Stopped by the dealer Saturday to snag a mirror clip. Next to the parts counter is a glass display case with BMW motorcycle models in it. One of them was on older R with a coffin as the sidecar. I thought it was pretty cool. Not $150 cool though.  _________________ 93 LT (x2)

There actually is - or at least was, a guy with an actual motorcycle hearse - the sidecar was modified to carry a coffin - he rented out for biker funerals. Don't remember if it was a BMW or not - and don't know if he's still around. _________________ Jim

We have a number of such outfits in the UK (as I'm sure do you) which perform funerals specifically for motorcyclists.
This one's in Leicester

We've got 1 here in Iowa as well, cept it's a hand-built trailer that he pulls behind his Hardly Ableson Trike.
