Fast Final Ride

FAST FINAL RIDE

What has three wheels, carts dead people around and turns a 17.61 in the quarter-mile? That would be Rev. Paul SinClair’s Triumph Speed Triple, er...hearse. Rev. Sinclair, a.k.a. the “Faster Pastor,” is dead serious about his sidehack hearse service, giving Great Britain’s dearly departed the rides of their (after)lives for roughly $600 to $750-wheelies and

hurnouts included, if those are on

the decedent’s last wish list. One happy client, whose grandfather took his final ride in the 885cc coffin-carrier, said, “It has always bothered me that a biker gets carried off in a car; it’s undignified and not appropriate. If a sailor dies and wants to go to sea, you wouldn’t put him in the back of a Volvo.”

Special requests are accommodated, too, including a gentleman who asked for a postmortem flying lap around the famed Isle of Man TT circuit-which has to be the definition of going out in style. Mike Keller
