That is nice, what ever anyone wants to go out with is fine with me.
I once knew an electric lineman who all said was too small to do the job had a "pole truck" lead his funeral precession.

I have to agree with he "Whatever".
However some folks do get wrapped up in their fantasies. As the Harley Davidson executing (Vaughn Beals?) stated a few years back' "We are not in the transportation business, we are in the lifestyle business." 100% correct.
A couple of years ago there was a very touching story about a last ride on a Harley.
When George Roeder a Harley Davidson dealer and dirt track legend died, his son Geo Roeder took the casket containing George's body on a sidecar for a last lap around the fairground dirt track. I understand that there was a pretty big crowd that turned out to pay their last respects to a great racer and all round good guy. since I remember Roeder from years ago, that one brought tears to my eyes.

The founder of the Harley Davidson Motorcycle Corporation, Arthur Davidson, died and went to heaven.
At the gates, St. Peter told Arthur, "since you've been such a good man and your motorcycles have changed the world, your reward is, you can hang out with anyone you want in Heaven."
Arthur thought about it for a minute and then said, "I want to hang out with God."
St. Peter took Arthur to the Throne Room, and introduced him to God.
God recognized Arthur and commented, "Okay, so you were the one who invented motorcycles, eh?!"
Arthur said, "ya, that's me..."
God commented, "Well, what a big deal in inventing something that's pretty unstable, makes noise and pollution, and can't run without a road?!"
Arthur was apparently embarrassed, but finally spoke, "Excuse me but aren't you the inventor of woman???"
God said, "Ah, yes."
"Well," said Arthur, "professional to professional, you have some major design flaws in your invention.
1. There's too much inconsistency in the front-end protrusion;
2. It chatters constantly at high speeds;
3. Most of the rear ends are too soft and wobble too much;
4. The intake is placed way too close to the exhaust;
5. And the maintenance costs are outrageous!!
"Hmmmm, you may have some good points there," replied God, "hold on."
God went to his Celestial supercomputer, typed in a few words and waited for the results. The computer printed out a slip of paper and God read it. "Well, it may be true that my invention is flawed," God said to Arthur, "but according to these numbers, more men are riding my invention than yours."

What the heck. If these guys do this harley thing, then I want to be pulled around in a giant pumpkin hearse. Harley is so mainstream it's almost gay.
To: Rakkasan1
Thanks for the heads-up. I'd hate to bust out laughing at a funeral.

Here in England, we have had a company offering this service for a few years.
Check out http://www.motorcyclefunerals.com/
They offer a Harley, Hayabusa or Triumph. Depending on how fast you want to be sent off!!

I think the ol' "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust." idea works real well. Then they add me to the kitty litter, if they want to.
