Motorcycles were dragged into the world of the morbid and downright strange this week as family members arranged for a deceased biker to ‘pose’ on a Honda CBR600 F4 for his funeral.

The news made all sorts of publications as the family in Puerto Rico positioned the body of 22-year-old David Morales Colon sitting on the motorcycle for the funeral in what has called an unusual postmortem display.

Reportedly, after 22-year-old David Morales Colon was murdered the week before, his family enlisted the help of Marin Funeral Home in San Juan, Puerto Rico, to make his wake a tribute to his life's passion of motorcycling.

Colon's body was embalmed, dressed in shades and blue jeans, and put in the saddle of his Honda CBR600 for the duration of his three-day wake.

But the morbid motorcycle ride wasn’t the first venture into the posing of the recently passed. The funeral home in San Juan, Puerto Rico that brought together bike and biker became known for positioning a deceased young man was standing near some flowers.
