A Hells Angel who was shot dead in a gunfight has gone for one last ride on his beloved Honda - his destination beyond the grave.Friends helped Puerto Rican David Morales Colon, from San Juan, fulfil his last wish - to be buried with his bike - after the 22-year-old lost his life in a shootout last week.
Funeral directors embalmed the body, dressed him in jeans, shoes, a jacket and a hat and put sunglasses on him to cover his eyes.
They then used hidden supports to put the corpse on the bike for the wake - with his hand gunning the throttle and body crouched over the fuel tank, to mimic his stance when riding at speed.
Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell album was played at the funeral.
His uncle Jose Torres said: "He went out as he wanted." A video of Mr Colon, of San Juan, Puerto Rico, on his bike

Ok, so it looks like he had a Honda Sportbike, presumably in addition to his Hell’s Angels bike.
Given how much of the Hell’s Angels are One Percenters, that he would be allowed a non-Harley is surprising, even though he was apparently in P.R., and the chapter there may have been more lenient. However, given how yuppified Harley has become, HA may have relaxed their restrictions on what make of bike you can ride, given that riding a Harley these days is practically a declaration that you’re a mid-level accountant going through a mid-life crisis, especially if you dress like a One-Percenter.

or this Honda tag line from ‘69......’way ahead and all alone’ for that year’s Honda 175 K3 scrambler.
SANTO DOMINGO.- The newspaper Winnipegsun.com says the motorcycle gang Hells Angels, have made the Dominican Atlantic resort town Cabarete their home in the Caribbean. “They're impossible to miss, right from the moment you set foot in the small village of Cabarete.”
The Hells Angels were in particularly large numbers last week, as they celebrated accession of the local Los Barracos gang to the rank of Hells Angels prospect,” the news site said.
Uh.....beg pardon, Lulu, but you don't know what the frick you're talking about.
I’d think it almost impossible to pose the body like that after rigor mortis has set in. Does embalming a body enable the muscles to be flexible again?
Rigor Mortis only last so long before decomposition take over so to speak.
But a Hells Angel on a Honda? and a crutch rocket no less.
LOL
1. No "Hells Angel" would ride a Honda...and
2."Hells Angel" are race based in you have to be white....
This is why the "The Mongols" was form as a non race base (mostly Hispanic) biker gang
Of course it was a Honda. Nobody would ever bury a Harley. ;>)
When you get in bad with the Hell’s Angels, they take your bike.
Perhaps they shot him. Then they stabbed him, then they hung him, THEN they took his bike.

Bwaaaaahhhhh?
A Honda?
Good gawd. . .!
It’s not even a Honda, but some exotic Italian bike. And I don’t buy the Hell’s Angel’s bit for a minute. He would be wearing a patch.
The journalist needs to find another job. I hear Wal-Mart is hiring greeters.
A Puerto Rican Hell’s Angel? Pull the other one.
The reporter probably uses the term “Hell’s Angel” to describe any criminal biker gang.
No, it's a Repsol Honda which is a limited run race replica.
>>It’s not even a Honda, but some exotic Italian bike.
Repsol is a (Spanish) sponsor for Honda’s MotoGP race team. Honda made a limited number of replica bikes. The reporter got it right about the bike. You, however, need to check your facts.
Rigor mortis is temporary. 48 to 72 hours after death, the body becomes flexible again.
Hells Angels is international with chapters in Australia, New Zealand, Germany, the UK etc. The defacto prohibition on foreign (to us) motorcycles doesn’t exist outside of the U.S. chapters. You’ll find Angels on everything from Honda’s to Guzzis once you leave our shores.
