LEBANON, N.H., June 2 (UPI) -- A New Hampshire woman celebrated her 100th birthday with a ride on a Harley Davidson motorcycle -- an activity she has enjoyed since 1927.

Alice King, 100, of Lebanon, said her family and Granite State Harley Davidson surprised her on her birthday with a motorcycle ride alongside dozens of other bikers, WPTZ-TV, Plattsburgh, N.Y., reported Tuesday.

King, described as an inspiration by the younger motorcyclists who accompanied her on her birthday outing, said she has been around motorcycles since she was young.

"I had two brothers that had them and a friend and it seems as though I was always riding them around," King said at her centennial celebration.
