An article found in Classic Van, perhaps some interest to all you Mankey posties, or may be you would sooner forget at this terminal of life

I'd have my ashes posted to their final resting place but they'd probably get lost. Could spend eternity in a forgotten mail bag somewhere.

For me it can only be a classic bike funeral.  Met a chap at Poole Quay last year and liked his set up.  If you go into the photo gallery, you have to double click on the pages to turn them.

A guy at work lost his dad last year, and he arranged a classic bike funeral, where the hearse was a sidecar setup and Bob got to ride pillion.  I believe it may have been an old triumph.

I chatted to a guy at th Ace Cafe last year who had a modern Hinckley Triumph hearse/sidecar combo. Told me he'd done a funeral where the whole cortege was booked for not wearing helmets on their way to the cemetary -except the guy in the coffin who's helmet was on top of the box!
A morbid subject but I'd like my ashes taken up to Loch Shiel in the Scottish Highlands by a few old bike club buddies & scattered. Mentioned that on another forum once & someone replied Typical, come up here & leave your litter!

Just downloaded a discful of photos Rainbow gave me today. Found this among them, taken at MotorcycleWorld, Beaulieu.

Typical, come up here & leave your litter!

Talk about laugh out loud, how funny was that! Oh don't make me laugh, its too painful. 

[Plainy Janie]

Yes as morbid as it may seem, its always helpful to talk to people about how you'd like to go.

Give us a clue Janie I'd like to go with a smile on my face.....Fat chance.

[Plainy Janie]

Not sure what you mean Rick by giving you a clue.   I'd like to use Albert Coopers hearse setup being pulled by a classic british bike, with my friends all riding behind me.  Then afterwards at my wake, I want you all to have a party with lots of laughter.

Thanks you answered my question

The photo is of a hearse from 'Motorcycle Funerals' run by Paul Sinclair who used to be known as 'the faster pastor' or 'the revvin rev'.  A really nice bloke, you can see his story on his website http://www.fasterpastor.com/index.htm and details of the funeral service are on http://www.motorcyclefunerals.com/

The Moggie van is owned by an old boy on the Realclassics bike forum.

me, I want to be taken to the crem on a Panther outfit, then have my ashes taken down to Woolacombe in Devon, placed in a rocket and sent out over the Atlantic. Woosh...... and really go out with a bang
