For Scott (KB Korowetere) Carpenter's Family.

[crashe]

This thread is in memory for Scott Carpenter - KB'er Korowetere (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/member.php?u=4371) who died on 5th January 2006 aged 30 years.

Scott had only recently taken up riding motorbikes, and going by all his posts on Kiwibiker, he loved learning to ride and learning about motorbikes.
Scott was enthusastic about his new bike.... that he even chatted about it on his 2005 christmas message on his own website.

I never got to meet Scott in person, but just reading all his messages, I wish I had meet him. Scott certainly lived life to the fullest and achieved so much... (again from his christmas video message.)

Scott did get to meet a few Kiwibikers, since joining up on the site.
Kiwibiker is about the community of bikers who are there for each other, help each other out in all sorts of ways.

To Scott's parents and family... you had a wonderful son, brother and uncle and friend and he will be missed by all those who meet him, spoke to or had any contact with him.



Rest in Peace Scott (Kb'er Korowetere)






Please leave a message in this thread for Scott's parents to read.
KB'er Firefight is going to print off this thread and give it to them as a memorial to Scott.

[Scorpygirl]

Rest in Peace Scott. Ride free forever.

Unfortunately I never got to meet you personally Scott but just by reading your threads and watching your Christmas video you had found a real passion for motorbikes and riding. You certainly lived life to the fullest.

I wish to pass on my sincerest condolences to all Scott's family and friends. You have lost someone really special to you all and your grief will be immense. Scott was taken way too soon, when he still had so much more to offer. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

It is very sad news indeed.

Never got to know you Scott but I'm sure you'll be sorely missed by those that love you and hold you dear. A very sad day for all his family and friends, including everyone here. While Scott had only just got into motorcycles and this site, everyone here is our brother and sister. We feel his loss. RIP brother.

[Karma]

It was true that Scott had only just joined the site here, but he seemed to be doing everything right and for some reason was taken from his family and us.

It is a sad loss, my thoughts are with family and friends.

It makes you personally live every day to the fullest knowing that things like this can come out of nowhere.

RIP Brother.

[TonyB]

Very sad news. My condolences to family and freinds.

[thehollowmen]

Prayers and thoughts with you all

[Phurrball]

This is very sad news indeed. :weep:

Someone so enthusiastic being taken from us is a huge blow - felt especially keenly by those of us of similar years to Scott. I can only echo the already expressed sentiments that I had been looking forward to meeting Scott; I enjoyed reading his posts and sharing his enthusiasm for getting into riding.

Scott mate - I'll miss your posts, and that cheeky avatar!

RIP brother.

[Zed]

I'm so sorry to learn of this tragic news. I pray that the family & friends of Scott are comforted at this time and remain strong throughout the next few months.


Sincerely,

Matthew

[mstriumph]

Meet you a couple of times, I was impressed by your attitude to safety, good ride gear, your ability to listen to advice,

enjoyed you christmas message, you seemed like a cool guy, I wish we had had a chance to ride together.

to your family, my most sincere condolences at the time of this loss.

rest in peace Scott.

It seems that Scott lived every minute of his life, travelling and seeing more in his short years than most.

Sincere condolences from my family to yours.

[KATWYN]

I was impressed by your attitude to safety, good ride gear



This is what struck me about Scott when I read his threads as well. It was that he was obviously one of the sensible ones,regarding the whole safety side of motorcycling. Thats where it is hard to understand when someone like him has his life cut short yet ones that are not careful get away with it.

[terbang]

Scott we never met though I have seen your posts. Wish we could have ridden some time but its not to be. Condolences to the family & friends of Scott Carpenter.

[FROSTY]

To Scotts family.
No words on paper can relieve the pain you folk are suffering.
I'm truely sorry for your loss.

Scott, RIP brother.
To the Carpenter family, our best wishes are with you in this time of grief.

Another young, enthusiastic, all around sensible motorcyclist and good guy bowing out well before his time was due. My thoughts are with you and your family Scott. Ride on in Heaven.

