Maybe. I have rode to one before but it wasn't because of a motorcycle. Even if she hates motorcycles it might make her feel good that people would do that for him.
Someone could even talk to the family and let someone know that a group wants to ride there out of respect for him. It was a car that hit him so is everyone going to take the bus? And what about the people that only own a bike? They need to get there. What if they know him and don't know about his mothers hate for bikes? James |

It's a dick move to the mom. No need to upset her when she lost her child.
If you lost your daughter to something like this, would you like it if one of her friends showed up supporting the very thing that took your child's life? It's got to be hard enough to lose a child without people wanting to be douchebags to you at the funeral. Almost Fred Phelpish. Last edited by Trip; 04-21-2010 at 01:42 PM.. |

If it were a large group ride to the funeral, then yes. Alone, no, I wouldnt.
I would want my friends to ride to mine if I died on a bike.

If the friend didnt mention anything, then probably no though. I know if I go on my bike I want a damn parade and some good music, bbq and a party. My mom will hate it, but everyone knows my wishes. And cremate me I can travel to all the places I loved. |

Exactly. And Mom WOULD hate it but on the other hand she would LOVE the fact that there was so much support, no matter how it showed up at the funeral home.
