anyways we did lead it, nice small group of bikes showing our mate the way to his burn up. And a nice off the limiter when we arrived.

No hymns no praying just bat out of hell, loads of laughs and ave maria :-0)

I was a committee member of a bike club (not mcc) in sa and we always used to ride in front of the hearse..family member first(if a biker) if not the club leader with a big black flag. The committee members broke off at intersections to stop traffic and ensure the hearse does not come to a stop. Non club members rode behind the procession. All the bikes would have a black piece of cloth tied to the right handle bar. All and all found bike funerals very "beautiful"

Last one I attended we were invited to the friends favourite pub where we all had his favourite drink as a cheers then we got pissed and just spent the night reminiscing old times.

This was the friend and ironically he died on a blackbird:
