Just and FYI: Mr. Wade never has a problem with using all the riders in the procession although the escort service is the one that usually protests.  However, the director in charge today, a retired AF vet, does not allow any more than 2 bikes and they are to be in front of the coach.  The widow wanted us behind the coach so that is what happened.   There was no problem in the discussions with this since we only had 4 bikes that would have been in the procession.  EJ, the director told me that he had riders in front of him in the past and I told him to call me with a name if that ever happens again because no one is allowed in front of the funeral car.
