He said he wanted to be buried this way. He built the casket and stored it in his garage until he needed it. It took 3 graves to do it, but he is buried on his bike next to his wife. http://www.daytondailynews.com/gallery/news/national/ohio-man-be-buried-motorcycle/gCHMz/#4480085
Pretty silly if you ask me...that bike probably still had a lot of service left for someone, like a favorite relative or even donated to charity. Some people just can't fathom the idea 'you can't take it with you'
Pharaohs , Vikings and Native Americans all went to their respective Next Spiritual plain with prized possessions - so it seems to me quite reasonable = "Born to be Wild"
Materialism ftl. I can understand people wanting to be buried with their wedding rings, but this is a little ridiculous.
This was on our local news tonight. I fell asleep during the news and woke up to this story. I thought I must still be dreaming. Who would do such a thing? Well, this guy. There is a video on the news page. http://www.10tv.com/content/stories/2014/01/31/oh--buried-on-harley.html
