“there's always someone isn't there, that has to put the unreasonable comments, and from someone who knows nothing about brotherhood & respect, get a life man, and a grip, if you don't like the way we pay our respects to someone as special and popular as maverick, then move on and don't get involved, you will never have the respect that man had, and i doubt you'll have so many people at your funeral. anyway why am i waisting my time on you,
R.I.P Maverick and see you on the other side, you will be sadly missed. my thoughts are with you anne,
love & respect always to the rest of west coast brothers & ol ladies, my closest family, you did maverick proud.
luv ya”

“Very humbling. Very poignant. Very gracious.

I'm not a biker nor a Hells Angel, but Paul and Big Oaf should be very proud of the effort they and their brothers made to provide Maverick with such a marvellous send off. It's a great shame the rest of society can't show such brotherhood of man. You've certainly taught us a lesson in humanity. Thanks.”

“its about respect whitch there is very little of in this world we live due to law,s we live by and the justice system that we have lets learn from this and teach all our youngsters the meaning of respect like that what was observed that day and just maybe we can start to make our world a better place R.I.P MAVERICK”

“RIP Maverick ride free L&R hemi”

“MAY HE RIDE FOREVER FREE ON THE OTHERSIDE"""As the grass is much greener,,, ROCK-ON!!!”

“Terry you half-wit. Shut up. The helmets were removed during the supervised escorted procession. Hav you ever been to a carnival and seen people parade standing and walking around on the back of flat bed lorries etc? Didn't you see the Hells Angels ride helmetless for the Queen's procession on TV? Get a life, by the way you are stressing yourself over such trivial matter, it'll be your funeral next, and I doubt you'll get the turnout and respect that Maverick got.”

“Methinks that there are a million and one more important things to be worried about in the world at the moment than some bikers not wearing helmets as sign of repect for one of their own.

All the people on this thread who are getting wound up over such things need to chill out as you will probably die very young of a heart attack if this type of thing bothers you.

As for the procession itself, a very fitting way for the Angels to send off one of their founders and leaders.”

“I can't believe you find such insignificant issues to worry yourselves about. Today was an amazing event that showed true brotherhood. The procession to the crematorium was at the most 20mph and police led. Who really cares whether helmets were worn or not. The love and respect for a lost brother far outweighs the pettiness of most of this thread.”

“What a way to go. Nicely done folks. It must of been a great source of strength to his family, knowing that all these people made the effort to see him on his way.

As for helmets .. i saw more warn than not and although the law is to wear them, it's the choice of the riders to take the consequences. Lets face it at the speeds they were going, the greatest danger was them toppling onto the bike next to them. I am confident that had they gone faster, they would of warn them .. after all neglecting safety is a sign of disrespect and i don't think these people would of tolerated it, not at such figures funeral.”
