Buried on his Harley
Billie Leo Standley died last weekend from lung cancer, but before he died, the 82-year-old wished for the world to know he was going to ride off to heaven. To accomplish this wish, Standley and his family made arrangements for him to buried in a Plexiglas casket riding his 1967 Harley-Davidson

Standley had long told people he wanted to be buried on his bike, and he began making arrangements several years ago, long before he was diagnosed with lung cancer this past Christmas. The first step was to purchase three burial plots next to where his late wife Lorna was interred. The space was necessary for the 9 foot by 11 foot casket he needed to hold his Harley.
The casket was completed about five years ago, and it sat in Standley’s garage where he was eager to show it to visitors.
“If you stopped by his house, he showed you his casket,” Roy Standley tells the Daytona Daily News. “He was proud of it.”

winter is only a time to put away your motorcycle if you decide not to use it to create a snow or ice machine
Here, in 1913, motorcycle company Harley-Davidson decided that winter motorcycle designed for ice roads - there is a niche market. And quite original unit built almost real ice bike. Note: the normal drive to the rear wheel. Wrap the chain wheel (or two?) Complemented by two side-skating skis are protected from falling through mover in loose ground, and dual front ski provide acceptable stability and controllability. Basically, a viable solution, but here's the problem: it was suitable only for sufficiently good (smooth and without a lot of snow) ice - in all other cases and could easily stall and just lose control.
