This is the way to go! RIP.

Billy Standley was spectacularly laid to rest in a Mechanicsburg cemetery on Friday while seated on the back of his 1967 Electra Glide cruiser thanks to the handiwork of five embalmers and a metal back brace and straps. The 82-year-old motorhead succumbed to lung cancer on Sunday.

That is cool! As an embalmer, I can tell you that that was no easy task!

 

Cool, but that story is two years old and we saw it then.

 

Guess I should have checked the date.

 

Some of us haven't been here for 2 years. Thanks for posting it!

 

It's no big deal. I didn't check your join date either.

 

I see you're new to the forum so let me give you some advise. Nobody EVER posts something that has been posted before. Nobody EVER asks a question that's been asked before. It just isn't allowed. Just kidding of course. I appreciate the post because I hadn't seen it before. If somebody gets irritated because they saw it before, maybe they just shouldn't have clicked on the thread. Thanks for posting.

 

New news / old news...who cares. It's still a pretty cool story.

 

In a way, it's sort of a cool story, but to me the coolness is overridden by the fact that they are "wasting" a cool, relatively rare motorcycle. When I die, I hope people split up my cool stuff and enjoy it.

 

Yeah this was a long thread before. Here it is:

I still think that is a sad waste of a motorcycle. If I'm lucky enough to still have a motorcycle in good shape when I go, I hope one of my kids will keep it in the breeze. And I'll be riding next to the Gremlin Bell.
