Is anybody off work this Friday?

[mister c]

This is a very strange request & I'm hoping that some people may be able to help.
My Managing Director passed away last Monday & he was a big biker. He owned an 1800 Goldwing & toured all over (Spain, Norway, Portugal, etc).
His daughter has found a guy that has a Motorcycle Hurse & wants as many bikes to ride the route from Englesea Brook Chapel to Crewe Cemetry from 1pm on Friday.
I just thought that maybe, if anybody from the org would like to be involved, that would be great.
Many thanks for your time

Col

Will be at Shell Island on friday.

aww Col.. RIP your boss and friend.

my bike has no mirror so I cant ride it or I wud.

now I want to come in the car to see the bike hearse but that is too morbid so I wont.

I hope he has a good send off.. what a way to be seen out of this world..

Well, it was one of the best send offs I have ever had the priviledge to be part of & I want to go the same way. Dave's last ride was a great spectacle. About 28 bikes followed the hearse. The 1 thing that did really upset me was the complete lack of respect by other road users for not letting the cortege round a couple of roundabouts.
I even resorted to blocking them on my bike. To the complete pr*ck that tried to force thier way past me on the Sainsbury's roundabout in Nantwich & nearly hit one of the funeral cars, get a life.

I didn't think it was morbid Dave, I think its a great way to take your last ride. The Triumph on the left is the one the boss had, it was so cool

Sorry to hear your sad news Col and my thoughts are with his family and friends. What a send off! congrats to all those involved and i`m sure that your efforts were appreciated at such a sad time x

Hi Col..

I meant it would be morbid on my behalf to turn up not knowin the bloke just cos there was a motorbike Hearse..

glad he had a good send off mate .

My father in law passed away in July, and I browsed through the funeral catalogue and a bike hearse was one of the options.

Having seen this I think it reminded me that its a great way to take your last journey.

Although I'd turn in my grave if it was a Harley, Trumpets are fine.
