The Hearse

    On our first trip out to Laughlin I saw a motorcycle drawn hearse company set up with one on display. I thought, now this is something a motorcycle ministry should be doing. It was a very elaborate set up though that included a specificly made trike to pull it and cost somewhere over $50000, so it was just a dream for CRMM.

    After returning home we were involved in the funeral of a young man that the corsicana chapter had been ministering to and Black Diamond Motorcycle Hearse Company volunteered his services and again I was moved by it and thought we should be doing this. I shared my vision with anyone that would listen and eventually Preacher Don Allen heard about it. He had the same vision and had built his own trailer. He told me that if something happened to him, the trailer would be ours and for us to continue offering it as a ministry to bikers. Well last month, just before the officers meeting he contacted me and said he would like for us to take the trailer now as he was having health issues and didn't think he could continue it. I picked it  up and took it to the officers meeting to show it off to the ministry and gather committment from some to help pull it off.

    Tinman was the first to get on board and pulled it home to his shop to make the desired modifications, to be able to pull it with a bike instead of a trike. Tinman agreed to make himself available in his region and Wayne Anderson committed to the South East region, so I had to get a hitch on my bike to cover East TX. Well, my bike went to the shop that Monday and I haven't seen it since, so when a Cossack was run down last week, I called Tinman and told him about it and told him I wanted to offer our services. He readily agreed and went into high gear getting the trailer ready and since my ride was still in the shop, he took off and came to Tyler to perform the service. (The Triumph shop did loan me a bike for the service.)

    It was beautiful, Tinman represented us well and it was everything I visioned it to be. The Cossacks MC were impressed and very apreciative.

    I just want to thank everyone involved in making this happen.
