A Hells Angel who was shot dead in a gunfight has gone for one last ride on his beloved Honda - his destination beyond the grave.Friends helped Puerto Rican David Morales Colon, from San Juan, fulfil his last wish - to be buried with his bike - after the 22-year-old lost his life in a shootout last week.
Funeral directors embalmed the body, dressed him in jeans, shoes, a jacket and a hat and put sunglasses on him to cover his eyes.
They then used hidden supports to put the corpse on the bike for the wake - with his hand gunning the throttle and body crouched over the fuel tank, to mimic his stance when riding at speed.

A Honda. Whoa.
That's what I thought - and a Hell's Angel, no less!
How embarrassing!
Hell’s Angels do not drive Hondas.
You meet the nicest people on a Honda.
A what? Was he shot by other Hell’s Angels for riding in on a Honda?

Lulu, the alleged journalist, needs to spend some time with bikers.
I literally just watched “Weekend At Bernie’s” for the first time tonight...then to see a thread like this...:)
This is so wrong.
Forget about the honda. he’s puerto rican and only 22 years old? Hells angels are old white guys. Either this is a new branch of the hells angels, or they got the wrong bike club.

Diablo’s Hotos...
LOL~
After seeing the photos, he and the Honda seem legit, and there are so many links saying that he was an Angel, that it must be legit.
Maybe the Honda was his beloved sports bike, or hobby bike, or speed junkie bike, but not his Angel’s bike.
Nomination:
Funniest post of the day.
More importantly, at the end of this news item is a link to a story about nude-gardening in England. SOme funny comments in the British vernacular.
I just wanted to add that re this Naked Gardening Day, I now understand the term “trimming one’s bush”.
Don’t drop the hedge trimmer, guys.
I’d think it almost impossible to pose the body like that after rigor mortis has set in. Does embalming a body enable the muscles to be flexible again?
