A belated skim through the Hutt News produced this:
Memories, freedom stolen.
I recieved a phone call early this week from my father (77 years old). He was in tears and highly emotional. He rang to tell me that someone had entered his property in Naenae and stolen his motorbike.
The motorcycle was a 1982 Honda CX Custom black and gold. An old bike one would say, however it was a lasting gift that my mother and a good friend of ours had arranged for dad a few years ago. To see him ride this machine was pure inspiration as he often said to me, "it makes me feel free".
My mother got the bike for him a week before she passed away, and for this darling old gent it was his connection to her, as they had (met?) when they were in England over 54 years ago and had been keen motorcyclists. ...snip...
May have been posted here but a quick search revealed nothing.
The article was by Brian Cole, in letters to the editor.
Be real nice to make a difference for once, anyone got anything?
