COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A Colorado family is asking for help in tracking down a stolen motorcycle that has the ashes of the owner’s late wife in a container welded to the fuel tank.

Sammy Gallagher tells KKTV in Colorado Springs that her father wanted to ride with her mother for the rest of his life, so he attached her ashes to the bike. The 1972 Harley Davidson was taken sometime between Saturday and Wednesday.

Gallagher says her father had the motorcycle at a friend’s house on the west side of the city where he was working on the transmission. The Colorado license plate on the bike is 404-RKH.
