MOBILITY MADNESS
Growing older is compulsory. Growing up is entirely optional.
At seventy, Jack Green has spent most of his life on two wheels. A former motorcycle club president, diesel mechanic and lifelong troublemaker, Jack isn't exactly thrilled when life takes an unexpected turn and lands him at Sunnyvale Retirement Residence.
His Harley may have been replaced by a mobility scooter named Betty, but Jack Green has no intention of going quietly.
Then he meets Maureen Mo Kelly-a sharp-witted woman with a mischievous smile, a suspiciously well-stocked handbag and an uncanny ability to stay three steps ahead of everyone around her.
Together, they create the Zimmer Rebels, quite possibly the slowest motorcycle gang Australia has ever seen.
Soon Sunnyvale is transformed by biscuit raids, tea conspiracies, scooter races, secret missions, unlikely romances and enough questionable behaviour to keep manager Helen and activities officer Kevin permanently reaching for the rule book.
But behind the laughter, Jack is facing something he can't outrun. His memory is beginning to fail him, and when names, places and precious moments start slipping away, he discovers that growing older doesn't have to mean losing who you are.
Because sometimes family isn't the one you were born into.
Sometimes it's the people riding beside you.
Set beneath the North Queensland sun, Mobility Madness is a funny, warm and heartfelt story about friendship, ageing, independence, love, dignity-and refusing to spend the best years of your life sitting on the sidelines.
Life is too short for bad tea, boring afternoons and regrets.
So grab your helmet, hide the good biscuits and join the Zimmer Rebels.
