Convoy of motorbikes on Penistone Road

Recommended Posts

About an hour ago I saw a convoy of motorbikes following a hearse on Penistone Road, there were dozens of them.

 

It gave me goosebumps, I just wanted to give credit to the bikers and the organisers of such a respectul tribute, I don't know the name of the person whose funeral it was but I'm sure that their family would get much comfort from this show of support.

Did they look like the guys from that Clint Eastwood film?

Like them or loathe them, bikers ALWAYS give their own a great send off

They came along Deerlands avenue and made quite a sight.

There were loads of them in the Bottom Red Lion in Grenoside.....I guess they were part of the same group.

I didn't notice the hearse but obviously all of the bikes caught my attention.

 

Hardly any of them were wearing helmets though - yet the police motorbike escort didn't seem bothered.

Why would they? It's a funeral procession, generally quite slow and none of the riders are going to be going that fast. What would be the point of needlessly harrassing a large group of respectful bikers who doubtlessly, at all other times, wear a helmet as required by law?

Yes, I noticed there was only one guy at the back wearing a black motorcycle helmet. I don't know if not wearing a helmet is part of the "respect" process or the escorting police cyclists did not care. What a great send-off for the guy. RIP.
