Motorbike minister 'helps bikers go out in style'
A minister from west Yorkshire is helping motorcycle enthusiasts enjoy one last ride by carrying their coffins to their funerals on a specially designed motorbike hearse.
Reverend Ray Biddis converted a Suzuku Boulevard 1400cc Intruder into a hearse, allowing biking fans to go out in style.
The 54-year-old Baptists minister, who is himself a keen biker, said he is passionate about introducing choice into the funeral services and believes they should reflect an individual's personality.

"I wanted a vehicle that maintains the integrity of a motorcycle, appeals to the most passionate of bikers and brings an exciting alternative to the traditional four-wheeled hearse," he said.
Reverend Biddis is not the only minister to take bikers to their funerals by motorcycle. Reverend Paul Sinclair from Leicestershire, aka the Faster Pastor, runs a motorcycle hearse company called Motorcycle Funerals Limited and also feels that people's lifestyles should be reflected in their funerals.
