He could have just taken a picture with him and willed the bike to someone he loved, so they could enjoy it.
I would rather look down from Heaven and see my bike cruising, with someone with a big smile on it, rather than see it rotting away underground.

Two things a dead man don't need, Tears and a Harley.
Harley's and tears are for the living.
Why waste a good ride . Past it on to the living to be enjoyed as it should be.
Give it to your children to a grand child to some hard working person that could not afford one. Not waste it.
If I am to be remembered let it be for what was done before I was placed in the ground not how I was placed in the ground.

A Mausoleum with a giant glass door would work better .... so you could walk by and see in .... (and maybe see his skeleton body on the bike after 10 or 20 years of rot ... ) unless you preserve him somehow ...

Better yet leaving the bike to a museum (display) with a picture of the former owner riding it would be nice ...

But burying it in the ground with your body on it - BAD IDEA

Naw.Somebody will dig him up within a couple a days,steal the scoot,and dump his dead *** back in the hole. Exactly WHERE is it he's being buried? Better way to do it,is like the dude who owned Century Cycles in San Pedro,Calif. Shop is still open,by the way. He set the world land speed record on a Vincent Black Lightning in the early 50's. His ashes are in the gas tank of the scoot,in the middle of the showroom.

I wonder what oil he has? Synthetic or Dino?


Yeah I agree he should have sold it. I wonder what it'd be worth?

Roy had Trigger stuffed! Back in 2010, he (Trigger) was auctioned off for a 1/4 million dollars after the Roy Rogers museum closed.

As for the guy being buried with his bike, RIP brother! A true biker who kept what was dear to him. No judgement on my part. As I see it, he rode it as he saw it!

Jeff, thanks for correcting me. For some reason I thought Roy was buried with his horse. Guess I should have Googled it!
