22-year-old murder victim David Morales Colón really, really loved the Honda motorcycle his uncle bought him. In fact, he loved the bike so much that his family decided to display his body on the motorcycle instead of in a coffin during his wake. This is a photo that was taken during the viewing (and yes, that is a real dead guy on a motorcycle you're looking at). Good morning!
Don't go planning the same type of funeral for yourself just yet, though. This all went down in San Juan, Puerto Rico, where they have different laws about that these types of things. FYI, this is the same funeral home that stood a dead guy up in his mother's living room for three days straight.
Personally, this whole thing gives me a serious case of the dry heaves. After polling some other All About Bikes employees, the staff seems to be split -- some think it's cool, while others think it's uber creepy. We're pretty damn interested in hearing what you guys think about it, though.
Would you want this type of funeral for yourself? Do you think it's creepy or cool? Tell us in the comments section!

I don't understand our societys facination with the whole funeral ceremony.
It shows the young man as he lived and as he will be remembered.
I dont find it as heart breaking as seeing a young vital and lying on his back in a wooden box somehow.
Quite incredible mind...and certainly different!
I'm bald. I've instructed my wife to scatter half my ashes over Mt. Baldy in Sou Calif and the other half over the trainyard where I work so they can kiss my ash goodbye.
that looks like the only way to go.
But screw inviting the family, just other biker rider types.
That's the only way to have a party, and since its your last one its got to count, you being the guest of honor and all that you know.

Really quite original if you ask me.
I guess the only person who might be troubled by this is the person who buys that awesome Repsol Honda next.
I mean, it's just bad luck to buy a dead guys bike from a wreck. So what about a bike ridden by a dead guy? That's just begging for a haunting.
