Deep Thought of the day....

Thank you.

I wouldn't. If you wanted to ride in his honour I would arrange one after the funeral and out of eye sight of his mom. Grief makes people do and say some stupid things and not act rationally, so I wouldn't want to aggravate her pain.

You think I was serious?

No in general. But that did happen here a few years ago. The mother was totally against motorcycles and did not want a thing to do with them at the funeral. His friends ALL rode to the funeral home and afterward the mother was crying as she told them how much her son would have appreciated the show of friendship.

I guess it depends on the situation.

ETA: It also depends on my friend (the rider). What would he/she want? Am I close enough to know? If not, I wouldn't ride.

I go to a funeral to pay my respects to the family and say goodbye. I'm certainly not going to funeral service one motorcycle when I know the mothers position on the matter.
However, if i was a self absorbed prick who only cared about how I felt about the matter and could give two shits about how his mother felt on the day she buries her son then I would get all my buddies together and in a show of solidarity all ride into the funeral home and do fucking burnouts right in front of the coffin as while some tasty bitches poor beer into the casket.
Screw the mom....
Ride or die
tits or get the fuck out old lady.

We'd probably hire some strippers to give the cadaver a lap dance.

Well done. This is insanely funny to me.

I'm with the rest - out of respect for his family and their feelings I wouldn't antagonize and rub what she see's as the object that killed her son in her face. Agree or disagree with her feelings on bikes, this is not the place to make a point.

yes i would.

I had a friend die who i used to play guitar with and hang out in bars with a lot. we always joked around that if one of us dies we want to be buried in boots and jeans and the other would come to the funeral wearing the same.
he died a couple months later at a very young age. I showed up at his funeral as asked by him. I was the only one there that way. funny after the service one of his other buddies asked me to play one of my bud's guitars before they closed the casket.
you go to a funeral to pay your last respects to the one who died.
