    Motorcycle hearse

    Check this out in the Manukau courier thurs. 20 may:
    A Manurewa man, Mike Price, has built a motorbike hearse using a Harley. You can read about it in either the Manukau courier (front page, complete with photo) or the website at www.worldsfirsttruemotorbikehearse.net

    It has two riders, one at the front and one at the rear, weighs about 600kg, and can carry up to 200kg.

    While I'm not sure I'd want to leave for my final resting place in one there must be a market for these somewhere!

    When the time comes for me to shuffle off from this mortal coil, I'd be quite happy to leave in this fashion.
    Don't give a fuck if it's a harley, honda or whatever - that'd be cool!

    Either that or burn the corpse by the roadside...

    I can just imagine a messy scene if a Cager does the "it didn't see you" thing on the big day, LOL

    I featured one about three years ago, not a bad idea.
