Reverend Ray Biddiss Who Has Become the First Man to Reach 100mph in a Hearse
Revving reverend Ray Biddiss has sped his way into the record books after becoming the first man to hit 100mph in a HEARSE.
The biking Baptist minister set a new Guinness World Record of 114mph on his customised 2.3 litre Triumph III, dragging a glass coffin carrier behind him.
He set the new record - 24 mph faster than the previous top speed - at the 3,000m runway at Elvington Airfield, York. Roy, 57, said: "I wanted to do something different and this was such a buzz - I have never experienced anything like it.
"I would like to have another go and get faster but I don't think I would get away with it with my wife."
Racing Roy, from Bradford, Yorks, has been a biker for more than 40 years and turned to God in 1996.
After a close shave while out on the road he decided to build a customised hearse to ferry people to their funerals.
He added: "I nearly got wiped out on a ride and realised if I had done I would have to be carried to my funeral in a car, and I didn't want that.
"I know some people get taken in a motorbike sidecar but a true biker wouldn't be seen dead in one of those, so I came up with the idea of an all-in-one hearse."
Roy spent GBP 20,000 buying and converting the Triumph III - the biggest production bike on the market - into the Rocket Hearse.
Now he uses the three-cylinder hybrid vehicle, which he designed himself, to take coffins to personalised funerals.
His services often feature rock music, videos and webcam link-ups.
Hearsy Rider Roy added: "The Rocket is one of a kind.
"So many bikers agree that a motorcycle hearse is the only way to travel and a few non-bikers have shown an interest too.
"This is for people who want to go out the way they...
