 2009 Isle of Man TT parade lap. Local
motorcycle shop owner Steve Shaw turned Hilda onto motor sport after
marrying her granddaughter Julie nine years ago. Shaw tracked down the
R1 for his high-spirited grandmother knowing she was a Rossi fan.
"Aren’t I lucky to be sitting on Rossi’s bike?", the centenarian said.
