yes, they have, unfortunately a guy named ian leatherbarrow, was riding from john o/groats to lands end, when he was blown by a gust of wind into the path of an on coming car, it was big news at the time, well in scotland anyway, near aberdeen i think, his wife used this bike and side car for his funeral or one like it., a very good friend of mind, sadly missed.

My farther-in -law died at 60 yr old, and had been into his bikes, we had this one or similar as a send off followed by a few members from his club on bikes!!

A fitting send off for a good man!!

matching immaculate 110 sw as limo, saw them by chance in lro mag

thanks sedger, that's the one, his funeral was outstanding, he was a member of several bike clubs and most turned up on the day. :thumbs

I used to be a biker but if i got killed whilst riding i don't think my family would appreciate my final journey to be in that
