hey are. I suspect, however, that the chaps on the Gold Wing and the Rocket III (IINM) are not members.

Almost certainly not, however the bloke at the front on the HD with the HOG patch might be.

I'm I the only prepared to suggest their is something a bit weird in hundreds of people turning up for a strangers funeral, especially MAG types in patched denim on really bad motocycles?

Who exactly did they do this for? Why is the lonely death of a Marine any more worthy mourning than the death of a lonely window cleaner?

I don't wish to be contrary but I think the whole sentiment trite, odd and very insincere.

I guess you've never pulled on a set of combats and fought alongside men who'd die for you.

I wrote lots of longer posts and deleted them. Arguing about minor details felt unseemly.
