Rocket funeral details

[Madmax]

You got my number, Max - let me know and I'll make the spare bed up.

Thanks Rich, It looks like Brent and I are coming down on Monday. We'll leave from my plac her in Canberra Monday morning, it's about 700 kays so It'll take us the day to get there. Looking forward to seeing you guys and getting the opportunity to see the Rocket Man off. He was and will always be our brother.

Yah, barring anything unforseen I've managed to get time away from work so I'll be riding down with Max

[The Wild Wind]

Cool - two beds will be waiting.

Shit!!!!!

I met Rod a couple of times and both times we always had a good chat. The first time was when I met him was a coffee and chat session at the Melbourne hang out (Cleo's I think), the second time was the inaugural Jindy run. Please pass on all my condolences to friends and family of Rod, may he rest in the place where motorcycles are fast, and there are no speed limits.

If I could I would ride down too!

Sad news! Our condolances to Rod's family and friends

Oh no..................

I just looked at the board. Haven't checked in for a few days....

I feel ill...................

I caught up with him a few weeks back. So glad I did. His spirits were high. He finally had a better hair style. (Sorry Rocket)
As in Revs post. He was a top guy. Always riding not talking. Great company, always good for a story and a laugh. And always willing to do a good turn with no strings attached.

Good Grief I'm going to miss him...

My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Love and best wishes.

God Bless You Rocketman for making the world a better place.

This is never a good thing. He went out knowing that he had friends and family that cared about him and that he would be missed. RIP Rod. Time for the giraffe to raise his cheeky eyebrow one last go.

We need a guard of honour of bikes, headed up by a giraffe! Can anyone get one at short notice?

I must say it gave me a little jump again when I saw that head pop up on a new post.

[The Wild Wind]

Oh, and add to that the fact that I was just listening to some music that Rocket gave me!

Im not involved in any of the arrangements nor know of any details as yet. But I would suggest that the Melb mob might meet up at maccas cnr springvale rd and maroondah hgwy Nunawadding, weve often met there in the past at that location for heading out towards Lilydale. So those involved in arrangements please cosider that meeting point before all heading out to Lilydale.

[Busanthony]

Sounds good, what time you leaving Mcdonalds?
