Sometimes you almost wish it was. I wonder if I can sell Billy a restored tractor and manure spreader to usher off the rest of us.

Hi
Why not there are lots of bikers needing a funeral at some point just like the rest of us. There was a 90 year old guy that was the first person to drive a JCB excavator in Bristol England in the 1950's, that recently past aged 90. His coffin was driven to church in the front bucket of a JCB 3cx. I watched the video on youtube last night.
Regards Robert

We have had a couple of biker funerals locally, the Reverend is a biker and takes the coffin, on a side car, for a burn-up (no pun intended) on the way to the burial site or crematorium.

Funeral home close to me has one. Had it for years now.

That's the ride I want. Why ride in some oversized station wagon?

Makes for a good send off.

Remember a story about a Ohio farmer who had his coffin painted red with IH logos. They hauled him off on an equipment trailer pulled by his tractor. Bearers all wore bib overalls. Whatever ...

Brother rode till a drunk forced him off the road and he was paralyzed from the waist down. He was a practical joker. The day we buried him, the keys got locked in the hearse and he could not be gotten out till they guys went back to town and got the extra keys. He would have loved it.

I'll have to show that to my wife. Motorcycles have been a way of life for me and her too since she hooked up with me 40 years ago. I've owned 41 different motorcycles at one time or another, got three of them in the garage now.
Maybe she will send me up your way for my last ride. It would probably be more fitting for me than laying on a hay wagon being pulled by my old Farmall.

I told the wife and kids to burn me up and toss the ashes in the spreader when they clean the barn out of the last time. Put me out where I want to be and in the manner I deserve.

The unclaimed remains of 42 Vets were laid to rest this week in Phoenix. They were taken to the Veteran's Cemetery in one similar.

My plans involve a ham bone and a stray dog...

I went to the funeral of an old draft horseman who's funeral was in his house with a pump organ playing the music. The coffin rode to the country cemetery in the back of a triple box wagon pulled by Belgians in show harness. Very fitting send off for this fine man.

A friend of mine went out this way.
