Convoy of motorbikes on Penistone Road

[Pixie824 10]

The no lids thing is a mark of respect and generally agreed with the police beforehand. If anyone wants to wear theirs that's fine but most don't. They are always carried or ferried there in a car/van though as they will be worn on the way home when there is no escort.

Many thanks Pixie824 for the explanation. I suspected it was some tradition, and I had noticed I couldn't see where they were carrying their hats and so wondered how they would get home. I would be very privileged if I had a sendoff like that. Well done. RIP.

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.

 

Not wearing an helmet is a mark of respect to the person being buried.

Police wont say or do anything as they were providing an escort. No helmet = police escort. soon as everything is over..helmets go back on.

Dave was a dear friend who i used to ride with known as pec to his friends he was a experianced biker respected and liked by all who was killed in a freak bike accident,

Today was his funeral which was attended by many and knowning dave as well as i did he would have been well chuffed,

The no helmet thing is a mark of respect and i must say a well done to south yorks bike cops that made the procession run smooth big respect all round

 

RIP pec gone but never forgoten

I didn't know the lad personally either, but had seen him at SMC a few times in the past.

 

Always sad to see a fellow biker die, RIP.

 

As a note, I was there for the procession today in my official capacity, I just want to say that all the bikers present were brilliant, very well behaved and were a credit to themselves and the family.

 

A fitting send off to what was quite clearly a loved man.
