CYSTIC FIBROSIS RALLY - cheeky - 30-03-2009
well on weekend went on the russell tucker memorial ride for cystic fibrosis..close too my heart because i have a g/f who has had double lung transplant .thing is the life expectancy is roughly 3 years after the transplant which is wonderful for her because she has a daughter that is 11 and she is a single mum after hubs did the runner a few years back..it was too hard too cope with.she is on year 4 and time is ticking..it gave her extra time for daughter.
i have piccys of run and once i reduce them enough too fit here ill post.
but the eirrie thing is...there was a couple of guys that came off at once on same corner.
the harley that crashed once belonged too the guy who the run was in memorial for.he is even pictured on the t shirts on that bike!
i think there should be some lotto tickets bought.
russell died whislt riding of a heart attack and his motto was 'quality of life"
the pictures i have are of both bikes and how well or unwell they fared.hubs and i helped with riding them too closest mates house too be stored but got pulled up in process and hubs breathalysed.
but all was good the police only doing their jobs and were really good.
last i heard of the worst of the guys that he was in a neck brace in hosp.the other was limping and some skin off.
but all in all great ride...
270 bikes in all..fair turn up

small price too pay since i have seen what friend goes through...nearly once amonth she has too pay the $340 return fare too sydney to get checked out.she often has complications.but she is always happy and loves my dog.thats how we met my silly willy the labby wondered too her place.then a friendship grew
RE: CYSTIC FIBROSIS RALLY - Pommie - 30-03-2009
You get to feel very helpless and useless watching them and know you cant do bugger all to help with it other than be there
RE: CYSTIC FIBROSIS RALLY - cheeky - 30-03-2009
i admire danielle.she always is saying to me"how you going mate!! hows the fam and hows wilbur'(the labby).
then i say ok girl whats with you and how can i help?
she always says she is fine..
RE: CYSTIC FIBROSIS RALLY - Raging - 31-03-2009
So many nasty diseases out there, CF being one of them. Always sad to hear of people that have it, and from people that have lost family and/or close friends to this disease, or any other for that matter.
As Pommie stated, there is nothing worse then being unable to help them in any other way then to be there by their side.
Cheeky, if you want to post pictures up and resize them, try using http://imageshack.us
There you can upload pictures and it changes them to your desired size. Alternatively, try using VSO Image Resizer, which is a free download and very easy to use.

RE: CYSTIC FIBROSIS RALLY - cheeky - 31-03-2009
its hard too know how deep of channel the bike went through but from the start of the tar too the fence it would have been 70 meters at a big guess.the fence stopped the bike
