Respectful Bikers

One more drive-by picture before I go on to some other trivial subject.
.
As we were jug-juggling along the highway last week, we came upon a biker funeral procession.
.
Another first!
.
Because we were in the tail of this procession, the only picture I could get was from the rear.
.
I wish I knew the details of a biker funeral. Maybe some of you can shed some light.
.
The procession was escorted by a State Trooper. You can't see them in this picture but there was an American Flag on each bike....of the ones we could see. The procession was very elegant and impressive.
.
Approaching cars on the other side of the 4-lane highway were pulling over to the side in respect for the procession.
.
It makes me proud that Americans (or, maybe it's just Texans who do this) will demonstrate their respect in this manner. Do other states do this?
.

This second picture is when they veered into the left lane to make a turn at the little town of Ralls, Texas.
I meant to check the Lubbock paper to see if I could find an article about it, but my mind slipped a cog. Maybe, if something was printed, I can still find it.

Just another tidbit in the life of In_spired...