Condolances to the family. Never met Scott but from what he said on here sounds like a guy I'd have a pint with..

RIP man..

[Sniper]

All my best to Scotts family and friends. Even though I never met him I could tell that he was just one of the good guys. Always wanting to learn new things and always cheerful no matter what.

RIP Scott, ride free.

[sels1]

Very sorry to hear this news, my condolances to Scotts family. I remember posting on some of his threads and thinking that he seemed a good sort - a person who made a positive contribution to Kiwibiker. R.I.P comrade.

RIP Scott... thoughts and prayers to the family and friends... sucks to lose someone, even more so this time of year

[MSTRS]

Never got the opportunity to meet Scott. We are the poorer for that. A tragedy that is all too common.

[MidnightMike]

Very sad news.:weep:
Condolances to friends and family.
RIP Scott, aka korowetere

[Goblin]

Although I never met Scott in person, I was touched by his enthusiasm toward life in general. He contributed so much to Kiwibiker in his short time on here.
My heartfelt condolences go to Scotts family and friends.

[Str8 Jacket]

I never met you, but RIP Scott.

My condolences to your family and friends.

[Colapop]

For Scott,
Ride well, feel the wind in your face and let the endless roads you now ride lift your spirits everyday. Those you've left behind remember you for the smiles you created, and the way you filled their lives.
Cheers Scott,
Ride free,
Col

[pritch]

Condolences to Scott's family and friends. That so much promise will remain forever unfulfilled is truly tragic.

Rest in Peace Scott

[Ghost Lemur]

*Hangs head in silence for yet another fallen brother*

To Scotts family: For all your pain, my sympathies. I hope you can however seek
some solice and celebrate what, by all accounts, was a remarkable man who led
a remarkable life.

[RantyDave]

A poignant reminder that the lights can be turned off for any one of us, at any time, and without warning. I'm also a keen newbie rider in my early 30's. Sensible, well equipped on a carefully maintained bike - I share more in common with Scott than I'm even remotely comfortable with.

I have no idea what to say to you. I'm so sorry for your loss. I may need to consider my choice of transport more carefully.

Dave

[inlinefour]

Allways hurts when another rider goes down, fatality or not. My condolances for all the significant others that is part of Scott's life.

[Leong]

When I read about an accident on 5 January near Pukekohe I hoped it wasn't Scott. I'd talked to him a bit on this site but we hadn't met. I had only spoken to Scott via a keyboard but could feel his spirit in his words. He seemed a real nice guy who liked to do things right. Yesterday I log onto the KB site specifically to find out if it was Scott.

Tragic! Just one mistake in the wrong place at the wrong time, and the consequences are so final.... Given the loss I feel, I can't imagine what it must be like for those who actually knew him. My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. Rest in Peace Scott.

Leong

[The Stranger]

Rest in Peace Scott

To family and friends: Please take care of each other through this tough time. We will all be thinking of you.

Christine & Noel

[LXS]

Rest in Peace, Scott.

My condolences & sympathies to Scott's family & friends.

[StoneChucker]

I recently found out the impact this has on one's family. I truly hope his parents, other family and close friends can at some point be at peace with this, and themselves. Life is so precious, and delicate. From what those that know him said, one solace is that Scott enjoyed life, was a good person and was doing what he loved till the end.

May Scott rest in peace and may strength be with his parents, to let them in time, come to terms with this and be at peace.

R.I.P.

[zeRax]

argh.. ive been away from the forum for ages, sad thing to see upon coming back, best wishes to scott in finding some nice tracks to ride

[RiderInBlack]

RIP Scott. You X-mas message showed that you lived life to it fullest. Sorry to hear of your death. Sorry that I will never meet you as you sounded like a great guy to know.
May you ride forever free:ride:

I've never met Scott.
I've never even knew his real name.
But I read his words here.
And he read mine.
And he is a great person indeed.

That I will always remember.

Farewell Scott. We'll see you in the next life.

