I have come out of retirement!!
I am doing funeral procession escort riding in Hamilton.
We wear a uniform that is patterned after the Police
uniforms and ride a Suzuki Volousa 800cc bike. The only
options on the bike are a windshield, engine guard and a
purple beacon on the back fender.
Usually there are 2 bikes per ride unless it is bigger than
40 cars. So far the routine consists of standing at attention
at the hearse while the casket is loaded at the funeral home,
unloaded at the church and then re-loaded to go the the cemetary.
We go for coffee during the church service. At the cemetary, we
ride ahead to be there before the procession and stand at attention
to salute the cars as they enter.
