Specialist motorcycle insurance brokers Devitt Insurance polled its more senior female bikers to learn what it means to be a two-wheeled silver rider. Of the 50 ladies surveyed, over two-thirds felt that riding a bike kept them youthful and looking younger.

Anyone wishing to nominate a lady for the title of the UK's oldest female biker should write to: UK's Oldest Female Biker, Devitt Insurance Services Limited, North House, St Edwards Way, Romford, Essex, RM1 3PP or email: marketing@devittinsurance.com by October 31, 2005.
