Maybe the motorcycle he wished for in his youth would bring some excitement back into his life? To his surprise, and after a fair amount of sweet-talking, his wife Gwen swallows her reservations and goes along for the ride. With their new wheels, full leather biker outfits, and whole new personas, they saddle up for adventures that push them out of their comfort zone into a heart-warming self-discovery with every tick of the odometer. From a run-in with a vindictive skunk, a pet squirrel funeral, a police chase, and much more. . . Spike and Babe is one road trip you will not want to miss.
