Digsaw RIP

[What?]

It is with great sadness that I report the passing of Doug "Digsaw (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/member.php/400-digsaw)" Johnson after a short illness. Doug will be missed by all who knew him; a cheeky larrikin of the highest order, a keen (and fast) rider and general Good Bastard.

I didn't know Doug had gone, knew he had been sick. I bought my first four bikes off Doug when he and his brother Derris opened a bike shop in Putaruru about 1970. It was a branch of Whites who used to be in Hood st.

Was a fantastic scrambles rider way back. I believe Doug was still riding in the old buggars class.

I hadn't caught up with Doug for a few years now. Another link to the start to my riding lifetime gone, Another ghost from the past to wave to, to weep over.

R.I.P

RIP Dig - never met him but chatted in various forums - a real good bugger all right...

Just got back from Doug's send off. A good turn out. Hugh Anderson got up and spoke. They played a series of still photos from Dougs racing days. Great to see him on the old Jawa / Bultaco scramblers.

Was looking at my Skype contact list last night thinking, haven't heard from Doug in a while!

This thread explains everything! :facepalm:

R.I.P. Doug!
