An Odd Sight To See on the Blue Ridge Parkway Last Month

This guy adapted a coffin into a trailer to pull behind his Harley. Interesting, but not what I would want for a MC trailer. Is the guy an undertaker and decided to to mobile advertising?

MountainMike, are you seeing this?

I saw a old leadlined-style fridge trailer win best of show at the last Americade I went to. Its a heavy choice of materials, but stylish.

I've seen one mounted as a sidecar on an old Harley and Grandpa Munster used one to build a dragster with so the idea is not without precedent. Probably kills the performance of the tow vehicle

I saw a coffin trailer behind a motorcycle about 20 years ago travelling north on I81 in Virginia. Haven't seen one since, until that pic today. Always thought it was an 'unusual' idea to say the least.

I love it.

And lets be honest now. How many guys on cruisers ride their bikes to the limit of the bike's performance? Harleys are known for low end torque, which is what's needed for pulling a casket with a big guy inside (just joking). MPG? My guess is he is using regular gas and was in the 30's to 40's to begin with. I've read that almost any trailer will seriously affect mileage.

On second thought, is that casket sitting on top of a flat trailer? Might this fellow be taking his friend to his final resting place? You never know.....

Ok picture this, you're stopped at a redlight pulling your coffin trailer and you have a buddy inside, when you stop have him open the lid and he sits up and waves!!!! Imagin the look of the driver beside you!!!LOL

Wonder if he's got some dirt in there from Transylvania?

There's a guy here in my area who puts on the motorcycle review event at the State Fair every year and pulls this:
