A Puerto Rican biker attended his own funeral on the back of his beloved Honda
racing motorcycle, ananova.com reports.
Hell's Angel David Morales -
blasted to death in a gun battle in San Juan - left instructions that he wanted
to be buried with his bike.
So undertakers mounted him on the machine,
carefully hiding a series of body braces underneath his clothes and covering his
eyes with wraparound sunglasses.
Finally they placed the display between
two torches so mourners could pass by and pay their respects.
Morales'
favourite album - Meatloaf's Bat out of Hell, which has a biker bursting out of
a grave on the cover - was also played at the service.
His uncle Jose Torres said: "He went out as he would have wanted. It was the
last gift we could give him to honour his wishes."
A spokesman for the
funeral company in San Juan explained: It was an unusual ceremony - but we aim
to please
