BBQ and Catch Up


Sunday 8th November - 2:30pm onwards - My place

Hi guys, it has been 12 months since Grub's accident. I am scattering his ashes in a private ceremony on Sunday and would love it if you could come to my place afterwards for a bit of a gathering. It will be a chance to say hi to some people you may not have seen in a while, say good bye to the past year and to welcome in a new one!

So, BYO tipples, some meat for the BBQ and kick back for a relaxed afternoon. I will do salads, but if anyone knows how to make a mean potato salad I would love to hear from you :yes:

I have put this on the calendar, please register so I know how many to expect.

What a beautiful day ,Brett would have been proud of you Kari and friends.A very moving moment on top of the hill saying goodbye and what a perfect day for a BBQ with so many good friends
lol Gareth

[Bren]

Was great to meet old friends, and put some faces to names....Lovely day for it Kari, you did yourself proud (as you always do).

Enjoyed it thoroughly...

[Ms Piggy]

Thank you Kari for your hospitality and once again the awesome example you are of someone with great love and a strength that inspires us all.

Beautiful day and perfect location for Brett's final destination.

Great to meet some of the KBers face to face too :hug:

[Maha]

What an absolute stunning weekend, fanatsic feed at the Petone Club on Staurday night (the extra apple crumble was soooooooo unexpected :eek: thank you sharry :rockon:)
Sunday dawned a pearler and the top of the piecock hill was the best I have ever seen it, will, Im pretty sure it was the first time I have ever seen it.

The whole day was brilliant from start to finish, 4.30am wake up call to catch the plane out of town....sorry about the 'warm' air in the toilet this morning Tart but when ya gotta go, ya gotta go....:innocent:

Pic 1-2 self explanatory
Pic 3 Tart and MSTRS (very cool pic)
Pic 4 Bretts sister Lee arriving on the back of a Ducati (another very cool pic)

[Maha]

More bikes arriving.

[Maha]

And more bikes arriving

[Maha]

Goodbye Brett

[Hawkeye]

Hi Kari,

I'm sorry I missed the ride up the hill. I was riding the Takas totally unaware that this was happening. It looks like KB done Brett and yourself proud. And the weather certainly played it's part.

Kenny

[Sparky Bills]

What an awsome day!
Thankyou Kari for asking me to do the honours of taking Brett for his final blast over the hill.
I was proud to do it.

[sinfull]

Appologies for not being there !

[Trudes]

Appologies for not being there !

Me and Kendog too. Sorry Kari. Sounds like it was a pleasant day despite the circumstances. :hug:

[StoneY]

Sorry to no show Kari

Glad a good turnout came, had a few 'issues' to sort at home that snowballed, anyway you were in our thoughts and prayers last night cuz

Peace, and RIP Brett, you earned it

[ajturbo]

it was a GREAT ride....

great people to ride with also...

sorry Kari i was in no mood to socialize any more than i did..

but i was proud to have known such a good man!...

[nudemetalz]

Yes, was a great ride and the weather was awesome.

A moving ceremony and a fitting tribute.

RIP Brett,..gone but not forgotten.

[Mom]

Well, I was very privileged to be down in Wellington with Kari this weekend to say a final good bye to Grubb. The weather was just fabulous, I got to hug a few of the BRU crew :love: I also got to hug many of the people I met last year, and I actually managed to get through one round of Mountains O Mourne too. The plan was for two, but I could not manage that it seemed.

Here are a few pics that I would like to share of the day.

Pic 1: Scone maker extrordinare - Nana mac, with Bretts sister Flea

Pic 2: Some nice sounds in the morning

Pic 3: Beware, this is what happens when someone is stupid enough to start a thread dissing the crew - We DO NOT smell like Poo! Ok Gubby wubby :D

[denefoster]

Another thanks to Kari for organising. Nice to meet some semi-familiar faces too ! And thanks for encouraging Agata to actually get out there and ride :)

And super thanks for the trailer and Bren for stopping on the side of the road. Bike blew out power to the fuel pump. All sorted now.

Was nice to meet you :yes: and to hear that lovely accent ;)

OOOO bugger about the bike, glad it is all fixed now though.

[Nasty]

Thanks for all coming around this weekend .. and for the positive thoughts and energies sent from those who could not make it .... It was fantastic to such an amazing group of people to come and share the final lap of Grubs journey with me ... and just a total blessing ....

Having finally completed the 1000 k cruise ... Grub is now back where he belongs ... as shown in Mahas pictures .. .there is no more a fitting place for my lover to be scattered ... ashes to ashes ...

[portokiwi]

I wish we could have been there Kari, I was warned out on Sat night I might have to work, and Yes thats were I ended up.
Glad everything good.
Missed seeing those Aucklanders......

[sunhuntin]

im so sorry i wasnt there! didnt see the thread until this morning, but my weekend boss wouldnt have given me the time off for it anyway. i will look for you on the 17th and give you a big, belated hug then.

thanks for the photos... must admit i have got a few tears, though they are more out of pride and admiration that sadness. beautiful photos... just as good as being there.

[KoroJ]

Nice one Kari!

It was a fitting way to send off a biker and thanks for the opportunity to be there.

You impressed with your effort and determination to get Grub around a C1KC, I enjoyed the fang as I tried to keep up with Sparky & Sels and the Bar-b-que finished off a great weekend.

Arohanui,

[KoroJ]

And a few more pix.

[chanceyy]

Awesome pics Koro J

Kari, Brett surely would be proud of everything you have accomplished, over the last 12 mths, you have made sure Brett's death was not in vain and yesterday was a perfect fitting tribute to spread his ashes and a place we we can acknowledge him every time we pass either on the hill or on SH1.

It was great that on the 3rd attempt he got to complete the 1000k which was special as it was up to his lover to get him around the course .. I still remember you telling me how a yr ago he told ppl he would be ok as you were on your way .. so totally fitting that you helped him to complete this ride

thank you for allowing us to be a part of this day, it was really special on more than one level

RIP Brett, your never forgotten

[coffeejunkie]

Well everyone has pretty much covered it....

The biker gods gave us a great day to say goodbye to a man who touched our lives in different ways....

Alittle piece of you will live on in all of us brett and now its our turn to look after your girl which we will do with great honor....

Cheers for letting us join you Kari.....Balzy and i love ya:hug::hug:

[MadDuck]

Got back a couple of hours ago safe and sound.

Thanks for letting us be there to share the day Nasty - and a top effort on completing the 1kC.

It was a very fitting send off for Brett.
