New meaning to "LastRide"

revmrq · 11-25-2008, 05:32 AM

I saw this is the local paper. I thought it was interesting. Here's the site: www.lastridemotorcyclehearse.com. what do you think about this?

Interesting.....and there are several of them doing that including one in Bryan, Texas.

Another good example of "if there is a market need for it,someone will fill that need"
You have to love capitalism

Good idea. Wonder if the pipes are loud enough to wake the dead? ;)

.....Well, although I expect everyone to accept, or at least tolerate my addiction to bikes in this life, when I'm gone, I could care less what means of transport is used to get me to the plot. But, thats just me. :) (Maybe if that trailer was being pulled by a Nomad?

) Some might feel comforted by having the arrangements in these guys hands.

I have the faith to know that I'll be in Heaven when I die.
I don't care what happens to my body.

On another note, I was afraid the link was going to be some sort of suicide ride. I wouldn't like that!

I don't know about others but I do think that it is a neat service. I wasn't there but when Tim Acree "Snake" of VROC passed, he had a similar hearse. Most people were amazed by the service of the company.

Seems like a great idea. But, you could really pi&& off some of your relatives.

Might be good for them.

That's pretty cool. But no need to be so extravagant for me when I put the kick stand down for the last time.

Just cremate me, take the air filter of the Nad, start her up, open throttle wide, and shake my ashes into the intake.

Just kiddin.

I think its a wonderful tribute not only for the deceased but he family off. Most of us hold onto a tight brotherhood brought together by our love for motorcycles and the open road. I think this is a way to show that love even in death and to support the family of that lost brother. I know I have several friends that I have meet through riding and their families are very close to my family and we would do anything to help each other out.

Being part of a PGR Mission this recent summer, we provided an MC escort for a Military funeral where a similar Hearst was utilized. They are quite unstable over 50MPH, but I thought a nice touch and appropriate for a biker. Earlier in the year we were present for another funeral where the same was pulled by horses.

It's certainly in better taste than using the pillion and bungees!!
