Dads Funeral

Discussion in 'Ducati General Discussion' started by brad 1970, Mar 20, 2022.

  1. Hello everyone thank you for allowing me in and apologies if this post is not correct

    My dad was a 1960’s Ducati owner and my mom a pillion and a life long fan of the Italian Dream as he called it

    When he was 70 he even had a ride out with a group of 20 Ducatis from this forum ( he was pillion).He never lost his love of Ducati . Even his watch was Ducati!

    Sadly my dad passed last week aged 82 and without anyone knowing I am testing the water to see if anyone knows if I could get a couple of people to just be outside our house giving the bikes a rev when his hearse leaves on his final journey ( I want it to be a complete surprise and it’s the very last thing I can do for him )
    It will be Thursday 14th April approx 12.30
    We are in Smethwick just north of Birmingham ,
    I know this is a big ask due to fuel prices at the moment but as I say I’m just seeing if feasible
    I’m also willing to donate towards fuel
    Thank you
    Brad
