Five years ago, a group of dreamers averaging 85 years old ignored cancer, high blood pressure and other ailments to tour Taiwan on their motorbikes. Their exploits are now gaining global fame because of a documentary on their journey, called “Go Grand-riders.”
The group of Harleys made a loud entrance, but it was the nine riders following close behind, averaging 85 years of age, who drew the greatest admiration.
The nine were among a group of “Grand Riders” who overcame physical and age limitations to complete a 13-day, 1,178-kilometer tour of Taiwan on their motorbikes in 2007. In making the impossible possible, these riders moved many people, and their poignant story was hit the big screen.
A documentary about their exploits appeared in Edinburgh in April earlier this year and will be shown at the Busan International Film Festival in early October, turning the old bikers into international stars.
This group of octogenarians lived a dream in 2007 despite their age and their families’ worries, and that dream is now inspiring people around the world. The documentary will be shown in Taiwan beginning on Oct. 12.
