Funerals - Page 2

Fortunately I've never been in this situation.

I probably wouldn't ride to the funeral since it's not a "riding situation" for me.

If it were a large group showing it out of solidarity or whatever, well I might consider it.

But for the most part, I'd want to respect the mother and not aggravate her on an already terrible day in her life.

No. Funerals are all about respecting the family, even if they are off base.

His mother has enough on her mind as it is.

Agreed. A funeral is not the time to prove a point.

Reading back through... "Bike is my only transport" thing is a BS excuse. What, you wouldn't know anyone else going to the funeral? And let's say you didn't... You wouldn't know anyone else that could drive you there? Are there no taxi cabs in your town?

I wouldn't because riding the motorcycle is not conducive to wearing a suit and tie.

However, I would not let the mothers outlook affect how I got to the funeral. Granted, my relationship with the mother, and with the deceased, would play a major deciding factor as well.

No. Funerals are for celebrating the deceased life. Of course you're going to be sad but that isn't goin to brig someone back. I balled my eyes out when a friend of mine died. It didnt bring him back so I think o the crazy stuff he did.
