A coworker saw this going down the road when he went to lunch the other day and gave me the site. Almost makes me wish I was a biker!! ---

I love the idea of the commemerative patches for the friends and family. ---

That’s pretty cool. If I did that I’d add a clause that all the bikers would have to be blasting “Spirit in the Sky.” ---

**Why A Duck** , I missed the part about the patches - I was just taken with the photos! **Gorgon Heap** , just to get everyone’s attention, huh? Incidentally, I forgot to include the disclaimer that I’m not associated with this business at all and I did check with a Mod before posting, since it’s obviously an advertisement. Just in case someone was wondering. ---

Now there’s something I wouldn’t mind paying for. Thanks for the intersting link, I sent it out to some of the lists I’m on. ---

We are in the biker community and I know most of 'em would love the Last Ride! ---

That made me think about my adopted grandmother’s funeral procession this past December. Miss Vivian was 94 when she died and an absolutely wonderful person. I was lucky to have had the opportunity to know her. When she was 20 years old, she rode a motorcycle solo all over the east coast because she was told that that was something that a lady should not do. To quote her, “Hell, I never claimed to be a lady in the first place.” Anyway, there were 20 bikers at her funeral and they led the funeral procession to the cemetary. I know she loved that sendoff. She woulda liked the Last Ride too. ---

What a great idea for a business. One could also have a horse-drawn hearse. And maybe a classic '30’s-40’s hearse. StG ---

**FCM** sweetie, y’all oughta go for it! Heck, you could pull me in a purple bike. Course that’d be weird since I’m being creamated. [sub]I know, shut up Swampy and go drink another beer[/sub] ---

Hmmmmm… Note to self: ransom large bird on motorcycle before shooting it and mounting it on your wall next time. Note to self #2: Prize animals do not look good on the wall after being bludgeoned with a baseball bat to put them out of their misery. In the future, use big, hairy spider instead. ---

I’m a cyclist - I wonder if they could fix me up with something. [sub]There’s only a small hill up to the graveyard - honest.[/sub] ---

I had to pass this one on to a couple of bikers I work with. I’m sure they’d go for it!
