Man takes dead father on last motorcycle ride

COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - A Danish man bade his dead father farewell by taking his corpse for a
motorcycle ride over the weekend, stopping at a bar for beer and a cigar.

Flemming Pedersen, 37, asked the staff at the hospital where his 86-year-old father died if he could
be left alone with him for a while, the tabloid BT reported on Monday.

Pederson dressed the rigid corpse in leather gear, boots, a helmet and dark sunglasses and walked it
out of the hospital.

Then he strapped the body to the seat of his Harley Davidson with elastic straps and drove around
metropolitan Copenhagen for three hours, visiting his father's favorite spots.

He stopped at a curbside bar, where he bought two beers and stuck a lit cigar between his dead
father's lips.

Pedersen said he had taken the last ride with his father to have a chat with him and that he felt good
about it afterward.
