Out on a ride today with another group, was on the eruotrash playing cat and mouse with one of the boys on a Harley (he was scraping the foot boards on both sides with his stereo loud enough I could listen to it as well. Was a great day with some great blokes until tradgedy struck about 20-30ks from the top when one bloke pushed a bit to hard into some twisties missed a line and went hard into the barrier, unfortunately that was as far as he goes RIP. was an extremely sad ending to what was up to then a great day. I was having a chat to him only 1/2 an hour earlier at the Grey Gums cafe, he used to do track days and really enjoyed motorcycling, sadly he leaves behind a wife and three kids. A very sobering finish with some reflections of what could have been and the importance of staying focussed and staying within your own abilities, was a long slow ride home with a couple of the boys that knew him finding it really hard.
The emergency services and police could not have been more professional in there approach to the situation and all involved. Serves as a timely reminder of how easily and quickly things can go wrong. First thing thing I did when I got home was give the misses and little fella a great big hug.
Stay safe out the guys.

RIP VTR guy

MAX, Truer words could not be spoken, it is always very sobering when reminded how quick and easy life can be taken away and once gone their not coming back. I lost one of my sons four months ago and I still feel like crying every time I think of him. RIP
 
Read the first post and felt saddened and a little cautioned but the last post..... I have no words.
So sorry to hear that Ian.

I am very sorry for your loss Ian and Max sorry for what you had to go through, we had a ride also yesterday about 12 Bikes and at one of the roundabouts near Heathcote a mate lost the front on his new Busa and the bike crashed hard into the gutter and smashed the RHS fairings and took a chunk of the engine casing and three large cracks also. The bike is a write off and my mate Howard is ok with minor bruising and small cut to his right knee.
When i got home had a message of my phone regarding the Putty so it was not a good day for motorcycles yesterday.
RIP VTR Rider

Ian sorry to hear of your loss mate thoughts are with you, makes it so much harder when it's someone you know or family.
Your right Nick it wasn't a good day for motorcycles yesterday, I was reading a news feed and see that another rider was killed on the Dorrigo's as well

Cheers

Its terrible to lose anyone in your life suddenly especially a child but for me underlines the fact that in life as in motorcycle riding, you never know whats around the next corner.
That makes me more determined than ever to make the most of what time I have here and really appreciate and enjoy the company of family and friends. I miss the people I've lost but appreciate the time I have with the people around me now.
 
a horrible reminder to us of how tenuous life can be and a reminder to us all to cherish those special aruond us we have the present it is exactly that a present to share with those close to us those special to us and the rest as best we can as none of us know whats coming up. So sorry to hear of your loss Ian not fair mate donga
 
I think its all been said as above states , stay frosty guys and cherish every moment with loved ones
 
Really sorry to hear about the tradgies over in Oz. Prayers for the families and freinds of these riders in what will be difficult days to come.
 
When these awful days come upon us because of the passion and joy that motorcycles give us all i also reflect on the loss of family members and close mates who we all have lost and i say to myself the following words: There but through the Grace of God go I.

Condolences to all those involved. Buried a good mate the other day and it brought home the fragility of life as he was the first of our group to meet his maker. Unfortunately it involved four wheels and a couple of others but showed how important family is.
