Rose, who lives in Leverington, thought that she would be enjoying a quiet family meal at her daughter Sam's house - until she was asked to step outside.
Bikers from the Rutland Chapter, all in shiny Harley's, circled onto the drive way in Back Road ready to surprise her yesterday (May 20).
"I am absolutely overwhelmed," the former hairdresser said.
"I thought that we would be going out for tea somewhere tonight so I keep asking Sam where we would be off too.

"I always wanted a Harley Davidson when I was younger but I just never got round to it.
"I love the look of them and I think just hearing the sound of one can make your tummy flip."
