• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Motorcycle Hearse

Watching the 10:00 news here in Michigan and saw a segment on Hometown Hearse Service in Battle Creek (Scotty's hometown). They offer motorcycle hearse service with Tombstone hearse pulled by a Harley Road King trike. This service is widely available all over the country and there is even an American Motorcycle Hearse Association. Big among biker clubs, but apparently growing in popularity among other MC riders. No plans to use one any time soon, but it may be a more fitting final ride than the traditional hearse. I just hope I get my 5,000 mile pin from BRP before then. Cost is $800 so its about the price of BRP sport rack/backrest. :D

PS - Sorry about the strange topic, but I needed to get to 800 posts.

There was a guy here that was building sidecars for carrying coffins. I think the first one was just to be different. But then he had a lot of people wanting to buy them. So he builds them out of his garage.
 
Here are two that I've seen in the area. One is from Coldwater and the other is like Marshall or Battle Creek. The photos really don't do them justice - they are amazing looking setups in person. I've seen both of these in person thought it was a really cool idea!
 
Thanks for the nice remarks about my hearse. This is the same one as seen in the Coldwater Daily Reporter. I took it to Duthcer's Funeral Home last week for a few hours.
I'll be at Chopperfest 3 at Martin 131 Dragway the 23rd thru the 26 of July. If you make only one bike rally this summer, this is one you won't want to miss. 10 of Michigan's best custom bike builders will be on hand with a bike they built specifically for Chopperfest 3. Come meet and greet all the builders. Last years winner Ron Finch, LD (Larry Davidson) owner of Davidson Express in Otsego, Mowhawk Man The Biking Life cover story for June 09. Michele Smith of American Thunder TV, and of course me the Undertaker.
This is not just a Harley event! Come drag race your buddy for just $10.00. Vendors, food, Musical guest Jasmine Cain and much, much, more. For more info go to www.davidson-express.com. Also check out www.hometownhearse.com to see the motorcycle hearse or go to www.AMCHA.com to see many differant types of motorcycle hearses.
Again, thanks for the nice comments.
Ride hard, Ride safe.

Saw this one at Jackson Wheels of Thunder. Almost makes me wish I was dead so I could ride in it. ;)

That is one beautiful ride - I saw you up at the Syrup Festival.

Thanks for the info on the 131 dragway event--- been looking for an excuse to take the Spyder there and run it on the strip.

Anyone else want to go and have a Spyder race?:D

I'll be there. I'm camping at the show, in fact. Won't be racing though but I'd love to see ya run the strip!
 
Oh don't let HDX see this - he'll want one. Actually if he goes before me, I'm supposed to bury him with his bike - HIS orders!:gaah:

Me too. I'ld like to see just how fast they really are. My friends have a pair of them, one is yellow and the other is gray. They have the saddle bags and tour pack, very sharp looking bikes. Seems effortless to spin the tire. Does anyone have the floor boards yet, they're having them installed soon if not already.
