Dead Biker Rides His Motorcycle

Dead Man Riding Motorcycle
Creepy, and the problem is that it's not the first time that this has happened. A funeral parlor, on the biker's request, instead of putting the corpse in a casket for mourners to see, mounted the man on his favorite motorcycle. So the dead embalmed biker is sitting on his motorcycle in the funeral parlor. Creepy..?? Sounds more like a George A. Romero zombie movie in the make.

Like I said, it's not the first time, but I still find it creepy. On top of that the biker is not ATGATT, but then at this stage, does he really care? I can't find where this happened, and more important.... did they bury the motorcycle with him??

So he was speeding happily on the Yamaha Vmax, at times doing 172 kph in the 50 kph zone. And he was doing this always around the same time (late at night), wearing very distinctive clothing...........
