Synopsis: Timerider (1983)

Synopis: Fred Ward stars in this early 1980s science fiction movie as Lyle Swann, a motorcross racer who, while traveling through Mexico on his bike, gets caught in a time warp and sent back to the 1870s. Unaware that anything has happened, Swann soon finds himself nearly out of gas and finds the nearest town. Though the locals express fear and confusion when he approaches them in his racing gear and asks where the nearest gas station is, he still doesn't realize that anything has happened. Unfortunately, he runs into a gang of criminals who not only rape and kill at will, but take him for a demon.

From that we can deduce that she would have been his own grandmother (!) who later (earlier?) gave him ("Lyle Swan", played by Fred Ward) the magic necklace that he leaves with her, as a token of their love.
