Hey Zook,
Great picture and I'd have to agree that's the way I might want to leave this world as well. I'm curious... I wonder what his tombstone looks like or reads... If anyone attended the funeral or cares to comment, I'd really like to know!!!

This wasn't an actual funeral. I was chatting with meredog and he sent me this pic. This is his yellow VTX1800 Trike photo-shopped black believe it or not. This is one of several styles of hearse trike trailers he builds along with every kind of buggy you can imagine. Herb does some amazing work! http://www.buggy.com/motorcyclehearse.html
This cemetery actually adjoins my property, and my wife and I already have our burial sites set up here. I've taken quite a few photo ops for the website — promotion photos for the bike hearses. I've been building these hearses for five years now, and finally this year, they have really "taken off." I have two more under construction right now. Oh, and by the way, we design these so that they can be gooseneck or bumper pull (we can even switch from one to the other).

Herb I was thinking...this must be a great business for someone who has purchased one. From recent experience I know that funeral homes charge a premium for the driver, hearse and transportation. Since the cost is already covered within the funeral arrangements/burial policy, a person could probably stay pretty busy. Are your sales more to funeral homes or individuals?
I was thinking of using one for a camper...LOL. Can you imagine the reaction at a campground? Put some white powder on my face and lay there!!
I have seriusly considered doing just that--air mattress --pull the curtains and "rest in peace"-----only thing that stops me is the wife is normally always with me and they are only 42" wide inside so would be snug to say the least.
Had a few that were bought directly by funeral homes but most have gone to individuals who "hire out" to funeral homes and in turn give the funeral home a small percentage of the fee.
A number of the folks who have purchased them were helped financially by a funeral home.
Those hearse trailers are amazing, Herb! Well done!!! And the photoshop paint on your trike is very believable too
Maybe the next one i should photoshop the hearse yellow to match the trike ?:Coffee:

You're site shows a bike pulling one of these Herb...are most pulled with trikes or bikes? Seems like a bike would pull it but would have a harder time stopping it.

GOOD STUFF meredog....ThumbUp...and Wheels, I dunno' 'bout Ya' Buddy...:laugh:
As far as i know everyone is using trikes with them---the bike in the photo on my website is my son. We always hook them up and run them down the road for a test run when we are done building them

Saw one in the Halloween motorcycle run this year in Salem MA, but he was gone before I could get a close up picture. I've seen a couple posted online too. Very sharp - actually makes the "exit" a little more personal, too.

I have seriously been considering painting the trike black and touring some bike rallies with it in tow.
However, i have been told that in order to get one of these hearse business's going that is almost a prerequisite that the trike be a Harley
In the event you hear of anyone looking for a trikehearse this is a list of a few .

Very nice work Herb! ThumbUp
HERE IS PHOTO OF THE OTHER ONE WE RECENTLY SHIPPED "Highway To Heaven" IS THE NAME OF HIS COMPANY
We can make the back wheels on this trike. In fact the whole --seat--storage-- "hearse" on this trike might market ?
Anyone wants one get hold of me---would be a fun project.
