Still Waters Posted January 31, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 31, 2014 An avid motorcycle rider in the US state of Ohio will be buried with his Harley-Davidson in a transparent casket. Billy Standley will be embalmed and laid to rest atop a 1977 Electra Glide cruiser in a Plexiglass casket. An extra-large cemetery plot will be required to fulfil his final wishes. http://www.bbc.co.uk...canada-25987743 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiffSplitkins Posted February 1, 2014 #4 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I just read this story on my Facebook feed. The closest thing I've seen to this is when my buddy 'Fingers' died and they had his Harley right next to his casket inside the funeral home.

Purplos Posted February 1, 2014 #7 Share Posted February 1, 2014 They better not tell where the plot is or people will dig it up to get their hands on a vintage Harley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rashore Posted February 1, 2014 #8 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Good thing he didn't ride a horse! Wouldn't worry too much about random people knowing where he is buried and stealing the bike though- willing to bet the box will be sealed into a vault before the grave is covered. And I have to imagine even if the vault was broken, the box was broken- it would be a serious task to lift the bike out of the grave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast Posted February 1, 2014 #9 Share Posted February 1, 2014 All Harleys should be buried. Even without driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neognosis Posted February 3, 2014 #13 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I ride a Harley Davidson and mine has brakes. What it DOESNT have is a required valve adjustment schedule, nor the need to adjust a final drive chain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awake2Chaos Posted February 3, 2014 #14 Share Posted February 3, 2014 This isn't a new idea, I saw this floating around on youtube at least a year ago. If you search it on youtube, you'll find it....several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
