Mate's farewell Ride - Friday 30 Oct

Sad farewell to my friend who was cleaned up by a car doing an illegal turn last week. He was giving his wife's bike a run after work to charge the battery.
Went to heaven in a Harley Hearse.
His son put some rain gear over his black suit at the chapel and mounted his Dad's bike for a final ride to the cemetary (Triumph Scrambler)
His wife swapped a black dress for leathers and rode behind a mate around Port Phillip Bay to her husband's cemetary and final burial.

And after the ceremony, I rode for the hills and lost the rain about 150km out of Melbourne at a place called Wilson's Promitory. My way of saying goodbye and giving the Fazer a run.

Rest in Peace
