Remembrance seat for Uncle B.

[Drum]

....The visual integrity of the seat isn't the most important thing anyway. ...

I totally agree. We will always know the significance of it regardless of any vandalism.

[Lissa]

Is the ride still on on Saturday? Will be making my way over the takas slowly saturday morning for it.

[James Deuce]

Don't sink into the tar swamp! You'll have to keep moving to avoid it.

[skelstar]

Meh I went through the tar-swamp on Monday and it was fine. Damn sight hotter then than it is today.

Only a phone shot........

Ah..good - was waiting for a photo
Well done all those involved. Prolly wont be able to make it this weekend but will be down to have a sit with Bruce in the near future.

[Trudes]

Just got back from having my dessert with my hubby on Bruce's seat, I have to say I'm impressed with the job the council did. Now, how to keep the birdys from pooing on it.:whistle:
Saturday weather looks good so far, so should be good to get together down there, and we'll have a special visitor so please make sure you all make her feel welcome, as only us KBers can eh!:hug:

Ahh, think I get it now.

[Kendog]

The seat is perfect, well done honey :hug:

And nice work as well Skunk :2thumbsup

[Skunk]

I did nothing compared to Mrs KD's efforts.

[Trudes]

Arh, you're all too kind, pat yourselves on the back for being so generous with your money to make this happen and offering to help also.:hug:

It didn't take too much persuasion, she seems tickled pink that we've done this. Debbie said to me that the biking world was Bruce's thing, but whether she likes it or not, she's part of the family now.:cool:

[Lissa]

[Drum]

Can't make Saturdays ride, but I've shed my tear already.

HTFU Drum.

[The Tazman]

My thoughts are with you all. Unfortunately I have just got home from 12 hours at work and am back for another 12 at 6pm so can not make the ride.

Will head on over on Tuesday when I get my new tyre put on.

Hope all goes well, looks like it's going to be a fanTAZtic day weather wise as I go to bed!!!!!

[Grub]

It's a syunning morning, had brekky, just hoping that the sun warms stuff up a bit in the next 90 mins. \

See you all there

[merv]

We had a good turnout for the remembrance ride today and here's just a couple of pics of the seat - which is looking great thanks to all those that contributed to it happening.

Its a bit shadowy trying to get a photo of the plaque in the morning, I probably need to go back one afternoon and get a shot with the sun on it.

[phoenixgtr]

Thanks Merv. That looks great

[Trudes]

What an awesome day!!!
Thanks so much to everyone who came out to join us today, enjoy the day and share memories. Lovely to see you all.

[Crasherfromwayback]

I'll torch the place tonight Pete.

See ya tomorrow.

Right. I had to go to work today mate...as the shop was still there!

For that...you're booked in for a ride on our B-King.

[James Deuce]

Aww yeah, I knew I forgot something when I left work!

I'll give you a yell and book a lunchtime this week.

Cheers!

Again, a HUGE thank you to everyone who contributed to Bruce's seat, as a result of you all being very generous we have $370 left over after purchasing the seat, so I will be donating this money to the SPCA this weekend on behalf of Bruce and Debbie. Thanks everyone.:niceone:

Showed my Bro' the seat today and got another clearer pic of the plaque. Its great to see the vandals have stayed away.

[James Deuce]

It's been repainted at least twice. I also had a "chat" with a couple of lads two nights ago.

[Trudes]

Glad the council are keeping their end of the deal and looking after it...... them and Jim:niceone:

[merv]

Oh, so the little shits are hard at work, but I was pleased to see the plaque all nice and clear.

I hope Bruce is having a good Christmas looking down on all this.