[Vagabond]

Scott I'm sorry I never got to meet you, condolences to all who knew you.

Colin

[motobull]

condolences to loved ones of Scott.
I know I thought of him today when out for a ride and will continue to do so as will all of the KB community.
Let all of us live life to the full as Scott did

[trumpy]

Scott, we hardly got to know you but that we did know we liked...RIP
To his family our condolences

[cher]

R I P scott sincerest condolences to scott's family and friends scott may your eternal star shine forever bright

[nudemetalz]

R.I.P. Scott. I never met you, but still feel sadness to these circumstances. Motorcyclists are a family that non-motorcyclists will never understand.

[Oakie]

To Scott's family.
Although you may not think particularly kindly of bikes and bikers at the moment, please know that Scott enriched many lives during the short period he was part of our group. It was great to see a new biker who thought so much about keeping himself safe ... which makes this tragedy so much harder to deal with for all of us.

Richard

[Virago]

Heartfelt sympathy to Scott's family and friends.

A great guy, taken too soon.

Ride on, brother.

Ken

[mv.senna]

To Scott's family, friends and loved ones, my sincere condolences. No words can dull the pain that you're all going through at this terrible time. I pray that you find strength in each other and the memories you have of Scott to help you in your grief. I never met Scott in person, but got a glimpse of his personality and character through his posts on this site, and I just hope that it's some small comfort that Scott was at least doing something he so clearly loved when he was taken. RIP Scott. My thoughts and prayers to his loved ones.

regards,
Jo

[Hitcher]

As bikers, we generally understand the risks associated with the passion of riding -- a joy we all share and celebrate. It is sometimes hard to explain this to non-riders, particularly those who may have lost a loved friend or family member to a riding accident.

Korowetere was a comparatively recent contributor to Kiwi Biker. But it was clear from his posts that he was passionate about riding. Tragically he is with us no more but he rides with us all in spirit.

[justsomeguy]

To the family:

My condolences and kindest regards.

I hope matters proceed smoothly and you all regain some peace in life soon.

JSG.

[emaN]

It would have been great to meet him in the BOP...he seems a top bloke to get to know.
He obviously cherished his friends and family and their love.
May you find strength in that same love during this incredibly difficult time.
Sincerely,
Jon

[Cibby]

Only spoke to him a couple of times Via email.

My thoughts are with the family during this time.

Racheal.

[juzzer]

I never had the pleasure of meeting Scott in person but he seemed top be a top bloke who enjoyed life.

It is never easy losing a loved one especially in such tragic circumstances and far before his time.

My thoughts are with Scott’s family and all those involved.

Justin

[Lou Girardin]

I did meet Scott at AMPS, he seemed a great guy. What a shame.

[bugjuice]

sorry to hear about such a short-lived passion. It's a shame that he wasn't able to enjoy it longer, it sounds like he would have.

Condolences to family and friends. It's never easy to understand

[jazbug5]

Very sorry for your loss.

[babyB]

My thoughts are with Scott’s family and friends

We will always know this angel is here.
For this angel has left marks in or hearts and minds,
only something such an angel could design.
Forever with an angel is what we pray,
An angel we will remember here today.

Peace be with you Scott

[raster]

Our thoughts are with Scott and his family.

[Brett]

Such sad news. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

[Mattyc]

My thoughts are with Scott’s family and friends, this brings a tear to my eye. I never met Scott, but saw a lot of his posts on here, he seemed like a genuine top bloke, and its a huge loss to the KB community, Scotts family and friends.

Rest in peace Brother.

[fishb8nz]

Scott worked as an engineer at Huntly Power Station in the late 90s. He was a highly respected young man who had great ideas. He instigated the setting up of Emergency Response Team. He had great vision. as well as being a really likeable person.
I wasn't aware that it was him until today. He will be missed.

[Firefight]

I will be printing these messages off next week and taking them round to

Scotts dad, anyone who still wishes to add a message can you please do so

by 1800hours Monday the 16th.

thanks
